Romney campaign pitches "3-2-1 plan"

Jon Ralston notes that, according to internal campaign documents, the Romney campaign recently made a pitch to potential Nevada donors using the "3-2-1" path to get to 270 electoral votes.

In case you're not aware of it, Karl Rove wrote about the path last week, which essentially looks like this.

Romney needs...

3 = Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia -- these are the states Obama flipped that have historically gone Republican.

2 = Ohio and Florida.

1 = one more state from the following available: Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or New Hampshire.
