Obama Roasts McCain at Al Smith Dinner in NYC
Posted in Community, Entertainment on October 20th, 2008Fact: (Reuters) -
Obama leads in all of the states won by Democrat John Kerry in 2004 as well as in several states won by Republican President George W. Bush, recent polls show.
Obama or McCain need 270 electoral votes to win the Electoral College and capture the White House in the November 4 election.
The president is determined not by the most votes nationally but by a majority of the Electoral College, which has 538 members allotted to all 50 states and the District of Columbia in proportion to their representation in Congress.
