Romney is hoping the choice of Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan as his No. 2 helps him flip that state to his ugg boots sale column. He leads in North Carolina, a historically Republican state that Obama narrowly won in 2008.

Top Romney advisers insisted they remain well-positioned to take Ohio and the White House in November. They took heart in the Republican primary race, which featured several challengers who moved past Romney in polls only to fade in the end.

"We know how to win. We are very patient," said one senior strategist. "We don't try to please everybody and understand that it's not about winning every day. Remember when Perry was 20 points ahead?"

Newhouse said Obama would eventually give up ugg boots outlet on North Carolina, where Democrats held their nominating convention last week. Obama campaign spokesman Ben Labolt called the idea "crazy."

Romney has already been preparing for the debates, which begin on October 3 in Denver with a focus on domestic policy. The vice presidential debate is October 11 in Kentucky, while Romney and Obama will meet again in a town hall format on October 16 in New York and to debate foreign policy on October 22 in Florida.

Romney began debate practice last week during the Democratic convention, sparring against Ohio Senator Rob Portman, who played Obama. Obama will sharpen his ugg boots debating skills against Massachusetts Senator John Kerry.
