McCain represents little change for the United States, as he has changed himself from an independent Republican to a Bush-clone. If America chooses McCain, we will only have ourselves to blame for another Bush-like term. If Obama wins, we can see if his speeches were just empty rhetoric or had more substance than even his followers could have imagined. I am quite upset that so much time is spent on only two candidates when there are several in this race. Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente have my vote because they embody values that the un-dynamic duo clearly lack. Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, and Ralph Nader also could chip away votes from the very paltry McCain campaign, losing electoral votes you believe he will get. This race is more interesting than the binary treatment the media give it. Obama should win in a land-slide, I think this May ‘08 map is quite incorrect.

One joker to watch is in the south, especially places like Mississippi where 37% of the electorate is black. Assuming htat Obama racks up about 90-95% of that ggroup, he only needs 25% of the white vote (primarily form young and better educated) to take a state that hasn't voted Dem since 1956.

The rules become a single vote for each state in the House of Representatives. Assuming the House Representatives follow the pattern of their constituents, the Republican candidate wins the highest number of states. Senator Obama )or Clinton) better hope against a tie.

Puerto Rico does not have ANY electors in the electoral college. Mike, that’s because this map, as a general election prediction, has nothing to do with the primaries.

Puerto Rico will provide a lot of delegates for GOP and Democrats and they count for these primaries! Where is Puerto ico in the MAPS?
