wanted to know the 269 play clearly and found this article. impressed by the forward thinking. especially with the lieberman purge. if this is a landslide, that guys gotta go. i don't mean to be partisan about an election that, hopefully, will redefine government in a less partisan way, but that guy has got some smarmy ways. i never wanted to get to a place where a 269er would be a consoling fact (sounds like i'm writing on a porn blog), but now that i'm here i've been comforted that a solid blue plus nevada would be an easy and barely controversial (considering what the popular vote could likely be) outcome. win tomorrow and 2012 is a done deal too. let's win tomorrow, and plan for 2016.

I hope you are right about Hillary being out. She would be a terrible choice for Obama.

Tim Kaine's unabashed support of a new coal-fired power plant in southwestern VA would be a liability for Obama. A clean, progressive energy policy with a strong emphasis on renewables is central to Obama's campaign, and selecting Kaine would hurt Obama's clean energy credibility on the trail.

I agree with most of your analysis, and even with your conclusions about the tie in the electoral vote. You should be aware that Obama wins the electoral tie NOT because the House is Democrat, but because the number of state delegations is larger for the Democrats. Presuming every representative votes for the candidate from his or her own party, the Democrats would win because they control more state delegations (and will likely do so for at least as many on January 6 2009, when the vote is taken), not because they have a simple majority in the total number of representatives.

The full name really does say everything that needs to be said

For an important compilation such as this one, I think it's only fair to use Jeff Sessions' full name -- Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III.

Obama will get to 270 votes because he will win swing states Colorado, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Nevada and possibly win Virginia (will be a big suprise), North Carolina, South Carolina , Ohio and Missouri though he will lose Florida and Texas.
