This will be a quick diary because I just want to hear what people think about this. I was just taking a look at one of the websites that I haven't visited for awhile, Electoral-Vote.Com, and I realized that the maps show me something that I (an Obama supporter) don't want to believe.
Obama's map has the following as the final result: Obama 243 McCain 269 Ties 26
Clinton's map has the following as the final result: Clinton 291 McCain 237 Ties 10

When I saw that, my first thought was... what?!!
So my question is, can anybody reassure me about Obama's prospects for November? Because I'm feeling a little shaky about them right now.
Let's say Clinton's map actually turns out the way it looks right now, except for the fact that she wins Wisconsin (not too hard to imagine, I think): At that point, she beats McCain by 301 to 237. That's a shellacking!!!
Meanwhile, let's say Obama's map turns out the way it looks right now, except that he wins Pennsylvania and and loses Indiana and North Carolina (not too hard to imagine): At that point, he loses to McCain 264 to 274. I don't like that result.
Fellow Obama supporters, please assuage my concerns!
(Note: Although I have concerns, I am not a "concern troll." If you label me a concern troll then you must believe that no one on this site can ever voice concern about a preferred candidate. So please don't do that.)
