Palin was the wrong pick for McCain and the country was tired of Bush at that point regardless of the financial crisis. McCain might have carried FL/NC/VA/OH/IN, but Obama would still have won. (Polls over the summer mostly had Obama winning all Kerry states plus IA, NM, CO; considering NV ended up to the left of several of those and polling there is frequently wrong, he would've likely won there as well). Consistent with an overall popular vote margin of about 1%:



Obama wins, 278-260.
