"Here is how I have it.
Bush wins Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin...Kerry wins New Mexico, Oregon, Illinois, Maine, New Jersey.
In all I have 5 toss-ups.
Penn, Ohio, Florida, Iowa and New Hampshire.
Under this scenario Bush has won without any of the toss-ups. Is this LA Times thing broken???
Bush- 281, (270 needed to win). Kerry-205 --- 52 electoral votes up for grabs.
See if its the same on your computer."
_______________________
I think you did not enter your selections as you thought.
I got your results by allocating Florida to Bush. So you only had 4 tossups, PA, IA, OH, and NH.
Kerry gets his 205 from DC, MA, ME, NY, RI, CT, NJ, DE, MD, WA, OR, CA, NM, IL, MN and HI.
Bush gets his 281 from FL, GA, SC, NC, VA, WV, KY, IN, MI, WI, KY, TN, AL, MS, LA, AR, MO, TX, OK, KS, NE, SD, ND, MT, ID, WY, NV, UT, CO, AZ, and AK.
see post #40. I added Fla for Bush by accident
What is with post #34 saying that Kerry will get Utah? I think not. In '96 Perot got more votes than Clinton in Utah. The chances of it going to a DEMONcrat anytime soon is next to none.
Actually it is none.
