It's especially weird because third parties are comparatively stronger than in 2008 and 2004, both of which had 4 of these. I think that says much about Obama's "firewall" in close elections.

Dave will probably start adding write-ins to the totals once we have final results certified, which would likely drag states like Florida down into >40% territory.

And add one point to my prediction score! Smiley

But honestly, I'd rather have Obama win >50%, for the symbolism.
