You can get Obama -1500 in Minnesota and Oregon. So if my math (i.e., online parlay calculator) is right, you can bet $1,000 to win $137.78 if you parlay those. Not bad.

Edit: And thinking about that more, if you're allowed to parlay states in the same way you can parlay football games, there's probably a really great bet in there somewhere. Because unlike games which are all separate and all subject to an upset here and there, the states are all connected. Obama's not going to win the election comfortably but randomly lose Oregon, for example.
