I don't like your color system.  The big red Bush area hurts my eyes.

StatesRights,

Your percentages are out of whack.  Bush won't get 60% in TN, KY, IN, and SC.  Also, there is NO WAY Kerry gets 60% in Vermont.  Gore only got about 51% there.

I guess it's just about possible - assuming a very bad showing for Nader, a clear Kerry victory across the US and an overaverage VT swing.

I know virtually nothing about Vermont politics although I would just generally assume they are pretty liberal. Well, we all know what assumption is the mother of.

Total-intuition map. Basically, i pictured myself as a voter in that state, going to the polling booth, and voting for the first campaign banner I saw.



Kerry-270
Bush-268

It isn't mean to be an in depth analysis. Just gut feeling.

It'll still be 270:268 (but more realistic) if you switch MO, LA, and VA for MN, IA, AR, and WI.  Hell, if you just have Gore states + NV and WV, you'll still have 270:268.

Yes, that would be a gut feeling. If Virginia, Missouri, Arizona, and Louisiana go for Kerry, he will probably also get Florida, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennslyvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and maybe Ohio.

It may be a gut feeling, but it looks to me like a very realistic outcome.  I would probably give Arizona and Missouri back to Bush, but you're map look slike a very real possibility

Actually it's not.  I understand how he came up with it, and I'd have something similar if I were to do the same, but it's a bit out of line.

Many states, such as Louisiana and Arizona will be below Bush's national number while states such as Wisconsin will be above it.  

Actually, it's more like this:
Above Bush's national number (Kerry's in a 49-49-2 election): Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Oregon, West Virginia

Below Bush's national number (Bush's in a 49-49-2 election): Ohio, Missouri, Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Arizona, Nevada

It's extremely unlikely for Bush to lose a state that he should be +5 in and simultaneously win a state that he should be -3 in.  If he's doing well he wins both, he's doing badly he loses both, and in a rough tie he wins the + and loses the -.  No scenario exists where he  loses the + and wins the -.

If you give Arizona back to Bush, Kerry should get New Mexico at least.

Update:


Iowa seems to be becoming solid for Kerry, while Michigan is getting closer, as is North Carolina.  The closest states are probably Pennsylvania (Kerry up one), Ohio (Bush up two), and West Virginia (Kerry up 1.5).

North Carolina is right on the brink of 'solid' Bush.

I can't believe people are tking my map so seriousl Cheesy

It's purely intution, and I believe says more about the state of the campaign in those states then the actual way it will go. It is purely based on the first banner I 'saw' when heading to the ballot box.

If you were to do the same, i'm sure your map would looki similar. It depends on whose campaign machine will be doing better in those states on the day.
