United States 2008 Presidential Election Battleground States

Appears to be solely composed of original research based on opinion polls, or states which are always battleground states (FL/MI/OH/PA). Thus was the reason why Swing state was tagged as containing original research several months ago. Sceptre (talk) 21:56, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree that this doesn't have a place on Wikipedia in its current form- I came across it a while ago and just didn't quite know what to do with it. J Milburn (talk) 22:01, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete this is not encyclopedic coverage... it's more suited to the various election-by-the-nanosecond sites that are all over the place. The term "battleground" for example is very POV. --Rividian (talk) 00:07, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a prima facie violation of NPOV as currently named. The encyclopedia ought not be in the position of declaring one group of electoral division of greater importance than another, and the title of this article seems to imply that. DickClarkMises (talk) 03:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
