I have a hard time believing Virginia, Indiana, and North Carolina will go blue. I think that's far fetched. I also doubt Florida will go that way, either. However, Nevada and Ohio are tossups.
In any case, it's uphill for McCain.

Just so people know, Obama arrived in Hawaii for a very brief visit (he originally said he was going to be there over the weekend) to visit his ailing grandmother:
Obama touched down at Honolulu International Airport in his private campaign plane about 7:15 p.m. and went straight to his grandmother's Makiki apartment, where they met privately for about an hour.
His motorcade then took him to the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, where he is staying. Obama is scheduled to leave Honolulu about 5 p.m. today and resume his campaign tomorrow in the battleground state of Nevada.
The Hawai'i-born Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, did not make a statement to reporters about the visit or about his plans in Honolulu.
The detour during the critical last two weeks of the campaign was so Obama could see his beloved grandmother "Toot," who has been in poor health after she fell and broke her hip earlier this month.
Dunham, who turns 86 on Sunday, suffers from osteoporosis that has limited her mobility and largely confined her to her 10th-floor, two-bedroom apartment where she helped raise Obama.
He's supposed to be here in Reno tomorrow.
