Electoral-vote.com....Holy Crap!
It's the first thing i check every morning in addition to DU :-) Imagine my surprise this morning when I saw NH solid blue, Pennsylvania, Virginia as light blue, and Missouri as barely blue!

Right now Obama 349 McCratchety 174 and NC is still a tie!

4. Interesting website
However, I do see one glaring error. They have Sam Brownback of Kansas listed as a Democrat. Couldn't be further from the truth. Brownback is a right wing nutjob.

9. Ev.com is usually relatively objective
But afaik the owner is a conservative leaning. And has made that clear.

It does shine through sometimes.

fivethirtyeight.com is much better. Not because the people running it are clearly in favour of Obama, but because their methodology is much better and not a snapshot on the day.

EV.com is what does it look like today.
538.com is what they think it will look like on Nov. 4th. Taking older polls and demographic data into account. They were pretty accurate in the primaries.

5. I have feeling the only thing Mcnut/Plain are accomplishing is
to solidify their base and push independents and dems over the top

6. Texas has gone pink also. Lot of new Democratic voters down there. Could get interesting if
people think an Obama landslide is coming enough pubbies might get discouraged and stay home and Obama could get Texas also.
