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.
Obama ties Colorado and North Carolina for 21 electoral votes; this doesn't exactly make up the loss, but don't worry; keep on believing...until hope slaps you in the face and you are once again crying the blues in November.
