To: Always Right
I doubt if either party has 250 ev's locked. There are numerous states that could flip either way.I consider the following states a lock for the Dems: California [55], NY [31], NJ [15], MA [12] , MD [10], CT [7], Del [3], DC [3], HI [4], Ill [21], OR [7], RI [4], VT [3], and WA [11]. I am leaving out MI [17] and MN [10]. This totals: 186

That's what I'm thinking, too. Pawlenty on the GOP ticket could very well give win Minnesota. A more populist candidate like Hunter would have a good chance of taking Michigan.
Even if this article's scenario doesn't play out, there is a chance of another President, likely the Republican candidate, being elected without a plurality of the "popular vote"*.
That of course is trivial, because there is actually no such thing as a popular vote for President, but expect a serious effort to abolish the Electoral College if it does happen.

I think Ill, and possibly Mich and Minn could be in play for the GOP — especially if Fred Thompson is the nominee.
