Predict the electoral vote count


I'll predict Obama/Biden 364, Mc/P 174



What's your prediction?

1. I'm being super-conservative here:
because I think it'll tighten, and because I don't have faith in some previously-red states to do the right thing.

Obama: Kerry states + Colorado + New Mexico + Iowa + Virginia = 286EVs

McCain: 252EVs

What's especially comforting is that in this worst-case scenario, Obama still wins the race comfortably.

2. I did it earlier and was in a good mood, so I got to 383, I think.

3. 333. All the "swings", except Ohio.
I just can't get myself to believe the funny business is fixed there.
Maybe MO, too, for 334.

5. Obama: 361, McCain: 177
I'm actually giving Obama Arizona and North Carolina. Remember that you heard it here first. :)

6. O-393 M-145
I'm a little optimistic. One state I'm very hopeful about is Indiana. During the primaries Obama outperformed the polling and I think he will do it again.

8. I'm less concerned with Obama
Then with how many liberal, progressives that come to Washingtonon his soattails. So many voters after studying the thing just pull for all the dems,and well they should. we need big numberss to be able to get the hard things done. If we have 60 Senstors and 260 Reps. our side can really move this agenda forward, while we root out all theives that beeen hanging out, just to get theiy share, it has got to stop
