You can add in one electoral vote from Nebraska, which may come into play.

Where do we get our 11 votes to win this race.

Nevada 6
Colorado 9
Iowa 6
Wisconsin 10
Virginia 10
North Carolina 15
Florida 29
Nebraska 1 (they split votes, Obama won 1 in 2008).

Post here where we'll get our 11 Electoral votes.

My thoughts - I think Colorado and Wisconsin are safe and we'll get their 19 votes. We'll also get one from Nebraska which gives us another 1 vote that puts us at 20 or 269 votes. Unfortunately that puts us at an even split which means we need to find 1 more electoral vote somewhere.

I think Florida will go Romney thanks to all the hideous stuff that Rick Scott has done this past year.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

1. Wisconsin and Virginia

Don't know what else. But I'm sure there will be another.

2. I think we're good in Colorado if we get strong voter turnout in Denver

Virginia is just iffy to me at this time but I'm hoping for the best.

3. Iowa.

8. +1

4. Is Ohio a lock?

[LynneSin]

5. We could say that about Pennsylvania too

But those 2 states have been leaning blue now for over a month with Obama up around 10 points. So I think we can count on those 2 states.

6. Rmoney has zero chance in Colorado

Obama has locked up the votes thanks to multiple gaffes that offends Colorado by both Rmoney and Rayn.

7. Nevada will deliver

9. Your numbers don't add up.

If Obama gets Michigan and Ohio he will only need 15 more votes, not 21. Add NH and he only needs 11.

That's 259 without NV, CO, IA, WI, VA, NC, FL, and 1 from Nebraska.

10. I'm going out on a limb and saying we will win 6 of those 7 states.

the only one I'm unsure of is whether we will lose Florida or North Carolina.

11. I think we get all of them except NC

These things tend to tidal wave in the swing states. I don't see NC as a real swing state and VA is borderline.

12. I would say that Colorado is a toss-up...

It depends on the turnout. If the Repubs are not enthused enough, Obama will carry our state. I think the President will also carry Wisconsin, even with Ryan on Repub ticket, and also Iowa.

I think Obama stands a good chance of winning Florida. Nevada, VA, and NC are up in the air.
