Whyterain, no matter what you say, I will never take you seriously. You have Oregon, Minnesota and Maryland going GOP in your 2012 map. If you honestly believe any of those scenarios will occur, you clearly are undeserving of being taken seriously.
Let me correct this, he indeed does not have Maryland going GOP, but he does have the following states going GOP:
Oregon, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Iowa, Wisconsin, Maine (and both CDs,) New Hampshire and Pennsylvania going GOP. Now, I'm of the belief that Wisconsin and Pennsylvania
might go GOP, but for the most parts, those other states won't.
Back in 2009, I predicted the GOP to win only 50 seats in the 2010 elections. (I think it's too easy to make predictions after August of the election year.) The GOP won 63. If anything, right now I think I may be giving Obama too much credit at 191 electoral votes. After all, Hoover and Carter won only six states each in their re-election tries. I'm giving Obama credit for 13.
You don't look at national and individual state polling, do you? You make your maps citing history and gut feeling, I'm guessing? Good lord.
