| 5. I don't have a lot of faith in North Carolina or Florida |
|
But otherwise, it's still a solid win!!

| 13. I think it takes 375 EV's for a landslide? |
|
I still love your map. ;)

| 8. In my calculation I just switched Missouri to McCain... |
|
I also left Ohio, Florida, Nevada, and Virginia neutral.
Obama still won 273-200. If McCain wins in Missouri, Ohio, Florida, Nevada, and Virginia.... Obama still wins. McCain needs to hold onto all five of them and would still have to flip either Colorado or New Hampshire to prevail.
If Obama gets any one of those five, he wins even if McCain flips both Colorado AND New Hampshire.
McCain can win this, but most winning scenarios would involve Obama being caught with a dead hooker.
I think you're optimistic, but 300 EVs is not out of the question

| 9. Hey, that's a beautiful picture to keep in mind as we keep going! |
|
What's even more beautiful is the pie graph showing the probability of wins for Obama or McCain on 538 and it's basically 75% Obama, 25% McCain. It's beautiful.

| 11. With that kind of landslide... |
|
I suspect that MT, the urban part of NE, and WV will also go blue.
