Analysis

Probably the only unusual thing about this prediction relative to the others on the site is that I see NM/CO going to Obama even though NH switches to McCain. This is based on two hunches:

(1) NH is a state where it seemed like Obama dramatically underperformed polls in the primaries.

(2) Just a sort of vague feeling that if any state is a "fit" for McCain to a much greater extent then it was be for Bush, that state would be New Hampshire. (Then again, I'd put Virginia a close 2nd on this list, and the recent polling results there suggest I may have no idea what I'm talking about there).
