MAKE YOUR OWN ELECTORAL VOTE MAP!

[Guest]

CNN has a map that you can easily fill out that records your electoral predictions for the election.

1. Go to the CNN electoral map site: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2012/ecalculator#?battleground
   
2. Click on the pull-down box to the right of the map and select 'My Picks'
   
3. Fill out the map by double-clicking each state to select Democratic ir Republican.
   
4. After you fill out the map, click on the the email option to the right of Share your Map (above the map to the right).
   
5. From the body of the email, copy and paste the url as shown below:

MeDotOrg : Obama 277 - Romney 261 (Edited to swap Vermont and New Hampshire)

Should be fun to compare how badly we did after the election. No posting after 12:00 Noon EST on Tuesday.

For some reason it just freezes when I click the email option. But I have Obama 303 to Romney's 235.

332-206 or 303-235. Florida as the flip state in those two scenarios.

332-206 would be the prediction I made six months ago in my 2012 election thread. I should be pretty close.

R-325 0-213

Feel free to switch PA, MN, and IA. Romney still at 289.

Throw in WI. Romney still at 279. My low end prediction.

Call me crazy and take out NH. Romney still at 275.

I'm predicting Romney takes Florida, NC, VA, CO, OH and/or PA. The other states (PA, MN, IA, WI) at this moment no longer even lean Obama and the Democrats are way down from 2008 in early voing.

Obama - 281
Romney - 257

here's my map.

Obama 303
Romney 235

not too complicated really. Obama holds all his 2008 states except those he won by less than 4 points (NC, IN, NE-2, Florida).

if things go better than expected for Obama, he picks up Florida too making it 332-206 (Bond James Bond's map, i think). alternately, in Romney's best case scenario he picks up VA, CO, and NH on his way to a 278-260 loss (MeDotOrg's map).

throughout the race, state level polling has never given us substantial reason to believe Romney will win in OH, IA, or NV (let alone PA, WI, MN, MI). so if Romney wins any of those states, then all bets are off, because it means the polling data has been off to a degree we haven't seen in a 2-way presidential race for decades.

MeDotOrg, i think you accidentially clicked VT on that map when you meant to click NH.

Guilty as charged. Being a West Coast boy, I must admit that I often confuse their positions. I'll try updating my map.

I wondered why I was getting hate mail from Howard Dean...

I nailed it with 303. But it will actually be 332 once Florida is added.
