Rmoney has a 30 percent chance of winning Ohio. However, he has a 53 percent chance of winning Virginia, a 48 percent chance of winning Colorado, a 38 percent chance of winning New Hampshire, and a 35 percent chance of winning Iowa. Should he pull out of Ohio and focus on other paths to get to 270?

He has a 30% chance according to partisan hack Nate Silver. Yes, Romney has an Ohio problem, but he does not have only a 30% chance of winning the state.

Also, Romney only needs to get to 269, not 270. Obama needs to get to 270.

Sure - Ohio's in the bag for the Mittster, don't y'know. Boston HQ would be better off concentrating on PA at this stage - or maybe MA? Actually, since he's so far ahead in almost all the national polls and certain to win at least OH and IA without any further effort, his best move would be to suspend his campaign, coast to victory, and invest the money he'd save in an offshore account. And buy another Caddy.

No candidate should concede anything before the election.

No, with 15 days to go until the election, anything can happen.

Why should Romney give up? Ohio might be closer then you think. Take a look at other polls.
