This is how I would LIKE to see the polls. And where does this fool get off when he uses a four-letter obscenity in here. Small timer. Jim Leavenworth, Grand Marais, Michigan

LOL what a fucking joke. You guys have Florida and colorado and wyoming , and NM listed as STRONG for bush? Are you on the pipe? For any poor misinformed reader who wants to know what the actual standings are go to google and type in "electoral college poll standings" pick 9/10 and you'll find one very similar to this.

If you read this page thinking its factual instead of a slanted right wing "poll" check you're facts.

Does Kerry have enough lawyers ready to challenge all those red states?

A rosy map
I'm notsosure about the alleged leads for Bush in New Mexico, Michigan or Pennsylvania and I'm certain that Virginia and North Carolina will go Republican. Nonetheless, the result Slate currently predicts would work fine by me.

I doubt Bush will get OH and PA both... maybe one of them.

Polls are for chumps. However...
When you see a map with that much red on it, you can't help but feel a little confident, even if that confidence is based entirely on fleeting, unreliable polling than can change at the drop of a hat.

Look At All That Red
Looks about right to me. (Go ahead and count North Carolina and Virginia as dark red, not light. Chalk it up to Southerner's Intuition.)

Slate Has Bush Dominating
Take a look at this map Slate has up forecasting the electoral college results of the election (via OTB). Holy crap, right? And the numbers they have up are even more shocking: Bush: 348 Electoral Votes (230 solid, 118 close)...

SurveyUSA is a perfectly respectable outfit. But only a handful of polls in the grid were done by them--or any single pollster.

And the poll was done by /SurveyUSA (aka my daughters 3rd grade class at Joe McCarthy Elementary school).

But I Thought Kerry Won the Debate?
James Joyner links to a Slate electoral map showing Bush ahead 348-190 in the electoral college. I am stunned, especially since I hear over and over from the media Kerry has won the debate and has assured voters he can...

Maybe they are trying to scare the Dems into action. However this seems likely to depress them.
