Found this site while google fuing for other maps.

Basically a little election simulator. I went through about a dozen or so results that I believe are possible. The end result was nearly equal between Dems and Reps.

Just curious to find out what some of your predictions for the electoral map. Maybe we can bump this when the time comes and see if anyone was right.


This is my final result, not to confident with it, but... a guess is a guess.

Without knowing the GOP candidate, its hard to predict anything as obtaining the nomination tends to alter polls significantly.

True.

I say give the Red ones to the Republicans (Willard), and the Blue ones to President Obama.
The toss ups we d6. Can be just as reliable as predicting.

My map, using current poll numbers and past voting trends:

Wow Florida going blue.

As I stated earlier I had a dozen or more outcomes I came out with.

If the Rep. party have Marco Rubio as the VP candidate, I think Dems lose Florida easily.

Like I said, that's just based on current numbers and past votes. My predictions will change once Romney, or anyone else, gets the nomination.

I don't see how it could be anyone but Willard.

I think Dogma has it pretty much right. A key state will be Ohio, and which way that goes.

I couldn't tell in my 30 second glance what the greyed out states represented?

Neutral states, basically the ones that are too close given current polls and their past affiliations.
