(Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Illinois, New York, Rhode Island, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska (1 of 5), Iowa, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii)

So, notice that Obama is ALREADY up to 258. By this point in the evening, I’m pretty sure that the race has been called for Obama because one of the previous battleground states will probably be called by this point (Indiana, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Ohio, Florida). These states equal 103 electoral votes (I think… what’s important is that the number is high). Obama leads in at least 3 of those (Penn, MO, OH)… and probably more. If Obama wins Ohio, Florida or Pennsylvania… that gets him over the 270 he needs.
