Huh. Could the Republicans possibly win without taking Ohio? It's strange, as I tend to group WV, PA, OH, and others into a more Populist group of states, and yet the more Conservative ones are going for the Democrat and the more Liberal ones are going for the Republican. Strange. Also, this is my idea for how a map might look. This is the oddest thing. Republicans do well in the Deep South and the Industrial states. Democrats do well in Appalachia. It's ironic, at least in my opinion. Neither candidate heading the ticket is the most socially conservative, and yet Christie will probably get a large amount of Catholics while Schweitzer will do well among farmers and miners in Appalachia. FYI, this map turned out to be an exact tie, no joke and I didn't intend it that way.
