President Barack Obama(D-IL)/Vice President Joe Biden(D-DE):  348 EVs
Representative Ron Paul(R-TX)/Fmr. House Speaker Newt Gingrich(R-GA):  190 EVs

Ron is too far out there for the electorate to have had a shot at all, sadly.

Seems about right, though I would probably flip New Hampshire and Maine to Ron Paul and Arizona and Georgia to Obama.

I think NH and ME would be closer, but not enough, and GA and AZ would be against Obama enough to vote for Ron.

I could see MN and NM going to Paul while OH and NC go for Obama.
