anything other than governor romney failed on that answer. >> now, both -- to both chris and mark, we look at where they are today. and clearly ohio and virginia, those are the important state right now. mark, first to you, the battleground as you now see it post-debate, shaping up in this next three weeks? >> it's great fun to play with the map and pretend we live in a country with 50 states but, in fact, we've been down to a nine state election now down to a two state election. the president has had a big advantage in the electoral college and governor romney still needs to overcome that. all nine states the president won four years ago. if governor romney is able to win virginia, florida and north carolina, virginia the toughest of the three, then he's in a stronger position, but then it hinges on ohio. i think the president -- governor romney basically has to win those four states. if he does, if he wins the three southern battle xwroundss, virginia, north carolina and florida and finds a way to win ohio he is in a commanding position. he needs to win one of the remaining five states i
