I'm going to be cautiously optimistic. If I weren't worried about manipulation of voting machines in key states I would be up where you are, but instead I will call Obama with 295 votes. Just enough to win.
I'm afraid of being too optimistic. I certainly want an Obama win, and it's certainly possible that it will happen, but I have this dread that Republican dirty tricks will win out.
I cannot do arithmetic to save my life. I should have said "364, three off, so there!" He's got NC, and won't get MO. I reckon three off isn't bad when people like Susan, who is an informed Democrat on the ground, said 315. Mike got even less. I win the milkshake.
MO is still up for grabs per AP. That could make it 375, not my math error of 374. This could take weeks to decide. But I doubt the Supreme Court will intervene to settle this milkshake.
34 less than Bradman (and Taylor), eh?
This is politics, so less is more. OKay?
*ahem*

What say I? I say, Neil Kinnock, 1992. I wish I didn't.
I'd say that's audaciously hopeful.
Remarkably, it's possible. Here, this guy has been the most accurate predictor I know for the past several elections: http://www.cookpolitical.com/

Not bad. I'll say 352, +9 in the senate, +28 in the house.
350. Is there a prize for being right (besides the obvious one)?
I'll predict a McCain hat trick with 279 electoral votes.
Actually, now that I've had time to think, 350 is too many. I'm changing my vote to 315. Vote early, vote often.
345-Obama.

Dem 335
367. I was one off. So there!
John, How do you come up with 367? According to CNN, two states are undecided. The total could be 349, 360, 364 or 374.
