Since 1904, only two democrats have won without Ohio as well. John F. Kennedy and FDR in '44.
The winner of Ohio has won 25 of the last 27 presidential elections -- and it's been 100% must win for Republicans.
Romney would need an inside-straight to win this without Ohio. He'd have to get all the coin flips and steal one somewhere like Iowa where I don't think he has a chance.
