This is brutal news for Obama. Colorado is a must have for him, and all the polls were showing him with a comfortable lead.
If Obama loses Colorado, he stands a good chance of losing Minnesota and Pennsylvania, and has no chance of carrying Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina or Florida.
Could this be the sign that we'll see a McCain/Palin 300 electoral vote night?
That is not true. Just because CO comes through, that means nothing relative to NC or VA given the minority population in the latter states. I am worried about both NC and VA. Turnout in northern VA appears to be very heavy and I am not hearing concurrent info from red parts of VA.
It's one of many signs that have been pointing to a comfortable McCain/Palin victory for weeks. And you can throw WI, IA, NH, NM and MI into the mix of states Obama may well lose this evening.
