Predicting the Winner of the 2008 Pres. Election

So, even with a few glitches at the polls today - it seems that voters are still getting out there and making their votes count.

A coworker showed me this tracker and I think it is a pretty cool way to see all of the predictions (looks like everyone is leaning toward obama right now)
