Per our map, to reach 270, Obama has to hold on to the Kerry states -- winning New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin -- and pick up just one more state other than Nevada (which would get him to 269 and send the election to the House). Here’s McCain’s challenge: If he’s unable to turn a blue state red, then he has to win EVERY SINGLE Toss-up to get to 270. It’s doable, but it’s also the poker equivalent of drawing an inside straight. Also, not only does McCain share Vietnam veteran status with the last two Democratic nominees for president (Gore and Kerry); he also shares the need for a similar Electoral College strategy.No wonder he went all in. It's a good thing Obama seems to know how to play his own cards.
