Hillary Clinton Winner if Election Held Today
Taylor Marsh has a fascinating post with an electoral map breakdown if the presidential election were held today instead of in the fall.
Marsh notes that according to electoral-vote.com, "if the election were held today between Clinton and McCain or Obama and McCain," no ifs ands or buts, Hillary conclusively wins.
