So, we only need CO, NV, IA right?

(Not that we will!) but we could even lose FL, VA, OH, & NC? Or am I missing something?

NBC has called 172 votes for Obama. He needs 270--or 98 more votes to win.

The West Coast, which is solid blue, is good for 78 votes, leaving 20 votes.

He almost certainly wins Nevada, Colorado and Iowa--which together will give him 21 votes.

If he takes those three states, he has 271 votes WITHOUT Ohio, Virginia, NC, or Florida.
