Look at this electoral vote map:

Note: Obama wins with 8 electoral votes to spare even if he loses FL, OH, & VA.

1. Could happen

don't want it that close, and getting CO, NM and NV is a lot to expect.

But, interesting to ponder.

2. CO, NV, and NH are currently toss-ups, so it's closer than it might appear.

The map does look promising, though.

3. The nice thing:

We can afford to lose any of those light-blue outlined states. If it's 269-269, it goes to the House, and we win there as well.

I doubt it'll come down to such a small thing, but it's just nice to know that McCain's hurdle is just a tiny bit higher than Obama's. :)

4. I like seeing Texas listed as

"weak GOP". It's not blue, but it's a lot better than "strong GOP" :) Maybe someday...
