Why McCain is toast..
Notice the states NOT "given" to blue:)

Even if McCrabby runs the table, he still loses:)

5. Well, now without the red states...
...who would be there to "suck off the federal teat" while paying the least in taxes and complaining the entire time about the way "social programs are driving the federal budget up?"

2. MIssouri is not a done deal yet
It's moving in our direction, yes, but it would be foolish to paint it blue too soon.

6. where's your total?? I don't think he'll win Alaska
I used to, but with Mrs Moose on Mccain's plate, I think they will vote for her:(

CNN's map is not as good as the WaPo site's:)

13. OK, you have a better map and you can ad;)
Fixed it. I do like the Wash Post map better. CNN probably switches votes too;)

I'm concerned that there are still factions in MSM that say, "Oh, it's going to be close."

That is so far out there. I want to see how TIA stacks up to the VoteMaster. People asked the VoteMaster if he was right last time. He has a whole page on methodology (he had Kerry winning) and was unapologetic.

When TIA disappeared for a few months (not when he was sick, before that), I emailed the VoteMaster and asked if he was TIA. He never responded but on Wiki, tons of edits started disappearing related to who was TIA etc. Very interesting.

He shouldn't be close. If it's close or McCain "wins," they will have to do such contortions,
it will be obvious. Here's

btw, here's a conservative vote projection site, very conservative.
