it's a pretty optimistic map. missouri, indiana and north carolina are all toss-ups right now and i've decided to toss them to my candidate. karl rove's map has essentially the same prediction without those three. MT and ND are also close enough to go blue. but i have a hard time believing obama will win all the states that are close and i got to draw the line somewhere.
anyway, it's a guess. not a blind guess, but a semi-educated one.1 we'll see how wrong i am soon enough.

1- i'm just referring to my state-by-state predictions here. predicting an obama win is pretty safe at this point.
