Momentum? Bullshit, Mitt. You're boxed into Ohio and you know it.

Obama For America IS "doubling down" in FL, VA and NC.

Last week Romney retreated to Ohio claiming his campaign had locked up NC, VA and FL.

Bullshit, Mitt. You're boxed into Ohio and you know it.

And as a consequence, you can't afford to follow through in FL, VA and NC.

Per David Axelrod, "Anybody who thinks those states are in the bag is half in the bag themselves." He also noted, "We have added millions to TV spending in each of these states. We are doubling down.

Team Obama knows they're WINNING: President up Double Digits among Women in Internal Polls

Forget the public national polls showing Mitt Romney pulling even with Barack Obama among women, according to senior Obama advisers steeped in internal data: Obama enjoys a “strong, double-digit” lead among female voters in battleground states like Ohio.The same holds true in Pennsylvania, where the president remains on “solid” ground, despite several public polls showing a tightening race, according to senior campaign officials.

They also say their secret weapon in Wisconsin — a key to Obama’s Midwest-heavy electoral path — is the state’s same-day registration law, with new voters breaking to Obama by a predicted 2-to-1 margin.

I've said it before and I will again: Obama's campaign forced Romney into a strategy where he has to win Ohio -- and he's not going to win Ohio.
