Because the race is still close and the west coast polls haven't come in yet.
West Coast almost always votes democratic. Cali alone is worth 55 electoral votes, including oregon and washington, its like 70 something all together.
That's why they keep talking about Romney HAS to win FL, OH, VA, and NC. Because there's basically no chance of him winning the west coast.
Hope that helps.

Just to simplify even more, the west coast is projected to be all for Obama, so although they are currently tied, it's likely that Obama has a big lead.

It crucial for Mitt to take Ohio (1or FL ( 29)
without those, I can't imagine mitt getting close to 270 with the west states get counted for

And he isn't getting either. 100% sure he isn't getting florida and pretty sure he isn't getting Ohio.

And it won't even be close. I mean, Romney lost some really crucial states.

90.9% chance of Obama getting re-elected based on his statistics and algorithms analyzing all the polling, he went out on a huge limb with his numbers

Some people are saying Fl could come to within 10K votes which means an automatic recount ie a repeat of 2000.

What crucial states has he lost so far. I agree I think Obama will win but to say its not close isnt true. The crucial states are ohio, fl, and Virginia and not a single one of those has been called by any network yet

You are right, however it doesn't seem like he can get that margin down to 10k.
And even with Florida, It doesn't add up. It still won't be enough.
