Probably because you have Bush winning every swing state and then some (except West Virginia).  The election is going to be closer than that.

I find it very unlikely that Bush would enjoy such a sweeping victory...it will all come down to Ohio some are worried about PA... last year polls in PA where similar to where they are now...in fact back then Bush was beating us by 3-4 points!...it (as last time) will take a lot of foot work and plenty of adds but we should hold PA by a similar margin to last time...Michigan and Oregon will not go to Bush either... MN, IA and NM could really go either way (a week ago i would have said Bush will win IA and NM but now I'm not so sure same with MN)... in WI the polls are very good for Kerry considering Gore won in it by just 0.07% last time round... the last poll out from the American Research Group shows Kerry-46%, Bush-43%, Nader-4% in WI... i doubt Nader will have that kinda presence (he just doesn’t have the money or the activist support).... but your being way to generous to Bush he will not effectively sweep all the swing states just wont happen... the one really good thing about Kerry is he is pretty close to what most people see as "generic democrat" and in every poll given a choice better Bush and "generic democrat", generic democrat wins...some dems on this board are way too depressed about the Kerry candidacy...

Right now, the national polling numbers are 45% to 45%.  Obviously, it all comes down to a few battleground states, and how the vote divides there.  Amongst LIKELY voters (the only kind that count), its 48-44 in Michigan, 45-41 in Ohio, 45-44 in Penn, 48-45 in Florida, 47-44 in Minn, and 51-41 in Iowa,  ALL IN FAVOUR OF KERRY!  (I know, its a bit shocking).  If the election were held today, Kerry would actually win the electoral vote.  Now, naturally, the margins are within the polling error in many states, but the trend can't be denied.

I know, I know.  But I think it will give him a few votes if he can appear to be more regional than Bush.

Actually, again, i looked  at your map and I dont see Kerry winning Colorado, and I think Bush winning Iowa is just as unlikely.

I'm predicting some things will change between now and November, including some trends.

Kerry is not a "generic democrat". Kerry is a far to the left liberal Democrat, and even old Blonde Killer has shot him down on more then a few occassions.

But he's way to the left of Kerry? why him?.... i would say if you want a generic dem your looking at Harkin or an older version of Edwards however in alot of voters minds i'd say Kerry is pretty much as they imagine a "generic dem" IMHO...

No he isn’t on trade, on government spending, on taxation, he is very much to Kerry's left (however he is a friend of Kerry's and now a big supporter)...

On my personal chart, a 'generic Democrat' is frightfully far to the left.  I only find people like Zell Miller, Breux, Leiberman, and a few others at all comparable with the political center of the country.

Kerry is the most liberal senate member.
Gephardt is in the center-left among house members.
