I expect every other state to go according to CW, although huge turnout might make a few others very close. Kerry looks good to hold every single Gore state, with the possible exception of New Mexico. With 80% of undecideds (a little les than normal), Kerry wins 311-227. With undecideds split equally, Bush wins 296-242. Also, if I were to use RV polls instead of LV polls where possible, things would look much better for Kerry almost everywhere (leading in Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin, much closer in Florida), which once again shows how important turnout will be. The election is on a knife's edge of tight polls, GOTV and the Incumbent Rule. Kerry has the slight advantage.
