Last month, I made an electoral college map that showed both Obama states and the Republican, (likely Romney) states. Back then it was Obama 266, the Republican, 186. Time for an update. A couple of changes, but nothing earth shattering to my projections.

Obama states; Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, DC, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii (22 states plus DC for 273 electoral votes)

Republican, (Romney) states; Alaska, Montana, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, West Virginia, South Carolina, Arkansas. (25 states, 203 electoral votes)

Toss up states; Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, (3 states, 62 electoral votes)

My electoral map as of 2/14

With his "Win" in Iowa and all the polls showing him with a major lead in New Hampshire, a new CNN/Time poll has Mitt Romney way out in front in South Carolina.

According to the poll, Romney has 37% of the vote. Rick Santorum is next with 19%, Third is Newt Gingrich with 18% and fourth is Ron Paul at 12%

If Romney can keep this lead he has in South Carolina, then the race could be all over.

NBC correspondent Richard Engel is seen here in a photo with the gate closed and the last soldiers are now out of Iraq. So our long national nightmare in that hellhole called Iraq, officially has come to an end.

However the US got in there, the 4500+ Americans and the countless hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians killed in this meaningless Republican, (and many Democrats too) fiasco cannot be forgotten from our memories. What also cannot be forgotten are the many lies the totally incompetent Bush administration told and were swallowed by the American press corps and the members of Congress who acted like sheep when the time came to put up or shut up.

Yes, we are out of Iraq, but that cannot erase the criminality of George Bush, Dick Cheney and the whole Bush gang. It also cannot erase the pain and suffering of our brave men and women who were there.

I really don't know if he can. He may not have too considering all the blue states he won in 2008. But to expect this to happen again is simply not possible. I see the following states as either toss ups, or having the chance to turn red in 2012. Electoral votes in parenthesis.

Florida (29)
Ohio, (18)
Pennsylvania (20)
Virginia (13)
North Carolina (15)
Indiana (11)
Nevada (6)
Colorado (9)
New Mexico (5)
New Hampshire (4)

That's 130 electoral votes that in my opinion, could be up for grabs. Knowing that Obama will not win all those states, he might have to look at a red state that McCain won in 2008, or will he hold on to the majority of those states, so he wouldn't need to win a red state?? What red states could he possibly pick up next year??

Shepard Smith and Juan Williams were on studio B yesterday, and they were talking about the battle in Wisconsin. Smith said that Gov. Walker was being heavily influenced by the Koch brothers, and this was nothing more than union busting. Williams mostly agreed with what Smith was saying

This went against everything the Faux channel wants to say about Wisconsin. I commend both Shep and Juan for actually saying what this fight is all about.

Listen to it here.

As if we needed any more examples of global warming, and how it is getting worse as James Inhofe and his gang of environmental rapists don't give a damn, data from The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA), came out with some shocking numbers about this year's global temperatures.

According to the National Climate and Data Center, the months January through September ties 1998 for the warmest average global temperatures in recorded history. For the year to date the average temperature was 58.67 degrees. That is a whopping 1.17 degrees above the 20th century average.

The combined global land and ocean temperature for September 2010 also tied 1998 for the eighth warmest month on record at 59.9 degrees.

New polling from Gallup indicates that Barack Obama's approval amongst independents is down to 38%, and down 16% since July. of 2009. During that same period, Democratic support is down 9%, from 90% to 81%, and Republican support is actually up to 12%. While that is up 1% from April of this year, it is down 9% from July of 2009.

Obama's approval ratings are about on par from where previous presidents have been. Ronald Reagan has an approval rating of 42% in his second year in office. Bill Clinton had a 43% rating and Jimmy Carter had a 40% rating.

Overall, 46% of Americans approve of the way Obama is handling his job. That is a point above his lowest weekly average.

Yes folks, Barack Obama has once again put his foot in his mouth, and spouted off some nonsense that even made the most ardent Obama supporter scratching their heads in amazement.

Obama was speaking in Reading Pa. the other day, comparing the Republican policies against the Democratic policies, when he blurted out the following

"You have a real choice in this election. Either Democrat would be better than John Mc.Cain, and all three of us would be better than George Bush".

If there were any doubt that Keith Olbermann has his lips squarely kissing the backside of Barack Obama, last night show completely put that to rest.

Olbermann started his show last night with some poll numbers. They indicated that Obama is cutting into Hillary Clinton's lead in Pennsylvania. He showed a Quinnipiac poll that had Clinton up by only 6%. Then he showed a poll from Indiana, (I forget from who), that showed Obama with a 5% lead over Clinton in that state. Then he went on to pontificate that the latest Obama dust-ups are nothing more than Republican inspired media hype, and attacked Hillary for even having the audacity to bring them up.

For years now, KO has repeatedly accused Fox news of being unfair and unbalanced. A charge that is absolutely true, and anyone who doesn't see, is either blind, or stupid. But as Keith rails against Foxnews, he should take a look in the mirror at himself. He has become just as bad, if not worse than the people he accuses.

A new gallup poll came out this morning that suggest that if Barack Obama gets the nomination for president, almost 30% of Hillary Clinton supporters will back John Mc.Cain for president, rather than Obama.

The poll found that 28% will back Mc.Cain, while 19% of Obama supporters will back Mc.Cain if Hillary is the nominee. Meanwhile, only 59% of Clinton supporters will vote for Obama this November, while 72% of Obama supporters will back Clinton this fall.

Now I know a good portion of Clinton supporters will not follow through on the threat to back Mc.Cain, but lets say half of them do. You add the 15% of Clinton supporters that will vote Mc.Cain, to the people voting for Ralph Nader, which might be another 1-3%, then add the people who are just sick and tired of politics as usual, who aren't going to vote, and that adds up to a pretty healthy chunk of people who will not vote for Obama.

I, like many others were quite surprised by Hillary Clinton's win last night. All the polls before yesterday, gave Barack Obama a clear lead, and it looked like Hillary was going to suffer her second stinging defeat.

But lo and behold, the people of New Hampshire, a state I used to live in. rose up and basically told the pollsters, to kiss off, and put Hillary back on the map. I am first and foremost a Bill Richardson supporter, but Hillary is my second choice, and it did my heart good last night to see her triumph. Now, it's on to South Carolina, Nevada, and then super Tuesday to pick the nominee who will hopefully crush whoever the Republicans nominate.
