Holy crap! pollster.com calling 320 EV for Obama
Has it been like this for long? Think I forgot to check it yesterday, but last I saw they were calling CO, FL, and OH tossups, now they're calling all for Barack.

2. good site
check this out. I am just waiting for NC to turn blue. Florida's been turning more and more blue the last 2 weeks.

3. I normally try to check that one and pollster.com every day.
electoral-vote.com flips states with even a 1% lead. Pollster not only waits for a 5% difference, I think their formulas are often more cautious, too much sometimes.

And I'm really surpised they flipped FL and OH before VA.

5. You may be very close.
Are you giving him 2 in Nebraska? I don't doubt that he'll take Omaha, but the 1st district would surprise the hell out of me.

VA's pretty much a done deal. NC looks really good, IN looks better every day, as does NV. MO...boy, what an upset that would be.

6. That was a good catch, thanks.
I hadn't meant to give Obama more than 1 EV (Omaha) in Nebraska. Here is the corrected map:
