Being Taken Off Watch: Nebraska and New Jersey
Races To Watch: Minnesota and North Carolina


Minnesota has been very fluid so far and in all estimation will continue to be so. right now Norm Coleman holds one of his largest leads in this race but Al Frankin will come back. This
one will likely be leader switching till election day. and remember that polls are likely to be inaccurate because of the way Obama has changed the electorate. Obama's "New Voters" Will vote in the senate too.

North Carolina has been interesting. while many people are now saying the Dole will be
re-elected, they have not checked where the numbers come from. in a poll that leans to the right she is only up 2 points. the Russmussen (which has her up by 14) is a huge out lier.Obama's new electorate could have a Huge impact. For example, African Americans make up 22% of the over all Population of the state and in 2000 and 2004 they went 90.5% for the democrat. Obama could raise this percentage as well as the demographic's participation in the electoral Process. you could see a 3-9 point gap between the polls and the results because of Obama. Watch this Race.

Races To Watch: Florida, Georgia, Michigan, South Carolina and Indiana

In Florida Obama has Taken a slight lead over McCain while no one was watching. McCain's Off Shore drilling stance could cost him some votes Down there. Florida has been a key to GOP victory the last two elections and if the democrats win it, without substitution Obama will win, Period. The Primary Ordeal hurt the democrats and it is one of the few states where McCain has out raised Obama. If Florida goes to Obama McCain has no Hope.

Indiana remains Deadlocked. Obama holds his one point lead. this state is typically reliably republican but this year is an exception. in 2006 3 house seats changed control and an Obama win can put it in the tossup category for a long time to come. here is a real Democratic Opportunity.

South Carolina is the one state left in the 5 state belt (that is VA, NC, SC, GA and FL) of democratic Optimism that is still going to McCain. if the GOP looses 2-3 States in that belt they will loose the election.

Georgia has become a Subject of the Barr Effect. Bob Barr is Drawing 8% of the vote and has shrunken the McCain lead to 1. Because of the way Obama has changed the electorate it is in his hands right now. It could quickly fall out of them but if it doesn't The Democrats are in for a wild ride.

Michigan is the lone Kerry Tossup. It has suffered because of the primary incident but it remains, as of now, an Obama State. He has been Making an effort to get it to lean toward him, Both Edwards and Gore endorsed him there and it looks as though the fruits of his labor may soon pay off. If Both Michigan and Wisconsin go to Obama the GOP will have a very hard time finding a place to win from.

The Barr Effect Revised

I made Estimates a while ago on what Bob Barr would need to get to help Obama in the south. these numbers are in flux so here they are as of today. In parentheses is the percentage he is getting right now. (*-Obama is in the Lead):
AL- 23% (6%)
AR-17% (8%)
FL*-1% (N/A)
GA- 7% (6%)
IN*-1% (N/A)
KY-12% (N/A)
LA- 9% (3%)
MS- 9% (3%)
MO*-1% (N/A)
NC1- 6% (4%)
OK- Denied Ballot Access
SC- 6% (N/A)
TN- 16% (N/A)
TX- 13% (N/A)
VA*- 1% (N/A)
WV- 21% (13%
1-in my Estimation Obama is Taking North Carolina, But no polls indicate that yet.
Watch these Numbers.

Races To Watch: Indiana and North Carolina
North Carolina is the Race to watch. The Democrat has lost 4 Points since our last check and is Now just Hanging on by a thread. Right now I rate it as Leaning Dem. but that could change very, very quickly. an Edwards VP slot would help turn out Democrats and give Perdue an advantage, But if McCain Picks Jim Demint (Cringe) or Lindsey Graham from Neighboring South Carolina this race could easily begin to lean to the GOP.

The Momentum in Indiana has started to go to the right. Just a short time ago Thompson (D) was leading by 3 but today she Trails the Incumbent by 7 points. Indiana is Proving to be extremely Fluid. Expect this one to go down to the wire in November.

Avrige results of the last 5 elections

This is the AVERAGE electoral map of the last 5 elections courtesy of CQ politics . I believe this is unreliable for a few reasons. 1) Dukakus should have done better than he did. 2) Bill Clinton won in states where Obama will likely loose, even in the most generous of predictions (Kentucky and Tennessee). 3) Obama has changed the electorate so much so that a HUGE amount red states are in play. In this Map the electoral count is:Democrat 286 Republicans 252. The darker the color the more Liberal/ Conservative

Bush State by state Approval

Bushes Approval Rating is about 24%. According to survey USA he only has a positive Approval in two states: Utah and Wyoming, and an even Approval in 1: Idaho. The electoral count is: Anti-Bush 526 Pro-Bush 8 Tie 4

The Money Race: Democrats Vrs. Republicans

Today I posted the money race for Obama Vrs. McCain. now I am posting this map. this is a map of generic Democrats Vrs. generic Republicans. if the leading fund raiser is a democrat the state is blue. if it's a republican it's red. The electoral count is: Democrats 463 Republicans 75.
This is a third Potential Indicator of an Obama Land slide.

The Money Race: Obama Vrs. McCain

Yesterday I wrote about the Primary races and How they can be an early indicator of an Obama landslide. Today I looked up the Money race. McCain only Beats Obama in 6 states: Arizona, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, Florida and Michigan. Over all Obama has $234,745,000 to McCain's $76,269,000. If the Race goes the way the money does, Which happened in most states in 2004, the Electoral Count would be: Obama 461 McCain 77. Here is my Map.
This could be the second early indicator to an Obama landslide.

a change on my blog

I am Taking away the Delegate count witch now reads:
Republicans
X-McCain 1289 +1022
Romney 267
Huckabee 255
Paul 21
Democrats
X-Obama 2158
Clinton 1926
X- projected nominee
Bold-
Presumptive Nominee

and replacing it with an election guide, which will link data and have all kinds of numbers regarding the election.

Cook PVI's of every Congressional district

Charlie Cook has done the research to tell how Liberal or Conservative every congressional district. This is called a PVI or Partisan Voting Index. the numbers mean that is that much more Democratic or Republican than the national average. So D+5 would mean it votes for the Democrat an Average of 5% more than the national average. so here are all 435 Courtesy of Wikipedia:

[edit] New York

Some New York districts directly affected by 9-11 were more likely to vote for Bush in 2004 than in 2000. Most of the City districts in Staten Island, the outer boroughs, and Long Island, specifically NY-03 and NY-13, showed marked increases for the incumbent President in the 2004 election; the 2008 election should show whether it was a temporary or permanent shift to the Republicans. Similar results were shown in parts of New Jersey and Connecticut.
