Todd: Virginia, Colorado Lean to Obama
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.”
CNN was the first network to publish a forecast showing Obama could get 270 electoral votes.
