Looking extremely good for Obama at this moment. It's shaping up to look like the 1996 race between Clinton and Dole. That seems somewhat appropriate. |
This will not be a repeat of the 96 election. The popular vote will be much closer than 49% (C)-40% (D). The EC vote will also be much closer than 379 (C)-159 (D). I would say OH and NV would hitherto vote for McCain. I also find it a bit perplexing that they awarded Obama VA but called NV and OH toss-up states. If the election were held today, I would say the EC vote would be 273 (O)-265 (M)-possibly 286 (O)-252 (M).
