J. Sidney McCain III is going to win

And there's little to nothing anyone reading this can do about it. I expect the eventual electoral map to look identical (at most two states different, and if that a swap that gains (D) at most an electoral vote or two) to 2004.

I don't think Virginia is actually in play, I think that's a pipe dream. i don't see him carrying Colorado, and I don't think the Midwestern states that Kerry carried are as locked as polls would have us believe.

I agree that Michigan is not a lock. Nor, for that matter, is New Hampshire. The 2008 map looks much more like 2000 than it does 2004.
