This electoral college map still shows Obama up by eight points but it may not be accurate anymore.

Florida is a toss up and Politico had it credited to McCain. No way can McCain win if he loses Florida...
New Mexico had a huge flip (about ten percentage points over Palin) and is now McCain.
New Hampshire is a toss up now although Politico gave it to Obama earlier.
Ohio was given to McCain by Politico. Rasmussen now shows McCain to be a clear leader by 7 points.
Pennsylvania is credited to Obama but it is becoming a toss up. No way can Obama win if he loses Florida and Pennsylvania.
Virginia is close, two percentage points towards McCain. Just as close as Pennsylvania...
Nevada is close, 3 points towards McCain.


Anyway, that list above is the real list of close votes. Those are the ones I would call the Swing states as opposed to the list of Politico.



See Rasmussen:
