Do you always have to post a map where a democrat wins?

No, go look at several of my McCain maps; I have, however, never seen you give a victory to the Democrats, care to explain?

[JSojourner]

I think McCain is a strong national candidate for the GOP.  And I think Hillary is exceptionally vulnerable.  Bottom of the ticket candidates don't have much of an impact anymore.  However, if Hillary chose Ted Strickland, she could wrest Ohio from McCain.

I chose McCain to win Florida, New Hampshire and Michigan with much uncertainty.  He performs well in New Hampshire.  Florida's Bible belt voters will ALL vote for him and enough seniors will swing his way, partly because he's "one of them".  (I realize Hillary is strong in Florida, so maybe she wins there.)

I think Republicans may win Michigan this year -- with Romney or McCain stumping just the right way on automotive issues.

Anyway -- there it is.  My two cents, for what it's worth.  (Substantially less than two cents, I think!)

 I would agree with this map, except I would switch North Carolina for McCain. Easely could do very well there, but I just can't see it being enough for a Hillary win.

My Doublepenny-

Clinton will still do well on the Mississippi and McCain is still polling with the national average in CO, but ahead in NM. With two populist candidates, it could come down to WV.
