call this just throwing a dart, rolling the dice, maybe a hunch.

i don’t have any analysis or research to back up this number but i like the way it looks so i am going to predict that barak obama wins with 333 electoral votes. it takes 270 of total 538 electoral votes, so i think this makes enough votes to signify a significant victory.

obama will need a strong mandate to lead in these times. if he gets a strong win, it will be due to the focused, well-organized and tireless two year campaign he ran.

just for kicks, i even assembled a possible scenario of states that would total 333 electoral votes:

- all the atlantic coastal states except south carolina and georgia, plus new hampshire

- wisconsin and all its bordering states

- nevada, new mexico and colorado

- all the pacific coastal states plus hawaii
