Rasmussen looks at the electoral college

The Rasmussen site has an interesting feature that looks at how the electoral college is shaping up this fall. Given the latest round of polling, it has the electoral college at 284 votes for the Democrat. But what is most interesting is how it projects what the likely battleground states will be - CO, FL, IA, MO, NH, NM, NV, OH, VA. I also not convinced that Arizona and Arkansas won't end up being in play but let us see.

So after all this money, time, debating etc it will all come down to these 9 states. 9 states. Will more come into play? Perhaps. But for now I agree with this first cut.

For a good visualization of the possible 2008 electoral college map look through the end of our recent report, Hispanics Rising.
