|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corry | Obama | 326 | Obama | 6% | Obama carries PA, VA, OH, and loses FL and NC. |
| Jp | McCain | 285 | Obama | 2% | Hillary supporters are the difference, OH, FL, Bradley effect. |
| Tgeary | McCain | 271 | McCain | 0.5% | Looking increasingly unlikely, but I cannot give up my confidence in my country yet. |
| DinsdaleP | Obama | 338 | Obama | 4% | Obama carries PA, VA, OH, and NC. Loses FL and MO., Sen. 60-seat margin, Ca. no on 8, Co. no on 48. |
| DRamon | McCain | 271 | McCain | 0.5% | You gotta have hope! |
| NewCrusader | ? | ? | Obama | 4% | Polls show Obama is going to get the popular easily - but as this seems to be from making the blue states even bluer, it might not translate to electoral collage votes. I don't know enough to call that one, sorry. |
| DRamon | McCain | 271 | McCain | 0.5% | You gotta have hope! |
| RJJensen | Obama | 400 | Obama | 10% | Tsunami today. Obama outspent McCain by 3-1 and has 3x or 4x as many volunteers phoning to get out the vote. GOP folks are depressed and big losses in Senate and House races--will drag McCain down. |
| Boomcoach | Obama | 338 | Obama | 5% | Obama carries FL, OH and VA, plus all Kerry states. Senate 59-41. Dems pick up 25 House seats. CA Prop 8 fails. |
