(36,164 posts)2. He got 365 in 2008
Probably won't be that high this time, but no doubt a solid win
pscot
(21,025 posts)7. I think he'll be close to that
Terra Alta
(5,158 posts)3. Around 280 or so
Nowhere near what he got in 2008, but enough to squeak out a win.
That's my number

No response.

(161 posts)19. Obama with 319
It could be higher, but I don't see it being above 330. All in all, a solid win for President Obama.
