Electoral votes aren’t given by county, so your graphic, while interesting, is ultimately meaningless. By any measure, the electoral vote tally in 2004 was a squeaker. Had the single state of OH gone the other way, Kerry would have been president, and this election is shaping up to be more of the same.

I think Freepers are way, way overconfident right now and we all know that “pride goeth before a fall.”

Electorally, McCain is fighting this election on red territory. With the singular exception of possibly NH, there are no blue state defections right now. All the battleground states this time around were red states in 2004. I will tell you from military history (yes, politics is war) that the guy fighting on his own territory usually loses.

McCain/Palin need to step it up.

You can use that argument for Maine and Nebraska, as I believe both of those states split their electoral votes. The rest award them as winner take all.

To insinuate that Bush drubbed Kerry electorally is nonsense.
