277: Senator Barack Obama/Senator Joseph Biden - 48.8%
261: Senator John McCain/Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. - 49.0%

If the recession is delayed, Obama may lose in 2012.

I think McCain probably would win it, then the recession would hit in 2010ish, we would crush him in the midterms and then again in the GE. Plus Palin would probably destroy herself. RIP GOP after that.

Obama would win because of the Iraq War.

Obama still wins, albeit by a much smaller margin.

Remember, Bush was still very unpopular before the recession.

A tie and Obama wins in the House

I would give it narrowly to Obama as there had been eight years of Republican control previously.

What if PA or Ohio were contested, just as Florida was in 2000, and to a certain extent, Ohio in 2004.

The impact of the crisis can be best seen by checking the RCP average from September 15 to September 26, when it was the main factor and Palin's gaffes and McCain's debate losses did not effect the polls. On the 15th, Obama was at 44.7%, by the 26th he was at 47.9%, an increase of 3.2%. On the 15th, McCain was at 46.3%, by the 26th he was at 43.7%, a fall of 2.6%. I'll combine that to an overall swing of 2.9% to McCain.

Barack Obama/Joe Biden-Democratic: 291 EV 49.96%
John McCain/Sarah Palin-Republican: 247 EV 48.50%
