Both have been considered locks for Obama up until the past week or two. Just letting everyone know so when all the major television news organizations are like "I can't believe Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Colorado are this close" (even if Obama does win each state)
Tuesday is going to be very interesting.
Here are pretty much the toss up states you're going to need to watch for come Tuesday
Only 11 states, all the tan states.

A pumped up John McCain hoped for a stunning comeback victory today, as he campaigned hard through Pennsylvania and Virginia and vowed to upset frontrunning Barack Obama.
McCain insisted that despite polls showing the Democratic nominee with a lead, he could still pull out a come-from-behind win on Tuesday - and his supporters ate it up.
"When I see this momentum, when I see this great support, I know we're going to win," McCain told a jubilant rally in Pennsylvania.
McCain mercilessly mocked Obama for acting like he has the contest in the bag.
"He's measuring the drapes. He's settled on a chief of staff. He gave his first address to the nation before the election," McCain said.
"By the way, my first executive order will be no one will be able to have an infomercial that delays the World Series . . . When the Phillies are playing," he added at a Pennsylvania rally.
"My friends, we've been a few points down but we're coming back."
McCain went on today in a rally at Wallingford, Penn.
"Let me give you some straight talk about the race today with just two days left. We're only a couple of points behind in Pennsylvania," he said.
"The pundits have written us off - just like they've done before," he said to boos.
"But my friends, the mac is back!," McCain said to thunderous applause.
McCain went after Obama hard on his attack lines of the past week, accusing the Illinois senator of trying to "spread the wealth" around - the now-famous line he uttered with Joe the Plumber in a driveway in Ohio weeks ago.
"Take the money from one group of Americans and give it to the other one," McCain said, adding that it was part of why Obama ranked in a National Journal survey as the senate's most liberal member.
Earlier in the day, McCain stumped in Virginia and told voters in Fairfax County they were in a place that is "key to this election."
"You know how important it is for us to win here. You know how important it is that we put this country in the right direction. I need your help for the next three days," McCain said.
Virginia is a purple state where Obama has made a massive push and it's showing results - polls have had him slightly ahead there for weeks.
"We've been a few points down. But we're coming back and we're coming back in Virginia!" McCain told supporters in Newport News, Va.
At an event in Springfield, McCain rapped Obama on issues crucial to senior citizens.
"Every four years, the Democrats roll out these ads try to scare seniors over Social Security and Medicare," McCain said, adding, "I'm going to protect Social Security. I'm going to protect Medicare, and I'm not going to let this congress tax away your retirement."
McCain also tussled with Team Obama, when the Republican on the stump seized on an Obama comment from last January about faith being "vindicated" after his Iowa caucus win.
McCain used the comment to try to question Obama's faith in his country - an attack Obama spokesman Bill Burton branded "pathetic."

He seems closer to winning PA but I hope not.
