2012 Presidential Election Interactive Map and History of the Electoral College

Here's mine - at least what I think SHOULD happen. Probably not going to turn out like I want it to...

Good maps... obviously still in flux ... and there is of course the foreign policy disaster under way as we speak ... that should help right?

According to all the polls being released it is a done deal.

All polls save a couple have a 60/40 left slant in the sample ... Rassmussen last three day is the most recent... too much time still until the election ... as history depicted for us when Reagan beat Carter.

I am afraid Obama will win re-election. I've never really thought differently because the Republicans can't seem to find a decent candidate and America is too stupid to vote Libertarian the way they should.

Our (America's) only hope is to get enough Conservatives in Congress to block him at every turn. Four years from now we'll have Hillary to deal with, but at least she has a spine.

I argee with you but for one thing. Obama has totally ignored Congress and legislated from the White House. So, having a Conservative Congress may not be able to block the damage that will be done over the next four years.

Our only real hope is that enough liberals hear and believe the poll results and stay home on election day. Obama's followers are substantially un-motivated this time around. Let's all start praying for heavy rain in all the battle ground states on election day.

I think Obama is headed for re-election also, but if the Repubs can gain control of the Senate and hold onto the House, I think the country will move in the right direction.

Obama can afford to legislate around Congress because the Dems control the Senate, right? If the Repubs take over, with their combined control of the House & Senate, they can prevent this practice of Obama doing end-runs around Congress, right?

I think we're living in post-Constitutional America.

Obama is reelected and it will not matter if there are veto-proof supermajorities in both chambers of Congress - he will rule through executive orders and regulations.



Anyone else map up their own map on that site? The first link I had posted was based on current polling and the 2nd one how I thought it would shake out.

Curious how others see some of these battleground state going...
