If Obama wins Ohio.. Obama wins the election!

If Obama won Ohio and lost in all the other battleground states, he would still win the election!

Here is a map generated by ABC's electoral vote map calculator:

Go Obama!!

PS - Obama curently has an eight point lead in Ohio!!

Other possible keys are FL and CO/VA.

I think the bigger story here though is that Obama can win WITHOUT Ohio. That's amazing after the last two elections.

Obama has so many viable paths to victory.  It widens the playing field for McCain, and with Obama's near unlimited resources makes it hard for McCain to mount a serious defense.

I was looking at the battleground states page and with CO/NH.. you don't even need VA.. so many combinations.. I can't see Obama loosing unless some huge event happens.. which I pray deosn't.

with early voting, it would have to be something pretty horrific to turn the tide.  When I talk to people now, it seems like they are tuning out the race.  They've made up their minds, and either they've already voted or they have made up their minds.

I think that the few swing voters left will break towards whoever the winner appears to be (Obama). 

As long as we don't get complacent, we can enjoy both an Obama victory as well as Republican recriminations about what went wrong next Tuesday.  I'll have my popcorn ready.
