FL, VA, and MO from McCain to Obama and NH, MI, OH, IN, and PA from Obama to McCain. If all went Obama it would be 360 to 178 Obama If all go McCain it would be 302 to 236 McCain. I think there is still alot that can change so I think it is definitely not over. Based on those numbers there are still 8 states I think could posibly switch.
