I'm still not a very big fan of electoral-vote.com because they assign electoral college votes for states even though the difference between the candidates is (much) smaller than the margin of error on the polls they use, and much smaller than the number of undecided voters. I prefer pollster.com which currently has McCain at 163 while Obama is at 250 with 125 electoral votes undecided.

At the moment, I would expect Obama to win if there was an election today ... Since McCain only really needs a 1% to 2% swing in only a handful of states to win this election I think this can still be called a very close race.

An interesting thing to watch will be if the $700 Billion bailout effectively calms the market will this benefit McCain or Obama more, and will the $700 Billion bailout itself hurt McCain or Obama more. There are reasons why it could go either way ...
