I posted a website to see electoral maps throughout the election, but this page is even better. It shows what each state was before it changed, what is became, the delegate votes for Obama and McCain, and the RCP average at the time.
Here it is!
From these maps and the data, I have noticed some key changes which could account for the change in the electoral votes for each of the candidates. Earlier this month:
1) Florida was leaning Obama, and is now toss up- again!
2)Washington was leaning Obama, and is now solid Obama
3)Montana was leaning McCain, then solid McCain, and is now leaning McCain
4)Wisconsin and Michigan were leaning Obama, and are now solid Obama
5)Georgia was Solid McCain, and is now leaning McCain
These changes indicated one thing all around- McCain is not doing as well as he was earlier in the general election. Today, I heard that he is stepping up to the knotch in speaking more to the people about the issues and is getting to meet more people.
This IS what he needs to do- and WELL to get some of these states to back him once again.
