Believe in America, A Mitt Romney 2012 collab timeline

POD:
Romney never makes the 47% comment or mentions about Russia being a threat and Romney performs in the debate just like he did in the first one OTL. And Ryan out performs Biden in the VP debate.


November 6th 2012: Mitt Romney narrowly beats President Obama after a rise in polling toward the near end of the election and Paul Ryan appeals to moderates and independents more than in OTL.

I don't think that avoiding the 47% moment, and picking Fiorinia as VP would alone lead to a Romney win.
 
Minor nitpick but I think Colorado was closer than Nevada. Also unless it's super close Romney could pick up Iowa and Pennsylvania too I think, though I might be wrong. Still, this looks interesting.
