It seems fitting to go ahead and analyze the electoral map now that Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination and the general election has begun.
Electoral-vote.com takes the average of polling data for each state and predicts a winner in that state. It's early in the race so many states have little polling data available. Some states polling data is very old.
Right now they predict a fairly easy win for Obama. I'll post changes to this map on occasion.
| Pickups (vs. 2004) | Electoral College Votes | |
| Obama: | CO IA MO NM OH | 287 |
| McCain: | MI | 227 |
| Tie | 24 |
