Romney doesn't take Massachusetts?

OK guys, predictions for how many EVs Ben will predict for Romney? I say 400.
I predict that BK will predict 444 EVs for Romney.

444 electron volts isn't near enough.

I just want to know whether ben hands DC to Romney or not.
Also I agree with Jaguar's map, except I would also give Iowa to Romney. Tough call though, a bunch of Evangelicals might stay home. I think in a Romney-victory map, New Hampshire would also go likely red.
Anyway here's my map. New Hampshire I'm kind of on the fence about.

Well, here:
303
235
I think the case for a blue Virginia is vastly overstated. It relies on a lot of coal-miner democrats (IE de fact West Virginians) voting for him and good minority turnout.

Too lazy to post the map image. Mine's the same as Jaguar's except for New Hampshire going for Romney. Romney 270 - 268 Obama.

Why do you think NH is more likely to go red than iowa? I'd like to hear your reasoning.

New Hampshire is Romney's de facto home state and he's generally well-liked there.
Fair enough, that makes sense. If it were say, Rick Perry or some more southern or religious republican, I would guess that Iowa would flip red before NH though.
In that case I'd revise my map to have both Iowa and NH.

With Tevatron shut down, the US doesn't produce many electron volts anymore.
I strongly doubt Virginia is going to go for Obama again, considering Bob McDonnell.

No, it relies on good turnout among younger voters.
493-43

Please explain to me your logic in deciding that Obama can win Mississippi Alabama, and South Carolina.
Unless you colored Romney blue and Obama red, in which case, how does Obama get Utah, and how does Romney get Hawaii?

It would also depend on very good turnout among blacks in the corridor between Richmond and Hampton Roads, which is unlikely to meet the 2008 levels. Minority voter registration has declined from 2008 and Virginia and North Carolina are states where this is going to be very significant.

What, you think Virginia has enough college students to elect Obama? That wasn't what won him Virginia last time, gribbler.

More importantly, how does Obama win Texas?

God I ****in hate Romney.
Virgil Goode polls > 5 percent. They did a poll with Goode in VA and it showed Romney down 12 in Virginia. My map assumes that Goode runs and does well, splitting the vote.More importantly, how does Obama win Texas?

By "younger voters" I don't specifically mean people aged 18-22. His support was far stronger among voters under 30. If you think stupid rednecks (you call them West Virginians) are what won him Virginia I don't believe you. His performance was lousy among whites with no college.
Good Christians will never tolerate a Mormon in the White House.

I think it was mainly high turnout among blacks in the southeastern area of Virginia and the growing population of the Northern Virginia region. But the main regions, iirc, of democratic support in VA are the coal mining rednecks in the southwest, blacks and other minorities in the southeast, and Northern Virginia.
