My guess as of now would be close election, no blow-out for either. Won't predict winner though.

Looks like a good year for politics as a spectator sport.

Let's look at some other elections:

1972 520:17 Nixon
1976 297:240 Carter
1980 489:49 Reagan
1984 525:13 Reagan
1988 426:111 Bush
1992 370:168 Clinton
1996 379:159 Clinton
2000 271:266 Bush (chosen by USSC)
2004 286:251 Bush

When they predict a blowout of 50 electoral college votes, they're talking about a win bigger than GWBush, on a par with Carter. They're talking about the smallest blowout in the last 30+ years.

But big enough they don't need the Supreme Court to decide it, or the voting machines in Ohio.

Too close to call right now.
