President Obama’s campaign manager Jim Messina posted a new video today laying out Obama’s path to reelection. Including the ‘lean Obama’ states of Nevada, New Mexico, Minnesota, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, Messina claims Obama already has 243 of the 272 Electoral College votes he needs to win in November. He gives Romney the lean states of Arizona, Missouri, and Indiana for a total of 191 Electoral College votes.
This leaves Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida (a total of 104 Electoral College votes) up for grabs.
