1. Correction--Should Read "Without NO Toss Up States"

With NO Toss Up States it is even better (364)! :-D

11. Actually, I think the title is correct.

Perhaps it was corrected.

2. www.270towin.com doesnt count for "leaning", but gives Obama 264

All we need is for ONE of the leaners to fall our way.

4. I think that Florida would yield some poetic justice, don't you? n/t

3. I see... even if McCain wins all 75 toss-up votes, he still won't have the 270 he needs to win.

158 + 67 = 225

270 - 225 = 45

McCain would still need an additional 45 electoral votes, even if he won ALL the toss-up states AND all the states leaning toward McCrazy.

The only way for McCain to win is to take ALL the toss-up states, ALL the leaning-McCrazy states, plus 45 of the 75 Electoral Votes leaning toward Obama.

9. I like that EV proportional map. It gives a more realistic picture of what this country is like.

12. Haha! I love how Hawaii is bigger than Alaska in the proportional map.

hehe!!

5. There is potential for almost 400 e.v.

6. Long term democratic majorities

If the democratic party can maintain the support among youth and latinos (2-1 over GOP) then the democratic party will be in a far better position in the southwest and midwest. We may get to take it for granted that in 2012 the democratic candidate will start the election with about 260+ EVs in safe states.

7. Obama NEEDS the rest of the tossups

I WANT a landslide.

[bushisanidiot]

14. Me too!!

democrats deserve one!!

[MadBadger]

8. I think the clostest blue state (from 04) has Obama up 8 there

[apnu]

10. pollster.com has Obama with 320, that too, without tossups. (nt)

[vanderBeth]

13. One good election night, I have 384. :D

[VAliberal]

15. It would be poetic

if President Obama is able to declare "MANDATE" and rub the faces of the stinking right-wingers as he sets about working with the American people to restore our country.
