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. Oct. 29. Obama's national contract is currently sitting at an 87.8% chance for him to win.

Each candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes to win outright, and a tie at
269 that throws it into the House isn't impossible.
