Obama looking good in June

For the best in electoral projections look no further than FiveThirtyEight.com or 538. 538 is the total number of electoral votes available in the upcoming general election. Nate Silver, a 30 year old stat guru, has already outperformed all of your major polling services during the primary season. Nate is usually applying his arithmetic skills to the never ending world of baseball statistics, but has found a new gig in political forecasting, and has proven to be damn good at it. His website http://www.baseballprospectus.com/ is a standard bearer for baseball websites.


538's current projections which are updated all day, everyday, currently show a rosy forecast for Senator Obama.
