Washington Examiner's Tim Carney on why he thinks Obama will win

He's their senior political commentator (and he and I have known each other for years; as long as you don't talk politics with him he's the nicest guy in the world).

He is apparently the only person at the Examiner who can read a poll.

He says Obama could go up to 331 if he gets Florida and Virginia. But that gets him to 332. Anyway he is essentially making the "safe" picks. I don't see a whole lot of "analysis".
