MONTHLY ELECTORAL COLLEGE GUESTIMATE

Hi folks I've said that just for shits and giggles I would do an EC estimate once a month this will be my third one. I am only doing the EC and not the popular because I don't give a shit about the popular vote that's not gonna reelect Obama. Theoretically Obama could win by one vote in the most populated states and lose every other vote elsewhere and still win...so here goes my picks for the EC (Please argue with me if you diagree)

Obama Absolute WA 12 OR 7 CA 55 NM 5 HI 4 ME 4 VT 3 MA 11 RI 4 CT 7 NY 29 PA 21 NJ 13
MY 10 DC 3 MN 10 IL 20 MI 17 WI 10 IA 6 NV 6 VA 13 NH 4 Total 274 EV

Toss AZ 11 OH 20 FL 29 possibly MT 3 total 63 EV

Romney States (I'll lump them together because I don't like to name them: 201 EV)
