There are a lot more than eight, too; according to CNN's count as of
today, the too-close-to-call states are AR,FL,IA,MI,MN,MO,NH,NM,OR,PA,
TN,WA,WI, and WV, accounting for 154 electoral votes.
And the Republicans plan to start running pro-Nader ads on Monday in
OR,WA,and WI, according to an AP article this afternoon. You're deluding
yourself if you think it doesn't make a difference in those cases.
