The minimalist approach to an Obama victory

I've been looking at "The Map."

I'm considering WI and MI a lock for Obama. This gets Obama to 227.

Add PA, NV, and NH which are all very strong for Obama and you get to 257.

I think IA is solid for Obama too. That gets us to 263.

I think Colorado is strong for Obama. That's 272

So Obama can win without Ohio which looks good and VA which looks OK. And this doesn't even mention NC or FL.
