West Virginia, Arkansas and Lousiana are all going to go for McCain but in much smaller margins suggested here. I hope...

Realistically? Georgia or North Dakota for Obama. Pennsylvania for McCain.
Not-so-realistically? NE-2 for Obama. Wisconsin or Minnesota for McCain.

ND or MT are the sane, ie non-bold, bold picks. Picking anything else would be just plain stupid.

So... in that spirit... McCain takes California!

Hey, give that back! >:-(

The state that has had more money invested it than any other state and has been the #1 focus for one of the campaigns, hardly counts as a "wildcard" - meh.

By the way, worth noting that Montana has same-day registration and North Dakota has no voter registration.

I'm going to say Georgia, just because of early voting.  You could say Indiana as well, but IN has gotten quite a bit of a attention.

How does a state have no voter registration yet prevent fraud?  What stops someone from voting more than once?

The honor system.

Seriously.  It's horrible and I have no idea (other than having no especially competitive election) North Dakota gets away with it.  Municipalities have the right to maintain voter rolls for local elections, but only one town (a tiny one) does.

Same-day registration has its issues, but the ND system is just totally insane.

Indiana would be a pretty dramatic swing, particularly if Obama could pull out a win there.  Same with NC, especially considering an NC senator was on the ticket 4 yrs ago.  Wild pick to make a big swing:  South Dakota, maybe.
not a bad call there.

Arkansas. A McCain win but probably not by much more than 4 or 5%

apparently underestimated racism in Arkansas.

I thought the only person on the "Arkansas and West Virginia will be close" bandwagon was ChrisNJ.

WalterMitty predicted that West Virginia would have a larger swing to Obama than Iowa.
