Apologies in advance for the gratuitously horse-racy coverage today, but honestly, unless the rumored Osama Bin Laden sex tape finally leaks, not a whole lot is going to change between now and Tuesday. And if you’re anything like me (pray that you’re not), you’re probably rifling through polling data like a junkie searching for needles.

Anyway, after since Charlie and I kicked off our friendly wager, Jamelle and Matt, friends of the blog and members of the clubhouse, have put up their own maps. My take on their predictions after the jump.

Interestingly, my map differs very little from either Matt’s or Jamelle. Matt’s looks identical to mine except for North Dakota, which he gives to McCain, and Jamelle gave ND to McCain and Missouri to Obama.

So it’s pretty clear that both Charlie and I were sort of going out on a limb there by saying that North Dakota was going to be a pickup for Obama, but I stand by it. In fact, I’d still argue that it’s likelier than Missouri.

Why? Well, here’s Missouri’s trendline:

Looks good for Obama, but it’s still very tight. Both states are really tight. But look at North Dakota:

See the difference? In the Missouri trendline, Obama gradually chipped into McCain’s lead to get a narrow victory. But for whatever reason, in North Dakota, McCain’s lead plunged. The state hasn’t been polled much recently, but I’m betting that’s the sort of gap that’s more likely to keep widening than the gradual slant that the Missouri trendline is showing.

But ultimately, with its three electoral votes, North Dakota isn’t much of a swing state. So the fact that I even dedicated a full post to it mostly says that we’re in the OCD stage of the election.
