2008 Presidential Election Prediction Thread

With three weeks to go until the election, it could be fun to see who can best predict the outcome of this election. No prize other than bragging rights. So, give your best guess to the following:

Who will win the election?
What will the electoral split be (total 53?
In percentage points, what will be the spread in popular vote?
What will be the combined popular vote of all candidates (in other words, how many people will vote)?
What state will put the winner over the top when the networks make their calls?

Here are my predictions:
Obama will win
The electoral split will be 348/190
He'll win the popular vote by 5%
There will be 153 million votes cast
The networks will declare Obama President-elect after he wins Colorado
