I've been playing with the EC map and this comes close....

With this projection from a puke, he is close to my prediction since Al Gore was running back in 2002.

I have Arkansas in the Dem corner, and that's my total victory.

Yet, I bet we may pick up a few more, But I won't bet on it.

I have a Kerry/Clark ticket at 338
and the Shrub/Bunker ticket at 200

There are a few toss-ups, Like Georgia, Colorado, and Arizona.

But that is my projection , 338 to 200. What is yours?

1. Since I last saw this map

We've flipped Nevada and Missouri, and Ohio and Florida have turned solid. Very satisfying.

My old prediction was just to flip Florida, so that's long gone.

I think Arizona, Colorado and Arkansas all have about the same threshhold at which they will turn. Much beyond that and it becomes a total rout.

8. arizona is totally in play people

as an activist on the ground here i can tell you that.

I'll know more when I work the polls at the municiple elections Tuesday

2. Arkansas will go blue

I live and work in the most conservative area of the state, and I have yet to hear anyone say anything nice about Shrub. I have heard a lot of Republicans say there's no way in h*ll they are going to vote for him this year.

7. 347? wow, Kerry still wins even if he loses FL and CA.

Some dopes are saying CA will be real close, but with these numbers, he can even win without it.

Im getting more confident by the week. By August this shit should look REAL good.

4. Wow, thats

a large turnaround of the map since the last time I looked at it. Lets hope this trend continues, diebold be damned.

5. The best thing is that this is mantained and projected by a GOPer

It is nice that he is honest and can do projections honestly, regardless of who he wants to win.

6. Arizona will go Blue/Colorado will stay Red

Clinton won Arizona in 1996 and it's been trending blue as the Californians moved in and the state grows and diversifies. I think even Barry Goldwater was voting for some Democrats in his latter days.

Colorado, on the other hand, seems to have an influx of evangelical Christians, while not the majority, they've given an important margin to Republicans. But it will be closer for Bush this time around there as it will be in every Red state.

With that said, if Bush lost the popular vote in 2000 and statewide polls show that his red state strength is weaker, then how can he pull this election out?

[DaveSZ]

9. Yep

With Clark we could sew up Arkansas, and steal more of the military vote from the pubs.

[elperromagico]

11. Now now. Let's not say "steal."

The Republicans steal votes. We will win them. :)

10. I don't trust this guy when he predicts a Bush victory,

and I'm not going to start trusting him now. But I hope he's right this once. ;)
