What was your final map?

[Derek]

How do I put a map on here? Anybody help lol. I picked every state right in 2004.

[Derek]

maybe this will post my map

I also want to point out that with 9/11 and the California recount election, I thought that Bush would only lose New York and California by 5.

You know that's one state that I never worried about in 2004 was Ohio. Alot of Republicans were concerned, but I knew that the Republicans could win it based on social issues.

I thought Florida Democrats would turn out in huge numbers after what happend in 2000

They would have if it was a southern democrat. I don't think democrats in general really liked Kerry that much. Also, Bush's brother had been pretty popular throughout his first term and FL leans GOP anyhow. Florida was back and forth until the GOP convention that year for the most part.

IA isn't big by any means.

No but it's important as it's only a point or 2 to the left of the country. That was a 50/50 state that year.
