Post-Obamafomercial 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 Wed. Oct. 29, following Obama's paid 30-minute national infomercial. This is the lowest he's been at in days, although 98% still isn't bad. He's down a couple of points in the national contract as well.

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.
