All discussing who you WANT to win aside. Anyone playing these in-game election odds at Matchbook. I'm HUGE on McCain at anywhere from 1/7 to 1/9, and grabbed a big piece of Hillary when she went up to +155 after Obama took Georgia right off the bat (she went as high as +165 that I saw). These swings are tremendous, and there is a boatload of money to be made in the future.
Anyone with half a brain knew Obama would cruise in Georgia, but how his odds went from +120 all the way to -175 based on one state's early returns is insane. I remember this sort of fluctuation on a state by state basis in the '04 general election as well. Similar to what they say about sports teams, it appears you're never as good or as bad as your last state in politics as well..gif "Poker(1)")
