This is why I predicted Obama takes GA:

2008 projection obama 305 mccain 233

I explain my reasoning in detail, so stop by City of Brass and take a look to see where you might agree/disagree. In summary, though -

I am going out on a limb calling IN (11 EV), GA (15 EV) and MT (3 EV) for Obama. Those states add up to 29 EVs, so Obama could lose all of them and still win by 276 - 262. Likewise, I am being very pessimistic in calling PA (21 EV), OH (20) and FL (27) for McCain - losing any one of those would be catastrophic for McCain. So, my projection is actually about as favorable as you can get for McCain, albeit some speculative victories which Obama can afford to lose.

My most likely alternate projection, where Obama wins PA and loses GA and IN, is Obama 300, McCain 238. My best-case scenario for Obama is where he takes PA, GA, IN, and MT and wins without OH and FL, 326 - 212. There is no best-case scenario for McCain today.
