DU informal contest - Predict the Electoral Vote outcome for tomorrow's election

Ok here's the rules.

Pick the final electoral vote count. You don't have to name all the states but you can use the link below to figure out your final count (it's interactive)

http://www.270towin.com/

Tie breaker - what time the race is called. We'll use MSNBC since it's the most friendliest of News Sites. Post your EV Votes in the subject line along with the time!

I went through the map and did the shading from right to left to determine announcing time. Polls close in Colorado at 7pm MST (9PM EST). I think the 270 votes will happen then and we'll get the announcement at 9:15 EST.

I think Florida goes to Clinton. She wins Ohio by the thinnist of margins.

On edit: Oh, the time. They'll have to wait until polls close in California. I'll say 10:00 EST.
