Here are the contested states (and their 139 electoral votes) that will decide the presidential election:Florida (of course!) - 27 (went Rep in 2004)
Pennsylvania - 21 (2004: Dem)
Ohio - 20 (2004: Rep)
Michigan - 17 (2004: Dem)
Virginia - 13 (2004: Rep)
Missouri - 11 (2004: Rep)
Colorado - 9 (2004: Rep)
Iowa - 7 (2004: Rep)
Nevada - 5 (2004: Rep)
New Mexico - 5 (2004: Rep)
New Hampshire - 4 (2004: Dem)
If 2008 is a repeat of 2004 in these states, McCain will win 286-252.
Obama will probably not have a hard time holding on to PA & MI, so here is my not-so-bold prediction: both candidates will be spending significant time in the next four months - McCain especially - in FL, OH, VA & MO. Those are really the only states that matter.

Good job...
One question...is it worth the trade-off to live in a SOLID blue state if that means we don't matter in the general election?
Second question...without Ron Paul in the mix, who do you support now?
