yep....too too early.

But its still fun to play with the electoral map....I can see how Obama can win w/o either OH or FL...by winning three out of four states that barely went for Bush in '04 - CO, IA, MO, NM - and holding all the Dem states in 04.

And if he can pick up OH (FL is less likely)....that puts him over 300....a significant win, if not a landslide.

But if he cant hold PA or MI...it might be alot closer.

In any case, its a game both campaigns are playing to determine how and where to allocate personal appearances and resources.
