At the same time, the Romney campaign has bought television advertising in the Boston market, which reaches screens in New Hampshire, a state Obama won by almost 10 points in 2008. Asked whether Romney himself would be visiting Wisconsin in the closing days of the race, Eric Fehrnstrom, a senior Romney adviser, said: 'Yes. Paul Ryan was just in Pittsburgh. We'll be back in Wisconsin, sure. Wisconsin is definitely in play.' On his way: Mitt Romney, pictured boarding his campaign plane on Tuesday, is set to visit Wisconsin Ready to pounce: The Republican campaign is expanding its geographical horizons Representative Ryan, whose district is in Wisconsin, visited Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, at the weekend. Recent polls have put Romney within striking distance or even ahead of Obama, who won there by 10 points in 2008. Fehrnstrom held out the possibility of Romney competing seriously not only in New Hampshire and Wisconsin but also in the big prizes of Pennsylvania and Michigan, which Obama won by 17 points four years ago. More... Too little too late, Mr President? Romney DOUBLES his lead in new national poll just hours after Obama goes to war in final TV debate Sorry Mr President, but the troops DO need horses and bayonets! Obama zinger over 'old-fashioned' fighting techniques ignores their continued use 'There's no quit in America': Obama ditches the negativity in new ad campaign and pamphlet of plan for next four years Asked about Pennsylvania and Michigan, he said: 'There's places we're going up for the first time,' he said. 'We just bought Boston TV so we can beam into southern New Hampshire because the battle is tightening there. 'All I would say to that is stay tuned. You've seen the polls coming out of those states. It does show a narrowing of the gap and we're watching those very closely.' On the defensive: Barack Obama is set to lose several states he won in 2008 In recent weeks, the race has settled down to three big battleground states - Ohio, Virginia and Florida. Romney almost certainly needs to win all three and is now ahead in Florida and Virginia and closing fast to within a few points in Ohio. In addition, the candidates have been travelling to Colorado, where Obama defeated Senator John McCain by nine points in 2008, Nevada, where he won by 13, Iowa, where he won by 10, and North Carolina, where he eked out victory by less than one per cent. Strikingly, all nine states currently being contested were won by Obama in 2008 and Romney is not having to defend any states McCain won. In addition, Indiana, which Obama won by one point, has been surrendered. Obama beat McCain by seven points and 192 electoral college votes nationally in 2008 so Romney is clearly the one who needs to make up ground. But in a race where Obama was long viewed as holding an advantage in terms of the electoral map, the shift towards Romney is striking. 'Something structural changed in the race after that first debate and nothing has happened since to change the new structure of the race,' said Fehrnstrom. 'I think the Obama campaign feels a little desperate about the state of the race.' Clash: The two candidates met in Boca Raton last night for the third presidential debate Aggressive strategy: Romney is hoping to see an opening in states that had been solidly pro-Obama There are dangers, however, in attempting to expand the map. Any resources poured into Wisconsin, New Hampshire or Pennsylvania are resources taken away from Ohio. The bottom line for both the Romney and the Obama campaigns is that whoever wins Ohio will almost certainly win the election. Jim Messina, Obama's campaign manager, was forced to rebut an assertion by Paul Begala, a top Democratic strategist who works for a super PAC allied with Obama, that North Carolina had been conceded.
