Post-Debate: Thursday Morning's Odds

Here are McCain and Obama's chances (according to Intrade's state-by-state numbers) of getting various minimum numbers of electoral votes for Thu. Oct. 16, following the last debate. McCain's numbers have further deteriorated slightly, though not nearly as much as they have on the national contracts, which currently give McCain a 15.3% chance of winning. Then again, there isn't really room for them to.

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.
