My Predictions

Which state will be the last to be called to put the winner of the US election over the top?

Settled as a state not listed, more than one, or none

The closing of polls on the west coast when California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada were all called put Obama over the top.

Background:

We had the late nights for the election in 2000 waiting on Florida, 2004 waiting on Ohio, which state will we be waiting on late at night in 2008?

Category Editor Clarification
This market will settle based on how the election results roll in. If one of the listed states put a candidate over the necessary amount then it will be settled for that state. The last option covers all the other possibilities.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
