Electoral Map Pick-Em...

 A few of us in my program are doing something rather nerdy, and have put together a pool to predict the electoral vote for the election. Now that I've made my endorsements, here's some predictions on what might happen.

Electoral Map:


Electoral Votes: Obama 406, McCain 132

Tiebraker Questions:

Number of Senate seats held by Democrats after Tuesday: 58 (including B Sanders I-VT, and J Leiberman I-CT). Georgia (Chambliss vs. Martin) will move to a run-off.
State with the closest race: Arizona
Winner and margin of victory for...
   Indiana (Obama by 3)
   Missouri (Obama by 3)* Closest of six
   Nevada (Obama by 10)
   Ohio (Obama by 6)
   Pennsylvania (Obama by 11)
   Virginia (Obama by 7)
Number of total voters: 85 million
Margin of victory: 7 million, 8%
Obama total in AZ: 50%
McCain total in IL: 34%
Number of Bush '04 states won by Obama: 13
Number of Kerry '04 states won by McCain: 0

And finally, while I was playing with the electoral map, I made a states I visited map. Places I've visited are in blue and constitute a landslide 385 electoral votes. The three states in yellow I may visit in the near future. What I'm planning to do in Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota? I'll talk about that down the road...
