Frelman, thank you. So far I seem to be pretty close. Like most voters, I am wound tight and just wanting Tuesday to be today and the election to be over.

McCain 150
7.2% margin
Posted by: bobdoremus | November 1, 2008 7:01 PM
McCain: 283
Obama: 255
Margin: 6%
Most of those who claim to be "undecided " are going to vote for Mac and Cheeswecake.

My 2 cents:
Electoral:
Obama 311
McCain 227
Popular:
Obama: 52.5% +6.3
McCain: 46.2%
Others: 1.3%
Obama gets OH, PA, VA, but no MO, FL or IN.
