Archaea is an unknown quantity at this point
Default For the analysts, what does the current electoral map look like?

Cali believes Obama will win every state except racist Utah in a landslide and Tex believes the opposite, but what do the rest believe?

It is odd to me that the frontrunner, presumed nominee Obama can get wasted in Kentucky and WVA. Seattle will write that off simply as racism, but to be defeated so badly in the Democratic primary? What happens in those states when you add independents and Republicans to the mix?

Which states switch from Rep to Dems or vice versa? Other than Barbara, has anybody done an analysis?

Arch, don't insult me by casting me as the opposite of Cali's Kool-Aid drunkenness. I've not said how I think the election will go and I'd appreciate you letting me speak for myself.

Damn, you'd think after more than a year of posting here, you people would get tired of that.

?? Captain Hyperbole to the rescue!

States that are red that have a good chance of going blue with Obama on the ticket:

Texas
Colorado
Nevada
South Carolina
North Carolina
Georgia
Virginia
Florida
Missouri
Iowa
MAYBE Mississippi
Louisiana
Nebraska

Electoral Votes: Obama 242 McCain 285

What is interesting is that Clinton vs. Mccain goes the other way.
