2008 Elections: State Breakdown

One aspect of Arkansas I have forgotten about until this week is that it is the headquarters of the KKK. While Arkansas routinely votes Democrats into office, will they vote for a black man?

Here are my most current updates to my initial posts:

Arkansas: from leaning Obama to leaning McCain -- no new polls, but that whole KKK thing
Colorado: from leaning McCain to leaning Obama
Indiana: from leaning McCain to solid McCain
Minnesota: from leaning Obama to solid Obama
Nevada: from toss-up to leaning Obama
New Hampshire: from leaning Obama to solid Obama
New Mexico: from leaning Obama to solid Obama
North Carolina: from leaning McCain to toss-up
North Dakota: from leaning McCain to solid McCain
Ohio: from toss-up to solid Obama
Oregon: from leaning Obama to solid Obama
Tennessee: from solid McCain to leaning McCain

Ultimately, Obama needs neither Ohio nor Florida to win, but this is still very close. If McCain were to win in Ohio, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, and Colorado, and Obama were to win Nevada, we could see an electoral tie. What is essentially going on is that Obama has 264 certain electoral votes, so as long as he gets those other six from somewhere, anywhere, he will win the election. If just one uncertain state goes to him he will win.

Question: Will the growing prevalence of absentee ballots eventually render election night concessions a thing of the past?

Looking at the sampling of popular votes, I would call Florida for Obama before Ohio.

Only if this trend of a polarized nation voting near 50-50 continues. Hopefully this election will break that trend and Obama will win by a healthy-enough electoral margin for all the lawyers to stay at home that night.
 
Okay, as of today, here are my most current updates to my initial posts:

Florida -- from leaning McCain to solid McCain (you were right, Cassie)
Montana -- from leaning McCain to solid McCain
Nevada -- from toss-up to solid Obama
North Carolina -- from leaning McCain to leaning Obama
Tennessee -- I've gone back to my original solid McCain estimation.

If voting were today, Obama would win. His lead now appears to be solid.
 
OMG I need to get my last predictions in before it is too late:

McCain will definitely win: _____ Obama will definitely win:
AL AK AZ GA _________________ CA CO CT DE
ID IN KS LA ________________ HI IL IA ME
MS MO MT NE ________________ MD MA MI MN
ND OK SC SD ________________ NV NH NJ NM
TN TX UT WY ________________ NY NC OK OR
_______________________)____ PA RI VT WA
___________________________ WI DC

McCain will probably win:
AR FL KY VA
WV
