Thread: Your Electoral College Predictions?

Just curious, predict not only the winner in Nov, but the electoral numbers... include which swing states you think will go which way.

Personal prediction:
McCain/Palin 284
Obama/Biden 254

Colo, Nv, Mn, Oh, VA go GOP

NM, Wa, Michigan, PA and NH go DEM
By the way... RealClearPolitics has an easy way to do this

McCain 376 - Obama 162

oops

McCain/Palin 538
Obama/Biden 0

All states vote for McCain/Palin after Obama makes a poor tactical decision to go after states 51-57 (which exist only in his mind!)

Tie - 269 - 269

Question: What is going to happen then?

Answer: The end.

Take the 2004 map. Shift Iowa to Obama because of the ethanol vote. Done. Obama 263, McCain 275.

The only battleground states with any chance to flip vs. 2004 are Colorado and Nevada because of the Latino vote. Nevada alone won't do it for Obama, although Colorado will.

It's sad, but I've come to the conclusion that the country is so polarized that the Republicans could run Larry the Cable Guy and the Democrats could run Bill Maher and the election would turn out exactly the same way.

Hey Dave Holman, you have 10 votes more than you should. Did states 51-57 go for McCain even though Obama created them? Oops, sorry, you edited. Good catch.
