Wednesday Morning's Odds

Edit: I accidentally posted the result of a new, faster, more accurate script that unfortunately forgot to calculate the probs for McCain. Oops.

Here are McCain and Obama's chances (according to Intrade's state-by-state numbers) of getting various minimum numbers of electoral votes for Wed. Sep. 24.

Each candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes to win outright. But a tie at 269 isn't impossible...
