I posted my map.  I admit it may be a little bias.
Where is it posted?

HEY!!! I want to post a map. Please tell me how.

1. Go to http://www.uselectionatlas.org/USPRESIDENT/GENERAL/PE2004/CAMPAIGN/evcalc4.php

2. Create your map according to which states you think each party is going to win (make sure to click 'Update' at the bottom of the screen).

3. Right-click on the map, open the map in a new window, copy the URL for that link.

4. In your post, paste the URL for the map inbetween [img] and /img], to get the picture onscreen. (You must put [ before /, I just didn't do it because otherwise the computer would have looked for an image and got confused.)

Sorry if this sounds a bit complicated, but I hope it helps.
Thanks.

It's not working. There is no update button at the bottom of the screen.

Oh, right. Have you tried right-clicking just outside of the US borders on that map?
I did, but let me try again. Nope. I can save it but not open it in another window.

That's strange. I'm not really sure how else I can help you here, maybe somebody else can come up with something. Sorry.
Alright. Thanks anyway.

This map takes into a count Harry's influence in the South and DemRepDan's influence in the Midwest.  So Nym90 wins by 26.  Though I'm sure I've over-exagerated the effects the VPs will have on the election.
You know, I'm pretty powerful in CA and NV.

I doubt you are powerful enough to swing California away from the Democrats.  but I will give you Nevada.  Nym90 wins by 12.

I can't add.
No, you don't understand. California is revolutionizing. If you RECALL the RECALL, that did more than you think. Republicans' popularity here has gone up 52%!

Ah since I'm the Attorney General of California I should point out I'm very popular so I think PD and I can swing California in SouthSoulTy's favor.
Absolutely.

Here is my new Nym v. Supersoulty map:


That map is still wrong. I would be able to swing California and Nevada.

I would very much doubt that, California wouldn't swing at the drop of the hat.
How many times do I have to tell you guys? California has revolutionized. Don't forget that 2 of the most conservative presidents have come from us: Nixon and Reagan. The Recall did a lot more than you know. I've said this before, the Republicans' popularity here has gone up 52%.

As far as I can see, the one thing that keeps conservatives from winning California is the urban vote, namely LA and San Francisco. Look at the way districts vote in each Presidential election; the coastal urban areas are strictly Demoratic, whereas the rural areas are mainly Republican, and the former will continue to swing CA in the Democrats' favour.

Govenor Schwarzenegger is a Republican, but it bears pointing out that he's a social liberal. GWB is very much to the right of Arnie.
San Diego is a coastal urban area and it's very conservative.

But that was another era. California was conservative until the 90s or so, since then it has trended Democrat. I am willing to accept that it isn't extremely Democratic, but it's still much more Democratic than the national average, and that is enough to make it go Dem in a close election.
Pete Wilson was our governor in the 90's. He's very conservative.

California in 2000:

Bush had the widespread support geographically but Gore still won by 12%.
May I point out that the counties of Sacramento, Yolo, and Santa Barbara are now conservative. Also, My county is Riverside, the long skinny one towards the bottom, (extends from Arizona to Orange County) and it's a dark blue! I'm so proud!

Do you think CA is going to go for Bush this year?
I think so.

Yes, in three years those counties have gone 260 degrees from liberalism to conservatism.

Please, remember Arnold is a social liberal and is only economically a conservative.  Bustamante and Davis were socially to the right of Arnold.
Bustamante is social all over. So was Davis, just not as bad as Bustamante.

I'm not saying that it is out of the world of possibility, but I don't think it will happen.

If PD, despite his far-right views, can swing Calif. to the GOP, I could certainly swing NC to the Dems.
I doubt it. It's unlikely that any Southern state would vote democratic.

I think that I would have a better chance of winning West Virginia, Ohio, Florida, Missouri, or Oregon than I would have of winning Kentucky, Mississippi, or Tennessee. Also, no way that I'll lose California if I'm ahead by 7% nationally as I now am. I'd have to lose by 10 points before California would become a tossup.
How do you know that you're up 7%?
