In race to 270, it may come down to 106 counties

LEESBURG, Va. (AP) -- How Virginia goes in the presidential election may come down to voters who live amid the small wineries, affluent subdivisions and Civil War battlegrounds of Loudoun County.
Voters in the tony Hamilton County suburbs around the humming riverside economic engine of Cincinnati may tip the balance in Ohio.

This has to be one close race, and it's one that we in the late, great, blue state of California are just watching from the sidelines.

In these counties more than anywhere else, voters' phones ring every night with automated telephone surveys. Every day, glossy mailers hit their mailboxes. Televisions crackle day and night with campaign ads.

So, there is an up side to being on the sidelines. At least, we're not being buried in bull(beep!)

it is not pleasant being a swing state.

I had read a couple months ago that it was considerably fewer than that like < 20 (wish I remember exactly). if there is anything to this it would seem to amount to a notable shift .
