Your total must add up to 538. 270 to win. Breakdown of amounts for each state and current polls can be found at [www.electoral-vote.com](http://www.electoral-vote.com). I say Obama 367, McCain 171. The electoral-vote map holds true except Obama and McCain split MO and IN, and ND and MT. Extremely optimistic for the democrats but certainly possible. Anyone gets it right, you get a popsicle. Anyone says Ron Paul 538, Obama 0, McCain 0, you get forced to barter for your goods and services. ---

I should’ve made it a public poll and had an option for misc. nonsense. (269-269 tie, election decided by supreme court again, Saddam launches WMD’s posthumously and messes with election, etc.) ---

Fox News reporting Obama’s grandmother has died. CNN reporting Obama’s grandmother has died and they are unable to confirm Palin’s whereabouts at the time of death. ---
