Counting down electoral votes |
|
From Newsweek, and I cannot find the map on their website.
It has the following chart:
Solid Bush (18 states) 142 Leaning Bush (4 states) 39
Total Bush 181
Solid Kerry (8 states and D.C.) 143 Leaning Kerry (9 states) 90
Total Kerry 233
Toss-up (11 states) 124
Of those "toss-up" (Bush first, Kerry second)
AZ 48/45 10 FL 43/50 27 IA 46/49 7 MN 45/49 10 MO 48/48 11 NV 46/43 5 NH 42/49 4 NC 48/45 15 OH 49/44 20 WV 44/47 5 WI 46/49 10

does your lead have to be than "seven points" (FLA & NH) to at least be leaning?

and give Fla. and Mo. to Bush (not out of the question). Keep the rest as they are and see what you get.
Frightening, just frightening.

5. Any tie means Bush wins |
|
We must have a clear majority of the elctoral votes in order to win.

Even if the Dem's have a statistical majority in the House, they caucus by state, and we will lose.
Just what this country needs. Kerry wins the popular vote, ties the electoral vote, the Dem's are a majority in the House of Reps, and Bush gets another four years.
Talk about a divided nation.
That's a Doomsday scenario

6. electoral vote predictors |
|
I have yet to see an electoral vote predictor that doesn't have Kerry winning. I'm sure there must be some out there, but they seem to be the minority. Things are looking good! :toast:
