This is fun: Go here and project your own electoral totals. I have Obama with 337.

[Faygo Kid]

No "tossups," please. Project this thing. I have Obama with 337, and that's without Florida.

Try your hand (just click on each state and it will adjust the totals). What's the number you come up with?

1. 318

:o

[cynatnite]

15. That's the number I have, too. n/t

[Quixote1818]

2. I have Obama with 386 and I am pretty confidant about that number. nt

[BluegrassDem]

3. 401

I mean, it's not totally unrealistic we could win ND, MT, GA, and WV!! :smoke:

[leeno]

5. great minds!

I used 538.com and feel that Obama will pick up every state he has at least a 10% chance of winning

[featherman]

6. Throw in MS for 406... why not? That is Obama's ceiling, I think. I'll be content

with 270 but expect it to be somewhere between 331 and 406 depending on what happens over the next three weeks.

[leeno]

14. I'd really like to see 405

with Idaho so I could drive coast to coast w/o having to go through a red state!

[blue_onyx]

20. This was almost my prediction too

but I am being a little conservative. I'm giving Obama WV but not ND, MT, or GA....although they all seem possible now.

[Faygo Kid]

31. It's not unrealistic. Over 400 is the historical norm, actually.

I am being modest, but Obama could get to 400.

[leeno]

4. 401

[Schulzz]

7. 364

Every state where he has the lead right now in the poll average. Other states like IN, WV, GA or ND have not convinced me yet.

[electionwatcher]

8. 349

This is without North Carolina. If I turn NC blue then it rises to 364!

[thoughtcrime1984]

27. 349 also

McSame gets IN, WV, NC, ND. Obama gets MO, OH, FL, VA, CO, NM, NV.

[mckara]

9. 383

Let's hope!

[vanderBeth]

24. Me too.

[Quixote1818]

26. We must have the same states but I added 3 more

I have him with Montana and North Dakota.

[Greyskye]

10. My prediction from the CNN site. 375 / 163

They allow you to split your Electoral vote for Maine and Nebraska.

[MadBadger]

11. 364 with North Dakota as a tossup.

[MattBaggins]

12. I came up with 525 Obama 13 McCain

[cynatnite]

17. You're that sure about AZ and AK, aren't you?

:rofl:

[lapfog_1]

13. 349 Obama.

Only changing toss up states plus a few switcharoos (mostly FOR McCain).

Left Florida alone (leaning blue).

[leeno]

16. 420

somebody had to call it

w/ ID, MT, ND, MS, LA, GA, NC...

[blue_onyx]

18. As of now, I'll go with 380

[Compline]

22. A cautious 318

I love sites like this. I've also been frequenting <http://www.electoral-vote.com/> and <http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/>

[PM7nj]

19. 344 Obama

[Ishoutandscream2]

30. Me, too. Just changed Ohio, and boom!!

344

[rucky]

21. 297/241

I gave McCain the benefit of the doubt in every toss-up state. It's not really possible for him to win. Even the worst case scenario brings Obama ahead by 15

[IndianaJones]

23. 364 Obama. nt.

[vaberella]

25. 351. I included Florida, AK, NC...and a few others. n/t

[mvd]

28. I have Obama at 372

I added WV and ND for now to the Obama column. Still not sold on IN and GA.

[greenbriar]

29. fun

Obama/Biden 383
222 Solid 161 Leaning
McCain/Palin 155
140 Solid 15 Leaning
Toss Up 0

32. I'm going all the way: Obama 529, Mc Cain 9

With all the GOP infighting, I think it is going to be a 1972/1984 size blowout. I give Mc Cain Idaho and Utah.

[SoonerPride]

35. If Oklahoma flips blue, I'll eat my computer mouse and put that on youtube.

I swear to the flying spaghetti monster I will.

[swishyfeet]

33. I tried it in reverse... what does it take to get McAngry to 270...

Not easy to do!

I tried making all the gray states red, flipped FL from blue to red, and STILL Obama wins.

Nice.

[Liberalboy]

34. 365 (I think Obama gets Omaha too!)

[abburdlen]

36. Obama 445, McCain 93

But Arizona could be flipped :)


At the rate Republicans are running away from McCain, I really don't think that the GOP getting under 100 EV is a fantasy
