map science

looks like the election may come down to pennsylvania. and theres a fairly plausible 269-269 scenario. other states in play: florida tennessee colorado wisconsin iowa nevada minnesota michigan and arizona. possibly arkansas and virginia. my guesstimate today was kerry 270 bush 268. that required a win in nevada tennessee iowa minn michigan and penn but losses in florida colorado virginia and arkansas. click on the interactive map and make your own predictions.
