As tremayne has noted, Obama has clearly opened a significant lead in the tracking polls, which can only translate into good news on the ground in specific states. But that got me wondering about what we could reasonably expect to see in terms of the overall geography. Rather than an exhaustive look, like I've done before, the ongoing financial/political crisis hasn't left a lot of time for me, so I decided to look at a few key states, which I've collected in the following table. Ohio represents the ultimate traditional swing state and Virginia is the key new swing states in the South, while North Carolina is a "pinch me" swing states in the South, and Missouri is a "pinch me" swing state in the Midwest.
