Electoral Math


10/11: Little is changed today after polls in 6 states confirm earlier findings. Only 3 and 1/2 weeks away from the election and Sen. McCain finds himself in a lot of trouble. His campaign still can't seem t find a clear message and the tone is getting nastier (despite his efforts to stop it). He needs to have about a 5 point seing in the national polls to have a chance. In order to win the election, he needs to win the 3 toss-up states(North Carolina, Indiana and West Virginia). He is currently ahead by the smallest of margins in all 3 of these states. He also needs to win all the barely Obama states. Ohio (Obama+3.51%), Florida (Obama+3.55%) , Colorado (Obama+4.24%), Nevada (Obama+4.37%) and Virginia (Obama+5.14%). The math for Sen. McCain is looking very bleak.
