    My Electoral Map Prediction

    So, last summer, a friend of mine found this website where you can create your own Electoral map based on your own predictions. We all created our own maps, and I think I posted my prediction here months ago but I can't find the thread. Anyway, I dug up my map now that the election is close so I'm going to post it again. This is what I predicted around June or so, and I would like to amend the map a little but I'm going to stick with my initial prediction.

    I can't find the same website that I used previously, but here is another similar site http://qando.net/images/election.swf. So, everyone post your predictions and we'll see who gets close to the results.

    I can buy that, though I might put Ohio as red.

    Like I said, I'm going to stick with my original summer prediction. If I could make some changes though, I would flip WV, MO, and maybe NC.

    I don't know that I believe that BHO wins both FL & OH.

    OH is more likely than FL in my opinion.

    I think Obama probably wins MO and NC. He has all kinds of Mo in Missouri (heh) right now. WV isn't going blue this cycle-McCain has about an eight-point lead in WV (plus, early voters are reporting that the voting machines in WV are magically changing their votes from Obama to McCain while they watch, and no I'm not kidding). Ohio I see as a narrow McCain win.

    Not a bad map for several months out though, SicEm. Nice job on the Virginia pickup.

    I think in a surprise move, DC is going to McCain.

    I also think that the VP is in charge of the Senate.

    I think Sarah might just drop out when it's revealed that the person in charge of the Senate doesn't actually get a $150k clothing allowance.

    You forgot western Europe, all of Africa and Asia. Put those down as blue too.

    Now now. Don't count out the Phillipines. They support John McCain.

    As do, apparently, the people on the Pakistan-Afghani border.

    you left out Russia and the former Warsaw Pact.

    maybe some heroic American will parachute in with some blue jeans and rock and roll and make the Eastern Bloc free (again!).

    I'll actually be surprised if Obama wins Colorado. it's a weird state due to population density. Boulder/Denver will go to Obama....but the rest of the state is pretty conservative (outside some mountain towns).

    Georgia is pretty solidly pro-McCain, as well they should be with one of his senior campaign officials being a registered lobbyist for Georgia.

    The polling suggests that Obama has a pretty solid lead in Colorado, in no small part due to McCain's support of "stealing" Colorado's water for Arizona's use.
