I reckon Obama with 368 (or so) electoral votes. What say you?

Tennessee's House Bill 368 was passed on a 9-4 vote, with no testimony or discussion, at the House General Subcommittee of Education meeting on March 16, 2011.
Sheril pointed me to this data rich release of Science and Engineering Indicators. I was interested to see this table:
House Bill 368 (PDF), introduced in the Tennessee House of Representatives on February 9, 2011, is the sixth antievolution bill introduced in a state legislature in 2011, and the first introduced in Tennessee since 2007.
s a second subcommittee hearing on Tennessee's House Bill 368 approaches, the author of The Evolution Controversy in America and the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee are speaking out against the bill....
34 less than Bradman (and Taylor), eh?
This is politics, so less is more. OKay?
*ahem*
I'm going to be cautiously optimistic. If I weren't worried about manipulation of voting machines in key states I would be up where you are, but instead I will call Obama with 295 votes. Just enough to win.
What say I? I say, Neil Kinnock, 1992. I wish I didn't.
I'd say that's audaciously hopeful.
Remarkably, it's possible. Here, this guy has been the most accurate predictor I know for the past several elections: http://www.cookpolitical.com/
I'm afraid of being too optimistic. I certainly want an Obama win, and it's certainly possible that it will happen, but I have this dread that Republican dirty tricks will win out.
Not bad. I'll say 352, +9 in the senate, +28 in the house.
350. Is there a prize for being right (besides the obvious one)?
I'll predict a McCain hat trick with 279 electoral votes.
Actually, now that I've had time to think, 350 is too many. I'm changing my vote to 315. Vote early, vote often.
345-Obama.

367. I was one off. So there!
John, How do you come up with 367? According to CNN, two states are undecided. The total could be 349, 360, 364 or 374.
I cannot do arithmetic to save my life. I should have said "364, three off, so there!" He's got NC, and won't get MO. I reckon three off isn't bad when people like Susan, who is an informed Democrat on the ground, said 315. Mike got even less. I win the milkshake.
MO is still up for grabs per AP. That could make it 375, not my math error of 374. This could take weeks to decide. But I doubt the Supreme Court will intervene to settle this milkshake.
