States Political Party Map
2008 Presidential Electoral College Map?
OK. So I don’t want any responses that bash liberals, democrats, republicans, etc. I just want an honest, objective (if thats possible) prediction of which states will go Democratic and which will go Republican. With the political climate as it is right now, the map may look significantly different than the last one. but things between now and 2008 can change too. But I think as of now, we have to look at each state and its current political climate.
here are my predictions:
AL-R
AK-R
CT-D
ME-D
VT-D
MA-D
RI-D
NH-D
NJ-D
PA-D
DE-D
MD-D
VA-D
NC-R
SC-R
GA-R
MS-R
LA-D
TX-R
TN-R
KY-D
IN-R
OH-D
MI-D
IL-D
WV-D
FL-D
OK-R
KS-R
WY-R
CO-D
NE-R
IA-D
WI-D
MN-D
MT-D
SD-R
ND-R
ID-R
WA-D
OR-D
CA-D
AZ-R
NM-D
NV-R
UT-R
HI-D
MO-D
AR-R
Washington DC-D
Let me know your unbiased opinion on this issue, which states you agree/disagree on, etc. And I dont want people bashing political parties/ideologies here. I’m just calling it as I see it.
Looks like you missed NY. By electoral vote the count as you’ve suggested would be 369 to the Dems, and 169 to the Reps, assuming NY went Dem.
I think it all depends on the candidates:
If Giuliani is the Republican nominee, could he take NY? He’d probably pull the upstate vote, and if he got enough of the city, it may be possible. If he’s running against Hillary, what would that do? NY might actually be a swing state…
Or if the Republican governor of MA is the nominee, could he take his own state? Mitt might.
You may have missed some of the smaller states – I’m not sure about VA, WV, or MT going Dem, but in general, I think you’re probably close.
The most important thing is the bottom line number, and I think it highly unlikely, unless there’s a major blowup on the Democratic ticket, for the Republicans to pull in the necessary electoral votes.
