Am I missing somthing? Shouldn't this be 273 Obama, 265 McBush?

1. It probably is but where did you get the right numbers?

[skipos]

3. Kerry got 252 evs, + 5 NM, + 7 IA, +9 CO = 273

I think. Sometimes I suck at math.

2. I've been looking at that map for 20 minutes thinking the same thing.

4. be patient

Virginia is already polling for Obama.

Ohio and Indidana are on the edge with the Palin bounce receding they will be in the Obama camp soon.


West Virginia is now down to a 5 point margin.


Obama is spending 39 million in Florida and has identified 1.5 million young and AA voters that were registered but did not vote.


Florida is going to be a alley fight and McCain has to win every single one of these to win.


In one week it will be reversed. Have any spare money but Obama and make some money.

7. no, the point is that their map has Obama up

but the displayed totals are different than the map totals

[Tunkamerica]

5. according to their map obama has 273

when i first loaded it both the totals were displayed as NaN so perhaps there's a bug in the system.

9. thanks, i'd actually never been to intrade before.

10. I added up the blue states and it came out

273 Obama (I didn't count McCains)

12. Using RCP average data, Obama always lead 273-265 after the RNC

Made a map using their data last week and came to the same result that Intrade shows today.

RCP also has Obama up in Virgina now.

But Obama's lead in Virginia, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Michigan is very close.

11. That is some mighty bad math going on there. We have have Iowa, Colorado and New Mexico....

plus don't lose any states - we should be ahead!
