Electoral Map
 
There is bad news for John Kerry. The electoral map favors Bush. In part it is because of population shifts. The red states in the south and west continue to gain population at the expense of the blue states. Only one blue state, California, has gained electoral votes since 2000. The other reason is that our candidate is not the best. He still can't give swing voters a coherent reason to vote for him. The details are here, the map is here.
