Here's a nice resource for tracking the 2012 election...it has excellent historical pie charts at the State level for seeing how each State has performed in the last few cycles.

(23,756 posts)except I pretty much think that Obama will be winning NH, NM, MI, WI, IA,, PA and NV which would be a total of 67 more bringing him to a total of 263....all he has to do is win one state either CO, OH, VA, NC or FL
AK, ID, ND, SD, NE, KS, OK, TX, WV, KY, TN, MS, AL, SC, GA, AR, LA, WY, UT which comprise a total of 144 are a total write off and if I was Obama I wouldn't waste any dollars or effort there
MO and MT to me are possible outside shots.
Where I'd spend most of my money would be OH, FL, VA and MO total 72
To me the most likely win is either FL or OH and I'd go out on a limb and say Obama wins by getting 292 electoral votes

(23,500 posts)27 states have repiglickin governors, repiglickin legislatures, repiglickin secretaries-of-state.
They are already passing legislation aimed at disenfranchising as many of the poor and elderly as possible.
What they will be doing on election day we can only guess, but we know what they can do:
Those states have 270 electoral votes.
