Predictor Swing States for the Presidential Election 2008

Here are the predictor states to watch tonight (in order of poll station closing time):

-Virginia, Indiana and Georgia close. If Barack Obama takes two of these, it could be all over.

-Ohio; this swing state has voted with the winner in every presidential election since 1948 except for 1960, and polls indicate the state is on a knife edge. North Carolina, normally a Red state has been targeted by the Obama campaign, also closes.

-Pennsylvania and New Hampshire are key swing states to watch next, as is Missouri, which has voted with the winner of each presidential election since 1904, with the exception of 1956, and Mississippi (if Obama wins here, it's likely to be a massacre). Florida also closes – if McCain loses these key 27 electoral college votes, it could be an almost total loss for the Republican candidate.

-Colorado and New Mexico are key Red states that Obama has been targeting. If the race is close up to this point, Obama needs these states. Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, traditional Blue states, also close now. McCain must win these if he has failed to secure Pennsylvania.

Watch these states and you will have a very good idea of who will win the race... and folks, lets hope for a landslide!
