It's OVER with Ohio. OBAMA all but guaranteed 272 EV!!!

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

Using the states called by NBC so far, Obama is at 195 EV

CA = 55
Wash & Oregon = 18 EV
Hawaii 4 EV.


OHIO wins it. Pop those corks.

5. OH only has 20 EVs.

Still, this is promising that Obama is this far ahead with no bigs reporting.

10. I don't want to be a downer, but so far, the map hasn't changed from 2004

It all boils down to the battleground states.
