Obama has the electoral map edge

By GottaLaff

Map via Votemaster. It's interactive, so go there and have fun.

Encouraging news:

Chuck Todd and colleagues update their electoral map projections.

Base Obama: CA, CT, DE, DC, HI, IL, MD, MA, NY, RI, VT (153 electoral votes)
Lean Obama: ME, NJ, MN, OR, WA (47 votes)
Toss-up: CO, FL, IA, MI, NV, NM, NH, OH, PA, VA, WI (138 votes)
Lean McCain: AR, GA, IN, LA, MS, MO, MT, NE, NC, ND (84 votes)
Base McCain: AL, AK, AZ, ID, KS, KY, OK, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, WV, WY (116 votes)

Bottom line: "While both McCain and Obama get to 200 when adding up their base and lean states, it's clear to see that Obama has an early edge with the map. Not only does he have a stronger base than McCain does (153 votes vs. 116), but he also has more potential pick-up opportunities."

Opportunity seems to be what Obama is all about, no matter where you look. It's wonderful to peek our noses over our little blankies, shed it along with the past 8 years, and begin to see our country begin to wake up and heal. It may sound cheesy, but dawn, a new day and all the rest of those crazy hopeful words.
