It looks worse than it is, is all I was saying.

It looks like Romney needs 87 more electoral votes, but in fact he only need 44 electoral votes from states already decided. That would give him 44 more points and lower Obamas 44.
But it is 493 out of 538 votes possible. The remaining states can't give Romney over 270 votes even if Obama loses Ohio. Obama would have to lose a second, already accounted for, state. Not one of the uncounted states.

Alaska's polls close in about a half hour.
