9. Yep. I had the same 378 as him, and missed Missouri and Montana, too.

He's been solid the whole season.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. wow! well, both of those were amazingly close. I personally thought

we might lose OH - especially after they said it was static as far as population and new
growth of voters - the campaign thought they had much better chances in FL.

Kudos to you!
