CNN has come out with its version of the electoral landscape for the 2012 Election. The short version is that CNN has President Obama leading Mitt Romney 247-206.  Key battleground states according to CNN are Florida, Ohio and Virginia.  With the target at 270 electoral votes, the CNN map gives President Obama an initial advantage over Gov. Romney, but CNN’s John King indicates that the map looks much more similar to the 2000 election of Bush v. Gore.  If President Obama wins either Florida or Ohio, he will win the presidency.  However, Mr. King indicates that several other scenarios are possible as the Republicans and Democrats attempt to put different states in play, such as Arizona or Wisconsin.
