I'm guessing Obama will barely win NC and MO.

Depends on turnout, I guess. I really can't predict either, but my gut says McCain wins both by a razor thin margin.

I agree.  If you believe in swing-state momentum and that all the dominoes fall in the direction, blah blah, then Obama should sweep North Carolina, Missouri and Indiana - should do anyway.  My prediction:

NORTH CAROLINA -
49% (D) Obama
48% (R) McCain
  2% Others


MISSOURI -
50% (D) Obama
47% (R) McCain
  2% Others


INDIANA -
49% (D) Obama
48% (R) McCain
  2% Others


Something like that anyway.

THe problem for Obama in NC is that over half of the state's registered black voters have already voted, and right now he probably has a small lead. He'll need to have convinced a good amount of white voters to switch their minds, or hope many Republicans stay home.

I'd give him a slight advantage in NC, but the slightest imaginable. MO, I have no idea.

No you are very much wrong, Right now Obama has a huge lead in early voting.

Yes. This is true. I just look and see that NC historically underpolls for Republicans, so I will say NC is McCain's by 3 right now. Bush was leading by 8 and won by 13, Clinton led here in 92 and lost to Bush. So it's not a done deal in NC.

How big? 250k votes? 500k?
