That aside Romney is going to have to win everything available to win. Unlikely.

I like that DemCon only has the hurricane map

A link to 22 online Electoral College opinion maps that calculate tossups can be found at:

http://peanutgallerypolitical.blogspot.com/

Each week an average of the opinions is usually posted by Monday afternoon.

There are also 12 maps that assign the votes without tossups, forcing the vote to either Obama or Romney. An average of these opinions will be posted weekly beginning October 1, since they are more meaningful as we get closer to election day.

Maps are a dime a dozen, but several of these sites have additional commentary that's very much worth reading.

I've been going mostly to electoral-vote.com but I've already started branching out, thanks to your links.

That's the group with the highest oppo to marriage equality.

You'll also find a lot of rural whites in West Florida who vote with their sheets.
