Gaddie: Missouri, Virginia 'The Whole Ballgame'

Keith Gaddie, poltitical historian, pollster, author, pundit and University of Oklahoma political science professor, believes today that just two states are "the whole ballgame" in the 2008 presidential race.

Gaddie, analyzing the Electoral College math in a post on the Democrats of Oklahoma Community Forum, www.demookie.com, reviews all the "solid" and "leaning" states for John McCain and Barack Obama and concludes, "That leaves Missouri (11) and Virginia (13). Bush won both handily, now they are tossups. McCain needs them both, Obama needs just one. At the end of the day, those two states are the whole ballgame."
