Electoral College Prediction for as of January, 2012.

Every month I will be making electoral college predictions based on where I think the presidential race is going and on the assumption Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee. As of the end of January, 2012, I predict that Barack Obama would win with 317 electoral votes to 221 for Mittens. I think that Romney will take IN, NC, NH and FL away from Obama. However, Obama would pick up AZ.

Republicans get Florida, North Carolina, and Indiana. Arizona and New Hampshire vote the same way they did last time.

... into account.

Like GOP will win "this" state because x-number of people will be prevented from voting.

I don't have the research chops for this, but it would be great if someone did.

I don't see him keeping VA. Agree about losing IA, NC, NH, and FL.

So: Obama, 284-254
