I've been going around saying that Obama needs Ohio, Virginia, or Florida, to win - that just getting Colorado would be enough. Turns out I was just plain wrong - it only takes 270 electoral votes to win, not 276 as I had thought.
So if you look at the electoral map (another one here), Obama can win it if he wins Colorado and New Hampshire, but loses Ohio, Virginia AND Florida. Now that makes me sleep a little better at night.
