Holy fucking shit!! Have you looked at the electoral map recently

[Dark]

375 votes! Plus Montana, Georgia and N. Dakota as the battleground states!

Contrast that with where Kerry was in 2004:



Look at all that blue!

Grandpa's goin DOWN!

[azmouse]

1. Blue is such a pretty color!

I check that map every day. It puts a smile on my face.

[abumbyanyothername]

3. Wishing you are swimming in a pool of blue

at your home on election night, azmouse.

[Dark]

12. It is nice to be able to throw that in the Republicans' face, especially after 2004

nt

[Higher Standard]

2. Based on polling this weekend, we may see AZ go pink by week's end

Regardless, it's refreshing to see so much blue on the map so close to election day.

[Alexander]

37. AZ has already gone pink on Pollster.com.

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. Thanks for the contrast with the 2004 electoral map

[Dark]

13. No prob. It providesa good example of just how far we've come

It's going to be a landslide!

[underpants]

5. The fact that Indiana alone is not RED is telling

NC too

Obama simply forced the issue there AND, if we remember, Dems picked up 3 House seats-each- in Indiana and Kentucky in 2006.

[whitewomenforobama]

6. beautiful!

thank you for the kerry comparison map, i've been looking for one!

[BeatleBoot]

7. Keep up the Good Work!

We have come too far

And it has been too long

Hold these pricks' feet to the fire until the last friggin' hanging chad is counted.

8 days.

[TuxedoKat]

8. Big change for South Dakota too (nt)

[malletgirl02]

9. Exciting

There a potential for a historical electoral realignment

[Tribetime]

10. Even if it's Iowa, Colorado, and New Mexico + Kerry states we win

although it could on the other hand near 400 electoral votes

[lostnotforgotten]

11. Red - Angry Republicans ---- Blue - Peaceful Democrats!

eom

[Smuckies]

14. Wow...

Nice comparison. A little disappointing to see Kerry had WV more than Barack does, but Barack makes up for it with Florida and Ohio. And look @ that Indiana change.

[Jacobin]

15. 50 state strategy of Howard Dean and a wonderful candidate

Way better than this one:

[Joe the Liberal]

16. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Thats great!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Tesla]

17. I love it!!

[Stardust]

26. I had that map on a bumpersticker that said "I see dumb people" -

Yours is funnier *Snort*

[flygal]

35. I liked the one that called the red country the United State of Texas

:rofl:

[usregimechange]

18. What is the date on that Kerry map?

[Quixote1818]

24. It's October 26th.

[TragedyandHope]

19. This map is more accurate

[Courtesy Flush]

20. I'm keeping my fingers crossed

I live in Louisiana. Neither candidate campaigns here because it's presumed to be a gimmie for McCain. I hope like hell Obama carries my state. He doesn't NEED my state, or any red state to win (do the math) but I would gain so much satisfaction from it.

[merh]

25. Though Mississippi will probably never go blue

the republicans internal pollings must have them frightened, the special interests negative campaigning is going full tilt and Thad Cochran is running a campaign ad (narrated by Fred Thompson), I can't recall the last time Cochran spent money on campaign ads.

[Elle1993]

21. The fact that Georgia is even light pink is just beyond me.

[bunkerbuster1]

34. Yeah, it's like, if you give African-Americans a reason to vote...

they will vote.

About time the Democrats fielded someone that inspires this kind of turnout. Hope they've learned their damn lesson.

[krawhitham]

22. sure is pretty

[kayakjohnny]

23. I agree with the excitement of your post, but by the same token, the first 3 words

do lend to some uncomfortable mental images. Religion, sex, and poop. And they certainly don't belong in the same breath, as it were. But kudos on the exuberance.

[SallyMander]

27. What's up with Arkansas?

It's about the only state that's gone in the Republican direction (from toss-up to dark red)... Well AZ went light to dark red, but that makes sense since McCain's from there...

[Blue Belle]

28. I really think we have a great chance of turning...

Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, Georgia and Arizona blue as well. We can't give up though... with all the voter fraud and intimidation we can't let up one iota. We need this election and we need it by a huge majority.

[quakerboy]

29. all this blue is almost

I dunno. I get bored. When the "can we win" question is so clear, I start thinking of other things.

Did you know that it is possible to win the electoral college with only 11 states(I'm pretty sure thats the smallest number possible)?

Interesting, the more so when you realize Obama is polling ahead in all but 2 of those 11.

That also Means it is possible to loose while still winning in 39 states.

[my3boyz]

30. Hawaii was leaning Republican in 2004?????? I thought Hawaii was

one of the blue states?

[flygal]

36. The last week it was a swing state and Gore and Cheney made last min visits

and the next day it was blue - I guess the contrast of the two woke a few people up. PLUS - there was word that the polling included many military who's votes were to be actually cast absentee in other states.

[WhiteTara]

31. thank you Howard Dean! n/t

[goodboy]

32. Ohio will go blue, WV will go red. I'll take 20 over 5 (nt)

[renie408]

33. Isn't it CRAZY to see so much blue in the MIDDLE??? n/t

[GetTheRightVote]

38. The mid-west got hurt big time by Bush so it is not weird to see blue there...

:bounce:

[tosh]

39. I want to make just a couple of teeny adjustments .

I want Florida's beautiful blue outline to be solid and Georgia's pink outline to be blue.

Think we can get that done by Friday?
