1. None because it won't come down to just one state.

11. Agree.
It won't be the case that you can pick one or two states that were close and say they made the difference.

The wave of blue we are about to see will be more glorious than anybody can imagine.

29. Miscommunication
I meant to say, no states will decide for Republicans. Virginia will definitely go Obama

7. I say PA because for over a week now Obama has held a lead on the polls
Maybe longer (my brain only retains about a weeks worth of memories at this point) yet McCain* keeps saying they're going to pull it out. Therefore, since there was voter suppression in FL and OH, my guess is there will be some sort of reported shenanigans from PA (a state that doesn't allow early voting, therefore easier to "game").

10. Pennsylvania
They laid the groundwork to steal this state four years ago, and now it's their only shot at victory.

Something smells bad.

14. Pennsylvania or Virginia -- if they can manage it.
They'll never stop trying to steal and I'm not going to stop watching until Obama has his hand on that bible.

13. the state of denial

15. The only path to victory for McCrap is if he were to win PA.

I don't think it will happen, however they stole FL and OH. McCrap is just too confident that he is going to win PA.

19. According to the play-along map at 270towin.com ...
... Old fart would have to also win every swing state (except either ND or MT) plus PA in order to win.

21. Virginia and NC wins will set the tone very early.
California, Oregon and Washington state will drive a stake right into the heart of the GOP just after 11pm eastern time.

27. Indiana...
polls in Indiana close at 7:00 pm. If the media calls Indiana for Obama, then it's over. He wins & McGrumpy loses.

28. Virginia will the show stopper. A win there will make an early curtain on the night's entertainment.
