They have most of the swing states that are polling for Obama as tossups, including Nevada, Virginia, Florida and Iowa. Look here: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com

and look at the state by state polling in the sidebar and the probablities. Nate Silver got 49 out of 50 right last time; I wouldn't be betting against his numbers being as close to an accurate representation of the state of the race as we have.
