Without a doubt it's going to be a Obama vs McCain ticket.

Here's the way I see it:

Colorado-Obama killed Clinton in the Caucus here. McCain also did not win here (losing to Romney) despite the fact it borders his homestate.

Florida-Depending how the delegates are seated it's hard to tell for the Dems, though best guess if things stay the same, Obama got less than 40% of the vote. McCain took this state in a fairly easy victory.

Iowa-Obama's 1st victory! Seeing Clinton lose to him AND Edwards was a serious early blow to her in the very begining. With Huckabee winning for the Repubs, it questionable if McCain would win in this always close state

Missouri-Evenly split between delegates for the Dems and a winner take all for the Repubs. This state could go either way. Both primaries were INSANELY close. I imagine in the general election it will be again!

Nevada-A narrow margin in the Caucus, yet while Clinton won, Obama got more delegates. With Romney taking this state, unknown how well McCain will fare here.

New Mexico-While I'm really hoping Obama takes Richardson as his running mate, even if that doesn't happen, he lost to Clinton by a narrow margin, it's been known to swing to the Dems in the past 20 years (with the exception of 2004) even though McCain took this state over Romney and Huckabee, I expect it it once again go Dem and like I said, if Obama choses Richardson as V.P. it's a given!

Ohio-Though I expect Obama to take it, I don't it'll be as easily I as I once did. Though, McCain's stance on the war and even less understanding of the economy, I don't think flies well with many here.

Pennsylvania-Same case as Ohio, yet if I remember correctly, Obama did somewhat better there than OH, especially with Sen. Bob Casey's endorsement of him.

West Virginia-Despite Clinton taking this state in a landslide, Sen. Rob Byrd's endorsement of Obama and the fact Huckabee beat out McCain here, I think is helpful, as well as before 2000 it's high tendency to swing to the Dems.

These I think will be the major battle ground states and will decide the fate of our country for the next 4 years (dun dun dun!)
