2008 Presidential Election update


Welcome to the party West Virgina and North Dakota! More than one poll in West Virginia and North Dakota has shown the race very close, either leaning McCain or tied. This is very surprising since both states voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 by large margins.
In fact, the Obama campaign has started running ads big time in West Virginia and may do so in North Dakota.

Here is the new assesment of "battleground" states.

Strongly leaning Obama: Virginia, Colorado
Leaning Obama or tie: Nevada, Ohio, Florida, Missouri
Strongly leaning McCain: Indiana, North Dakota
Leaning McCain or tie: West Virginia, North Carolina
