Wow. Dispite what the pundits think, McCain has really improved in the polls. The polls are now a statistical dead heat in Ohio, Virginia, Nevada, Colorado, and Florida. If McCain can win all of those, and work some magic in Pennyslvania, McCain will win! Some big things will have to happen in the next 48 hours, but I think McCain can and WILL pull this thing off!
Tomorrow will be my last poll, expect something long here!

I personally don't think this map is "ridiculous". Something pretty big will have to happen in the McCain campaign under the next week, but I am confident that they can pull it off. Obama has so many weaknesses that just need to be exposed.

Despite what some may be saying, things are getting much, much better for the GOP. I think due to McCain's hard campaigning in Pennyslvania and the Bradley effect, McCain can win that state. Colorado has a high military population, which should also help McCain.

Personally, I think John McCain had a good debate. I have talked with several people who were either undecided, or leaning towards one candidate, and they all said McCain was very impressive, while Obama was flat. Actually, one of my best friends has gone from uncommitted to solidly McCain!

Virginia Results

McCain hasn't been campaigning a lot here, and has lost his lead. I still think that Democrats are oversampled in polls. If McCain really thought he could lose Virginia, he would be spending a lot more pennies there.

McCain was better known going into this, which helps him. Also, many hispanics won't vote for a black because they don't want blacks to be the preferred minority.
Yall might call me crazy, but let me remind you...Polls aren't always true! A poll came out a week before the election in 1980 showing Jimmy Carter LEADING Reagen by 12 points. :/ Republican also generally do better at getting their base out to vote.

At first glance, you are probably thinking this map looks crazy. But let me remind you, this is CLINTON vs. McCAIN.
There are few new polls out, so I have nothing changed in the actualy election. So this is a "special election". McCain edges Clinton out, but there are a lot of "toss-up" states.
How do you think a CLINTON vs. MCCAIN election would turn out???

This map was intended for yesterday, but the site was malfunctioning, so the results looked funked.
As much as I hate saying this, many will not vote for Obama because he is black. I think if McCain can get in the margin of error, he will win this election. But that has to happen, so he has a lot of work to do from now till Nov. 4th.

McCain edges Obama out. Young and black voters do not vote in the #'s Obama was hoping for. The Kool-Aid drive will be a failure.
New Mexico
This state will be expected to vote for Obama, but won't, and here is why. 40% of New Mexico's voters are hispanic. Many may not vote for Obama because they don't want blacks to be the preferred minority. McCain also has more name recognition, since he is from a neighboring state.

After watching a video on New Mexico, I have moved it to "toss-up". There are many Hispanics who do not want a black as President because then the blacks would be the "preferred minority".
I'm going with Gceres on Virginia. I just can't see Obama winning the state.
Anxious to see post-VP Debate numbers.

When making this poll, I tried to average out polling results over the last month. I figured Democrats would have a slight lead, but lookin at the map now, I see it is different. There are a lot more states that are solid for Obama. McCain is going to have a hard time holding onto all the states because of Obama's Kool-Aid Drive and massive fundraising.

Colorado Results
McCain is expected to lose slimly, but ends up pulling it out.
Minnesota Results
Neck and neck all the way, but Obama barely clinches it at teh end.
When doing the "Confidence" meter, <10% was lean, and <5% was a toss-up. That wasn't the case on all states. My personal opinion was also involved.
In last nights debate, it was a tie. But due to expectations going in, a tie, or even close to a tie, was a win for Governor Palin. She showed that she isn't "weak" like everyone is saying, and shut up the critics.
Version: 45
Republicans are gaining, but by very little. Ohio, Florida, and New Hampshire will be a huge disappointment for Obama, where McCain will play well. Indiana, Missouri, Georgia, and Montana will stay close, but not likely to change.

McCain could win by even a more healthy margin. My beleif is that most polling companies only poll in close states, which could mean McCain doing actually better. Obama could also do better, based on California and New York.
This will be much closer than the last 2 elections, just because so many states are so tight, and could come down to just a couple thousand votes. The most important states are down here.
Indiana will vote more strongly Republican than expected since they have a Republican governor running for re-election and he is expected to win handily.
Michigan Results

Michigan will be this election's Florida. I see a recount in this state for sure, and the winner could only win by 1,000 votes. A poll came out today that showed McCain leading by 3, which proves my point that Michigan is the most important state in this election.

