The final day before we find out who the 44th President of the USA will be and to be honest it doesn't seem to be much of a close contest from what i can make out. Although some official polls are still predicting a rather close race at 50 something over 40 something in Obama's favor the odds appear to be stacked way against McCain. A Look at the electoral college system would suggest that McCain would have to win every undecided state in the contest along with taking away at least a couple of states that are predicted to vote for Obama. I just can't see this happening. Interestingly enough the Economist have been carrying out a world electoral college voting contest where every country is allocated votes along the same system used in the USA. Obama has completely swept the board with 9,115 votes compared to McCain's 203. Admittedly this shows no indication as to how America will vote, but still McCain needs to do something pretty radical to turn this one around and he simply hasn't done it. Obama is surely going to win by a comfortable margin.
