10. Nope! That's the best part

This map shows Obama with 290 EV, if all the currently Dem leaning (light blue) states hold fast. In this scenario, Obama can lose VA and NC and still win.

If Obama adds VA, its 303 EV for the win. If he also ads FL, it's 332 EV. Toss in NC, and you're looking at 347 EV.

I'd call that a blow out, but I'll still take our current 290 and go home happy
