Daily now, we're being bombarded by the results of various polls conducted nationwide about the election.
Ignore them. Because, as most of you Americans should remember, we don't elect the President, the
Electoral College does. We vote for the electors. In all but Maine and Nebraska these votes (one for each member of Congress [both houses]) are winner take all. Say Obama takes California by the slimmest of margins, 51/49. He still gets all 55 votes in the college. So the important thing is how the
states are feeling.
Which is where
electoral-vote.com comes in. Daily updates on how the states are leaning.
270 are needed to win.
