Road to 270: Obama leads, but 8 states hold keys

Wow! Unless something dramatic happens this looks like a race to the very end. The economic situation is big, very big. The debates will be important. And if anything happens related to national security (terrorist acts, etc.), that could also affect things.

Also, as I've stated before, I think the racism issue is very real, more so in certain states, and I think if McCain is within a couple of points going into election day he has a good shot of winning.

"The candidates' face-to-face debates, scheduled to begin Friday night, will provide the next big chance to change the electoral lineup, especially in the eight states that are still considered tossups: perennial powerhouses Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, Western targets Colorado and Nevada, Wisconsin in the Midwest, traditional swing state New Hampshire and newly competitive Virginia."
