My two favorite polling sites these days are FiveThirtyEight and Pollster, but I do like how Real Clear Politics allows you to create your own path to electoral college victory. For fun, I set the map at “No Toss Up States” and then tried to see how John McCain might reach the elusive mark of 270 votes.
One path that sets him squarely at 270: swinging Nevada, New Mexico, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. McCain says he thinks he’ll win a week from Tuesday. All I can say: good luck, senator.
