As they close and a winner is likely. The expected winner boxes are my own opinion, and won't change -- so you get to see how well I predicted.

Without a doubt, the three most important states are Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, known as FLOHPA. The candidate who takes two of these three states (all of which are too close to call an expected winner for) will more likely than not become President.

If Kerry wins 2 of FLOHPA, Bush will need to take 2 democratically leaning states. I'm not sure how well the trend reciprocates though.

That is a very spiffy map.

What do you think about Michigan? I keep hearing we are a battleground state on different networks, but MI generally goes blue, so I was surprised to see people saying how important our state was.

I know Kerry will be in Detroit sometime today if he isn't already.

More likely than not, Michigan will go Kerry; the polls have been leaning in that direction with consistency for a while now. But it's close enough that it's not completely certain (like, say, Illinois). If Kerry runs 2 states in FLOHPA, Michigan is one of the blue states that Bush will have to conquer to recover, since it's the fourth largest "battleground" state. I know who I'm voting for.

I predict it to be a strong Kerry win.

While I'm somewhat confident Kerry will win due to the Redskin's loss yesterday, I have to consider that the Red Sox won the World Series this year so anything is possible.
