These are the states that have been seriously contested this election season. I threw out Wisconsin, Montana and Minnesota.

If you're an Obama fan, it's probably a little difficult to actually believe it's as good as it's looking for him right now. If you favor McCain, it may not be as bad as it looks. Which state won't live up to the hype and be a bit of a surprise on election day? Which state is closer or further apart then polling is telling us? If things continue on their present course, chances are not an individual one of these states will decide this thing, but it might give the parties an idea of what to look for (or perhaps where to start.)

Probably Virginia.  I dont see how Obama has a lead that big in that state.

There was a poll there last week showing McCain with a slight lead. Also, Colorado hasn't moved as much in recent days as Ohio or Florida.

Florida. I fail to understand how Obama's performing so well as he has in Florida, despite having unfavourable demographics. I believe on Election Night, that McCain should encounter for Obama by defeating him by five to six points.

After seeing the most recent SUSA polls, I wish I put Minnesota on the list, now.

None of them. Obama is leading by 4-7 points nationally at the moment. He should be ahead in VA, OH, FL, CO and NV and close in MO, IN, and NC.

Colorado. If the voting rolls haven't been purged by 25 percent as RFK Jr. asserts, then Obama will win there along the lines of 51-46 with 3 percent for other.

I do not believe Obama is doing better in PA than in NJ.

Seriously, does anyone believe that?

I can believe that he is doing better given what we know about Jersey, but I can't imagine him actually doing better come November 4th. The undecideds in those two states are going in opposite directions.

     Nevada. Given the demographic trends of the state, I can't believe that Obama is ahead by any less than ~5%.

Ohio .. I don't see Obama being ahead atlest in terms of polling. Maybe some New young voters will make the difference on election night.
