Obama's organized and active there. The incumbent (R) is producing fliers linking himself to Obama. So, clearly, it's in play at some level. Beyond that, I'm simply optimistic about Obama in the Midwest and somewhat pessimistic about his performance in the South.

I guess I'm being pessimistic but I can't just don't feel confident enough about Ohio and Florida for Obama yet.

Obama 291 51%
McCain 247 47%


This is nearly the only sane prediction on here.

Obama has been consistently leading in polls in Ohio and Florida. Why is it insane to project those states going to him?

I just think its entertaining to see Dems setting themselves up for a major breakdown. Why is it that the bravado of both the Obama campaign and its supporters just doesn't seem too stable?

Huh. I don't know, I think Dems have great reason for confidence right now. No one wants to say "it's over" but note that pretty much all we're disputing is the size of Obama's win. Every Democrat has in the back of his mind that something terrible can happen--think of all we've lived through this decade while you guys romped from one victory to another--but if ever there was cause for optimism in a Presidential election, it is this year.

The polls are beginning to affirm my 338-200 prediction. Missouri, Indiana and North Carolina are "coming home" and Virginia, Colorado and now even Nevada are beginning to look ridiculous.

You mean to say that Missouri, Indiana, and North Carolina are 'coming home' to Republicanism, and that our hopes for Virginia, Colorado and Nevada are beginning to look ridiculous?

you're overplaying the shtick, bro

SRSLY
