new hampshire 50%
pennsylvania 65%
virginia  50%
north carolina  40%
georgia  10%
florida  45%
west va. 10%
ohio   40%
michigan 75%
missouri  50%
indiana  42.5%
north dakota  40%
new mexico  75%
colorado  50%


Wow, according to J.J., this election's only a 50-50 tossup.

I'll just start by saying Obama has a less than 10% chance of taking states like North Dakota, West Virginia, and Georgia. His chances of taking Indiana and Missouri are a little better, probably around 25% each. Michigan, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania are in the bag, about 90% each. New Mexico is around 80% and Colorado is about the same, perhaps a little less.

The other 4(NC, OH, VA, FL) may be irrelevant if the first 10 I mentioned hold to form, but Obama has a little better than a 50-50 chance in each, the strongest of which would be Virginia. The other 3 are as close to tossups as there are right now.

Of course, this is according to the data analyzed 10/22/08, almost 2 weeks from the election.

I've been calling this election as close for 6 weeks.

PA will be close, but I give it to Obama.

How many times have we heard "McCain will be ahead by the end of the week" or "McCain leads in PA tomorrow" and never had it come to fruition? And where is this infamous weekend bounce you keep claiming Obama is getting? "Calling this election" and making predictions such as these  and having a less than 50% success rate make people such as myself question your credibility on this matter.
