The Republicans have an uphill battle this year to win the presidency.In order to win they must win all the states they won in 2008 which will account for 180 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win .They need to win three traditionally Republican states that they lost last election (Indiana,Virginia and North Carolina) which accounts for 39 more votes bringing the total to 219 with 51 more needed.The following states are considered toss-up states ( meaning they could vote either way the number after each state is how many electoral votes the state has) Florida-29,Pennsylvania -20,Ohio 18,Wisconsin 10,New Hampshire 4,Iowa 6,Colorado 9, Nevada 6,New Mexico 5. As you can see by the numbers they have to win at least three of the toss-up states to win.
