Estimating Electoral Votes
Current Electoral Vote Predictor 2004 and Election Projection. Don't know how accurate this is, but this is one site that is predicting the vote. But basically the two sites (one Kerry and the other Bush) are predicting exactly opposite results.
Its interesting to see how close the popular vote could be but to see how wide the electoral one is likely to be.
That's because of the winner-take-all view.
Makes me really think that the electoral college should get the heave ho.
Also being dumb, I never realized that Texas had more electoral votes than New York. Or that Arizona has 10 votes and Washington state has 11. Wow, our state is actually kind of bit :-)
And, yes, it is an incredibly close election with most the country really "red states." Wow there are lots of places I could never live.
