I even think Chuck Todd said that over 6 and the EV count gets out of control!

2. Define landslide
Many projections have Obama over 350 EV.

3. I don't get it either
For the past 2 days, pollsters have been moving states from "Tilting Obama" to "Tossup" and from "Strong Obama" to "Tilting Obama" while his national numbers have shot up.


In 36 hours, we'll know who's been telling the truth.

7. the bandwagon effect hopefully will be in effect tomorrow.
meaning, repubs will stay home, and Obama will win some unexpected states.

States such as: Georgia, Arizona, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, and maybe even Alaska. If things are really going well low white turn-out and monstrous black turn-out could turn South Carolina, Louisiana, and Mississippi blue.
