The map is a prediction. It means absolutely nothing. I guess we just gotta wait until Nov. 2nd.

It's not even offical, it's just what CNN believes. A lot of empty state are red. If you fly over most those middle states, ain't no one in them. That's what gets me pissed. California is 1/7 of the nations population, yet only represents 55/538 of the electoral college, or about 1/10 of the vote. This makes a person in California's vote count as less than someone who lives in a small state. Not everyone's vote is equal. All that red is very misleading, NO ONE LIVES THERE. Who's voting for Bush, the dirt.

Oh, by the way, I'm sure by election day, states like Wisconsin, Ohio and New Hampshire will vote Democrat like they traditionally do.

You sound so defensive, what's the problem? I didn't say anything about the chart, I only posted it.  I thought it would be interesting... then you start giving me excuses for why it looks the way it does.  How does it look to you?  I'm in N.C., in a city with 1.5 million people in the urban area... so in your opinion, "nobody" lives here since we're a red state?  Ahm Confused.

yep, on my flights from Cali to Minnesota and back, there is nothing but red states between, and if you look out the airplane, there is nothing but dirt and maybe a farm.
