McCain will win most, if not all, of the barely Republican states. Whether it is FL, MO, or NC does not matter. McCain will win in those states. What this does portend, however, is that Obama could win the popular vote but also lose the EC vote.

What?  McCain is "winning" those states right now.....and is losing.

So what others is he going to pick up that will make him a lock for the electoral vote?

 

 

 

I never said McCain was a lock for the EC vote. I said he would win most of the barely Republican states. Which, according to that particular map, are the states of FL, NC, IN and a few others. I believe he will win all of them. If he wins those states and OH, VA and CO by small margins, which is a distinct possibility, then McCain could win the EC vote but lose the popular vote.  

Gotcha.

It wouldn't be the first time a candidate did that.  Gore got the popular....but lost in 2000.  We're used to being the majority losers.
