An interesting, simple program from the LA times, allowing us politically-minded folks to experiment with possible outcomes in the upcoming presidential election.
My scenario is as follows:
I think Obama will be able to carry the upper midwest and pacific northwest pretty easily. The problem, as usual, is in Ohio and Florida. He's going to have to win at least one of those to stay ahead (even if he manages to swing some smaller states, it won't be enough to compensate). Honestly, I think his chances in Ohio are better than in Florida, but both states have proven to be rather unpredictable.
