So if the general election took place today what would the electoral map look like?

Here is McCain Vs. Obama

 These polls would put Obama at 261 and McCain at 268…The white of Colorado means the latest polls shows a tie…This confirms my long standing belief that Colorado (a long time Republican stronghold) could end up being the Florida or Ohio of 2008…If the map looked like this whoever won Colorado would win the White House.

There are a couple of things I like and a couple of thigns i don’t like about this map…Obama looks to be in fairly good shape in Ohio, Pensylvania and New Jersey (big time states). And I am still impressed with the fact that the polls show him up in North Dakota. I also like that he could cause the Republicans to spend money in Texas and South Carolina…TEXAS for crying out loud…I don’t like seeing New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Michigan red.

Here his the McCain vs. Clinton Map:

These polls would put McCain at 273 and Clinton at 265. If things play out like this McCain wins…Clinton has talked a lot about how she can win in the bigs states. This map shows that. She wins Florida, Ohio and Pensylvania but she still looses. How is that? Well…She looses in Washington and Oregon (those states haven’t been red since 1984), she looses Michigan and Wisconsin…Loosing those four states basicaly cancel out Ohio and Pensylvania…What about Colorado? While Obama has it tied Clinton looses it by 14%.
