Senate Prediction 2008

[Tender Branson]

How are you fellows making those maps?  I tried to use 'election info' link but there is no gray on there.. just red, blue, and green.

Just click on the "quote" button of the post with a map in it, then the map code appears, change the code to how you like it and remove the quotation signs.

Haha, very funny.  I am not one of you computer repairman types.  'Code' my eye!

Nana. Really. It´s very easy. For example Quincy's map: click on quote, then this code comes:

img width=506 height=313]https://uselectionatlas.org/TOOLS/genusmap.php?year=2008&ev_c=0&pv_p=1&ev_p=0&type=calc&AL=2;9;8&AK=2;3;8&AZ=0;10;5&AR=1

etc. etc.

for example AZ

if you want to change AZ to Republican write AZ=2;10;5 instead of AZ=0;10;5

The first number always is the party 0=Grey, 1=DEM, 2=GOP, 3=Green

The second number is the number of EVs.

The 3rd is the winning percentage. For example 5 means 50% or more.

Have a nice time creating your maps

Ah yeah, and remove Quincies quotation marks after you created your map.

Thanks Tender, but that is a ridiculous amount of work, don't you think?

Not at all. Takes only 1 or 2 minutes. And you don´t have to change all states as most of them are already grey and others are non-competetive. For example you don´t have to change IL as it will be Democratic next year. You only have to change about 5-10 states. (CO, MN; OR ...)

If you play with percentages too, then it takes longer.

As for my prediction:

D+2 (CO, NH)

MN, VA and ME may become competetive later on.
