Kerry/Edwards - 333
Dole/Kemp       - 205

Looks pretty accurate, however I'd have to ask: Why Tennessee to Kerry? Kerry flipped New Hampshire to the Democrats column last year, so I'd say he wins there, too. My projection is Kerry, 326-212. Florida, Ohio, West Virginia, Nevada, New Mexico, Iowa, and Colorado are battleground states that could swing either way and ultimitely decide the outcome.

Hah, that's right, I forgot to change Tennessee - pretty silly.  There is no way it would have gone for Kerry in 1996.  But I do think New Hampshire would've gone to Dole against Kerry in 1996 - eight years ago New Hampshire was a touch more conservative, and Dole was at least perceived as less extreme than Bush in 2004.

I'd vote Kerry, and he'd win.
