      My prediction is that there will be at least one surprise.

      If there are no surprises, that will be a surprise.

      I’ll go with the list except 31/32 seats in the House. The surprise will be any close race will go to the repug until the recount. The best part is Stevens going to the Real Big House and not back to the club house.

      I’m thinking 349 EV for Obama, although he has a chance of taking several states above that.

    4. It’s going to be a huge blowout, if Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location are any kind of indication.

    5. I’m betting Obama gets at least 375 EVs. We’ll see how it goes tonight.

    6. Fwiw, if Missouri had gone to Obama (lost by about 6,000 votes), he’d have 375 EVs counting North Carolina (which he presumably did win). So the final tally should be 364 EV.
