I think whoever takes California is going to win.From what I can see of the current layout of things.
Though they've basically just said that the four west coast states always vote democrat and thus he's won for certain.

If CA went to McCain, along with Texas and Florida (which is about 51 to 49 for Obama at the moment)Then McCain would be on 206 as far as my mental arithmatic tells me.

Bless you ObamaFor you have delivered us from Palin.

They would get a state if they had an overall majority.But there will probably be a couple of "other" Governors or Senators. The US system is very different from the UK's.
Imagine the councils and Government being directly linked and such, if you know what I mean.

There is not a chancethat California will go for McCain.
A lot of the individual counties are very conservative, but they are completely outweighed by a huge population in the liberal cities.
