Yahoo! Political Dashboard

My road to Obama's 270

I LOVE Yahoo!’s Political Dashboard and it’s electoral college map! Check it out!

One of the things I love the most is that you’re able to create your own “scenarios” and save them / send them to friends. In the scenario I laid out, I was VERY generous to McCain — far more so than the polls have been over the last month — and gave him several battleground/Bush 2004 states like OH, NC and FL as well as some where he really trails badly like MO and VA.

Even after my largess, Obama wins 274 – 260. I can’t see ANY realistic path to 270 for McCain. No wonder his campaign has been so erratic and flailing lately, making Joe the plumber his new BFF.
