What will be a factor is the campaigns themselves. Obama has a lot of money to spend, which is excellent. We will really have to wait and see whether the gap widens or narrows, though.

I imagine once the campaign proper begins the gap may widen, or am I off the mark? re the closeness of the Polls- is the fact neither party has actually formally endorsed their candidtae a fcator?

How many electoral votes will Obama get, and in what states will he get them? Chris B,

Given those similarities, what is your prediction here? How many electoral votes will Obama get, and in what states will he get them?

It wasn't till afterwords that I found out how they ran their campaign that I realised Hillary was lucky to get close. In particular their Internet campaign. Having quite an understanding of the Internet I was suitably impressed. By the way David I was a Hillary supporter too.

You just have to multiply the issues by ten. Then I had a lot of trouble convincing people, in the upper house I was out by 1 seat. All the previous by elections gave the indications. The polls gave a bit of an indication, but they were more accurate towards the end. The similarities between Steve Brack’s 2nd election and this one are very close.

David: there's a new rumour on the VP every day, it never stops. I would have been happy with Hillary as the nominee, I hope Obama gives her a prominent job in an administration, she's got a lot to offer!
