North Dakota (+1.8) — 3 EV
South Dakota (+8.0) — 3 EV
Alaska (+15.3) — 3 EV

TOTAL — John McCain 185 EV


I think the thing to note here is that, based on Mr. Morrow's analysis, it looks like only 42 of Obama's electoral votes are in play.

So even if O's support went soft between now and Tuesday it's hard to see him at less than 300 electoral votes even if he lost, say, a still-somehow-suppressed Ohio.

And the magic number to win?

Why, it's 270.

So.....

I'm not sure, but I think, especially if I really strain my ears real hard, that I can hear the lady with the fabulous pipes starting to sing.

OK?

Greg's place is DemocraticSpace - and it's always the place to go for good, hardnosed analysis served up smart, without snark. Which, of course, is exactly how David Frum pretends he wants it (ha!).
Update: All of George Snuffalopagas' Sunday Talking Heads completely agree.