Yes, there is a tie. I'm not sure how it would work if there was, but I beleive that it would then go to popular vote, so here is how I see it.

There will be many recounts due to the closeness of this election.
Some states, meaning Florida, has gone from lean McCain to toss-up.
The 2 states to SWITCH are Colorado and New Hampshire. In Colorado, the polls have been inconsistant, therefore, I can't make too accurate of a prediction. I have McCain winning New Hampshire due to his popularity in the state. He has won the primaries there twice, and is doing some campaigning there. Obama will soon give it up, thinking he won't need NH's 4 votes, and it would be a waste of money.
If McCain campaigns heavily enough in Michigan or Pennyslvania, I have a feeling he can win one of those states. Actually, I don't think it would be impossible for him to win both. If he did though, he would be campaigning a lot there, and could lose states like Colorado, Nevada, and Indiana in the process.
Version: 35
My map...The only state to switch over is Colorado. It has a high military population, which works in Senator McCain's favor.

Even though Obama is polling much better, I still have a feel that Republicans will win. If they can expose many of Obama's weaknesses, and convince undecided voters that they can fix the economy, Republicans should have a good election. I wouldn't call it crazy to think that Republicans MIGHT control Congress. Senate is very doubtful though.

Iowa has gone from Strong Democrat to Toss-up, due to Big 10's poll today, having the race there tied. Obama appears to have around a 2-3% lead in many of the great lakes states, and if McCain campaigns enough there, he could pick a couple of those states up. I'm still having problems deciding how Colorado will vote, but for now, it is Democrat. Michigan will change this election.

Prety much the same map, but for now, I'm trying to bring it back to reality, so Pennyslvania is now Democrat. But depending on how much McCain and Palin campaign there, this state could go either way.

The Republicans should get a boost after the convention. If the election was held TODAY, this is how I see it turning out. The high amount for Republicans will most likely go down from now to November 4th, but now, we have the momentum, and could blow Obama out of the water if it happened today. Pennyslvania would be a toss-up, but I felt like being nice and moving them over to the GOP's side.

Sarah Palin was an excellent choice for McCain. Out west, he will only lose New Mexico. I say he gives up there, and works at bigger states like Michigan and Pennyslvania. I think if he and Palin spend loads of time in Pennyslvania and Michigan, they can convince them they are the ones. And if they can win 1 of those states, they should be able to win the election.
Also, due to his popularity in New Hampshire, watch that state to keep the Northeast from going all Democrat.

Wow. Sarah Palin is the Vice President. Although she won't bring a state with her, since Alaska was already going Republican, she will have an appeal in each state, which could change this election. States like Ohio and Pennyslvania, places Hillary did well in could now go more Republican.
Version: 12
My map has gone so Democrat solely now because of the DNC. It will be back to normal after the GOP convention.
I'm hoping Obama campaigns hard in little states like Montana and North Dakota, while McCain keeps chipping at his lead in Ohio, Michigan, and Minnesota. As long as Obama keeps goofing off out west, we could see many Great Lakes states going Republican, Pennyslvania, and who knows, maybe New York will jump on the bandwagon. (Doubtful)
Anyways, selecting Mitt Romney would help McCain a bunch in Michigan, but it could also hurt him in states with high evangilical voting. But he will hurt more than help
With lots of campaigning, Pawlenty could swing Minnesota over. But then again, it could be Edwards `04 all over again.
Lieberman would destroy McCain. Many Republicans wouldn't vote, and Obama would easily win this election.
Tom Ridge would make Republicans mad, but they will still vote for Mac. Pennyslvania could go Republican, and we could see a huge upset win for McCain
Sarah Palin would make Alaksa very safe, as well as woe many Clinton voters to jump ships.Due to her attractiveness, some guys could even come out and vote.
Bobby Jindal will do nothing, except shut up Conservatives. But he isn't experienced, and Democrats will attack him.
Charlie Crist will bring Florida solidly for McCain, but McCain will probably win Florida anyways. And now, he has a girlfriend
Version: 10
This map could get very interesting once McCain selects his running mate.
Version: 2
This will change once the VP picks are announced. I think Michigan could swing Republican if Romney is the VP. I also think New Hampshire will go Republican, due to McCain's popularity there. Many states, like Massacusetts and California will be more tightly contested than experts predict, with Obama squeeking it out. McCain should be able to stay strong in the Midwest. The key states this election for me are Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, and Florida. McCain will probably need 3 of those to get a majority.
