What date will CNN finally give in and push Obama to 270 Electoral Votes or higher?
It is the suspicion of many bloggers that CNN is deliberate in their desire to not put Obama at 270+ to make the election seem closer than it is. I doubt there is such a conspiracy, but nonetheless it is odd that Virginia and Colorado have not been moved at least to "Lean Obama" and shaded light blue.
SETTLEMENT - The day that cnn.com's official electoral map scores Obama at 270 Electoral Votes or higher before midnight of the date range in question.
Settlement details:
As reported by a major mainstream news source.
