2008 Election - How It's Looking

Intrade has 2008 presidential election futures markets for each state (and D.C.) It's early, but I took whichever candidate is currently ahead in each of Intrade's state markets and plugged the "winner" into an electoral college calculator.

A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the election.

Using my aforementioned method, here's the total I came up with.

McCain: 232 electoral votes
Obama: 306 electoral votes
