told jm morgan economist said cliff-related fiscal issues could take a full percentage point away fromowth next year. >>> now our fourth story "outfront." we have breaking political news. we're reporting that mitt romney's staff is starting to pull out of the state of north carolina. you say why? because they're failing? apparently the campaign is so confident of a win there, they're shifting resources to battleground ohio instead. the latest polls appear to back them up on that, showing romney in the lead before the first game-changing debate. the numbers got better since then. here's the current cnn electoral map. this assumes that nine states are toss-ups, one is the state of north carolina. if mitt romney wins there, he's 15 electoral votes closer to election. if you add in florida, colorado and virginia, he's still not at 270, which is the number required to win. now, if he can pick up ohio in addition to those, he'll be the next president and his team thinks the move out of north carolina did help him do that to ohio. obama and the dnc are determined to stop him. brad, what's you
