MSNBC Finally Moves VA and CO to "Lean Obama" - He Doesn't NEED PA, OH or FL to reach 270

I'm sure this is old, but just heard it and was wondering what took them so long?!

Chuck Todd on NBC Nightly News: "We're going to be, this weekend, moving Virginia and Colorado - two tossup states - into the 'lean Obama' category. That moves his total to 286. ... If Nevada, which is a state that's also trending in Obama's direction, went in his column at 291, that means he could lose Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida to McCain and still be at 270. It's a big shift. It just shows you the expanded playing field for Obama has paid off. He is not banking on those big states."

2. yesterday Chuck Todd said.......

...even if McCain manages to win OH, PA and FL (and he added that this is highly unlikely) but even if he did, if he loses CO, he would still be 2 EVs short of 270!!!

3. I'm not ready to relinquish Ohio's tenuous grip on the lead

so I'll be back on the pavement tomorrow, next week, and on election day, giving rides to anyone who hasn't voted yet.

6. Keep working, but I fear Bush's interference with voter registration issues.

4. He'll get PA, that much is pretty certain

Ohio and Florida would just be nice, big, juicy strawberries on top of a very elegant and yummy cake!

5. This is where Bush and Cheney declare martial law and suspend the election.

Wonder what they're gonna do to trigger the panic. A run on the banks? An "Operation Northwoods" incident?
