Obama 275 McCain 250 Ties 13 (270 EV’s needed to win Presidency)

Today’s Electoral College Map, one week prior to the Democrat National Convention in Denver, shows a close race with John McCain gaining in Ohio and other key battleground states.

From Real Clear Politics:

Colorado 45.3 45.8 McCain +0.5

Virginia 45.7 46.3 McCain +0.6

Missouri 45.0 47.3 McCain +2.3

Michigan 46.0 42.8 Obama +3.2

Ohio 45.3 46.8 McCain +1.5

Florida 45.4 47.2 McCain +1.8

Flap did not expect a close race in this time in the Presidential cycle and undoubtedly Obama will receive a bump in the polls with the Democrat Convention starting in Denver next Monday.

Next, will come the naming of Vice Presidential choices.

With Virginia in the toss-up category, will Barack Obama turn to Tim Kaine, the Virginia Governor as Vice President?
