Swing states only have meaning in a close election, I consider swing states to be those states that are within 2% of Bush's winning 2.9% margin. 

Thus there were only 4 swing states OH, NV, IA, and NM, and Bush won them all.

If one wants to be really generous, one could include all states within 4% of Bush's margin, this only adds WI, FL, and CO.

Since 2008 will be the first wide open election without a party incumbent (President or VP) running since 1952, I expect 2008 to be all about OH.
