Challenge

[Bo]

Make county result maps for any states you want based on the way the election will turn out. For instance, if you want to, make a county map of VA and show which counties you think Obama will win and which counties the GOP nominee will win and by what margin.

I think Oklahoma will look something like this in 2012:

Agreed

[Ebowed]

Nonsense.  Obama is going to win back Coal County.

This challenge is too boring.  One can too easily use 2008 as a baseline, and then make minor tweaks here and there.  A real challenge would be doing an Iowa caucus prediction map by county.

YOU MAKE THE MAP THEN JERKFACE

It's a good thing you called him jerkface; otherwise, you would have lost.

Here are a couple of scenarios of various candidates with maps. They are almost complete guesses; there are only five previous Iowa Republican caucuses to go off of. The last one is just for fun though.

This is such good work that I must bump it to make sure it gets seen.

[Mr. Morden]

Yeah, that is cool stuff re: Iowa maps.

[Lunar]

How do you know he wasn't talking about my Oklahoma map?

[Torie]

That Iowa map should have Mitt wining the county which not only has the cheapest farmland in Iowa, but also has a lot of Mormons - to wit, Decatur, which is the fifth county over to the east from the Nebraska border on the Missouri border.

[RosettaStoned]

Nice.

[Linus Van Pelt]

Don't know the area at all really, but something tells me Huck beats Palin around Sioux etc. They seem to be more into Jesus specifically rather than a generic temper tantrum against "elites" or whatever it is Palin goes on about.

I was!

I didn't know that, but it makes sense. I can adjust my maps accordingly.

Could very well be. I put it the way I did only because I read once that Huckabee won states and counties with some correlation to the Baptist percentage. IIRC, Sioux is a Dutch Calvinist area that I thought was better suited to a non-denominational Christian message than a Southern Baptist one. It just seemed to me like the one area of the state that Palin could do well in. Maybe not, I don't know. We'll have to wait to see.

Huckabee and Palin would be a good competition but Huckabee has more experience. Palin definitely has an advantage with money though.
