(242 posts)1. That is probably correct.

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.
