I think it’s pretty clear that Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, and Nevada have come off the ‘battleground’ board.
The new battlegrounds are Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan.
That’s real bad new for Barack.

0bama’s only sliver of hope now rests in New Hampshire, Colorado, Iowa, and New Mexico. Indiana has 0bama not too far behind, though he’s never once been ahead there and it will be difficult for him to overcome the gap facing such a strong headwind. Had he chosen Evan Bayh, he may have been able to take it.

Further bad news for him is that states like Maine, Oregon, and Washington are approaching toss-up. Things are slowly lining up for a possible McCain landslide.

Further bad news for him is that states like Maine, Maine can actually split one of it's electoral votes away. Ross Perot came close to doing it in '92 and it's the more conservative part of the state. My vote might actually matter this time!!
