2012 Elecotral vote changes favor GOP

[auburntiger]

According to Polidata, based on today's population trends, the post 2010 census is expected to shift a net 8 EV from Kerry states to Bush states, and presumably would favor future Republican candidates. 

A Republican could win even if they lost all the Kerry states plus OH, as long as they won two of the three Bush states:  NV, IA, NM

In four years, VA and NV will most likely be more Democrat than Ohio. States such as WV, NH, VA, NV, CO where there has been a fundamental shift in partisan trends is likely to continue at a faster rate than states like NM, IA, OH which have been considered swing states for some time now.
