Not going to happen. I can buy a 272 to 278 Obama victory but not a landslide win. Have these people looked at the polling data over the weekend?

Agree. I think Obama either wins by a surprisingly (to these people) narrow margin in the EC or not at all. Indiana is the first battleground state to close on Tuesday - if that looks good early, you can throw the Obama landslide in the trash.

That is what his statement was exactly. South Dakota I believe.

I opened an EC map and that's what I came up with to get 378. For the record, I would bet every cent I have in the bank that McCain will carry South Dakota.

I have a scenario posted in a neat and colorful map above of a EC tie at 269. My genuine nightmare scenario here would be the chaos that would result from this, esp. if there are any kind of movement toward the GOP in the House races where a tie could give McCain the presidency.

(Far fetched though it may be, it's better than Will's prognostication.)
