I think you give the Republicans too much credit in the southern states. GA will go Republican but I don't see all of LA, MS, AL and the Carolinas going red. It will be close again and the loosing party will once again say that the elected president will win without a majority vote.
I would be extremely surprised if he carries all of them. He may carry most of them but living in the south I can tell you there are too many low income blacks in Alabama and Louisianna for a Republican to carry them all. Not exactly politically correct but what I see.
I went to the web-site, played around and instantly became depressed (well, not really)...but disheartened. I figure that Alan is right. Colorado and New Mexico could yet go either way. I doubt Ohio or Florida will break for Obama, I don't see really any other break through states for him other than what all already predicted.
I think your disappointment is premature, anything can happen. Take the Broncos-Chargers game last week. The Broncos went for two in the waning moments of the game and won. Perhaps Obama (or McCain if he is behind at the time) will discover an angle and leap ahead in the last moments.
I also play around with the electoral map as polls change. There are many depressing scenarios for conservatives as well.

If John McCain loses any of the Southern states, he can't win.
According to the polls, McCain is ahead or well ahead on all those States.

Oh well....at least most you will be happy.
