September 13, 200817 yr 270 votes needed to win the election, Obama has 238, McCain has 227. 73 are up for grabs. See on who's side your state falls on, or not. Link: http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/presiden...states/map.html
September 13, 200817 yr Iowa usually leans Democrat. I grew up in the western side of the state and it's almost entirely Republican, but the central and eastern side are where most of the people live and cities like Iowa City are heavily Democratic. I'm pretty positive Obama will win Iowa.
September 13, 200817 yr who really cares at this point I say there should be no poles and stuff until election day. Or like the UK's system everything is packed into 3 months i think it is? this is drawing out way to long. We all no either candidate will be able to accomplish nothing. The Prez is a Flagship. We need to reform Congress to get anything done. get all the old guys out of congress and vote the underdogs and give them a chance to shake things up.
September 13, 200817 yr How the hell anyone votes Republican with the shape our nation is in is beyond me. Hopefully Ohio will push it over for Obama. Chris

Sadly, I know 2 Ohio residents that are going to vote Republican--my Mom and brother (I don't talk politics with them at all--makes me too angry).
September 13, 200817 yr I can't say who's gonna win this thing but I'll agree with Cap, all of our elections here and in the UK are slotted into the time period of 2months. It's gonna be close.
September 13, 200817 yr looks like my vote won't count for anything, as I'm in a "solidly republican" state. I'll vote anyway, but whatever...
