If MSNBC is correctand Obama has 200 electoral votes with California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii out there, then we may no longer be watching for an Obama win but for an Obama mandate. California, as Keith Olbermann said, is worth 55 electoral votes, Washington, 11, Hawaii four and Oregon seven. That’s 77 more electoral votes.
Does he have another 50 or 60 to win? If he wins Florida, Colorado and Nevada he is going to get pretty close.
