In defense of my own map, it shows that Obama can lose virtually every swing state due to the swag and "enthusiasm" that Paul Ryan will bring to the ticket. However, if Ryan's proves to be an albatross in Florida, Obama can still win the minimum 270 votes with the state - and without NV, CO, WI, IA, OH, VA, and NC. Its not the most accurate, but it is the most depressing.

Not sure what is so depressing about that, we are only at the outset of the attacks on Romney's plan. Suggests plenty of room for growth, and Republicans never have the public trust for long when it comes to these kind of reforms. Plus that poll does not specify who answered the question - what will matter most is seniors, and I guarantee they will be much more sensitive to the question than some 18 year old.
