Like 47 other states, California allocates its Electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis. Similar proposals have been offered in about half the states. All of the proposals are contingent on approval by a combination of states representing 270 Electoral votes - the total required to elect a president. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the California bill, saying a change of that magnitude ought to be presented to the voters. He encouraged supporters to try that route. If this was on the ballot in 2010, how would you vote? Here's a Reader's Digest version of the arguments pro and con: Under the current system, supporters say, presidential elections are decided by a small handful of states in which the outcome isn't largely predetermined.

Bush in 2004. ** West Virginia moves from SOLID McCain to lean McCain; Missouri is once again a toss-up; New Hampshire and Pennsylvania move into Obama's category solidly. ** Indiana is on the cusp of moving from lean McCain to tossup. ** Though the McCain-Palin ticket traveled to eastern Iowa, public and private polling for Dems and Republicans shows Obama to be ahead by double digits. McCain's internal polling shows a deficit analogous to what the campaign believes is his national deficit -- about six points. ** West Virginia: There are two counties in the Washington, D.C.

Locked in ... Barack Obama talks to residents in Holland, Ohio. Photo: AFP On July 31, White House '08 projected an impending Obama victory in the Electoral College with 273 Electoral votes. This was premised on Barack Obama carrying all the states carried by Democrats Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004 - a safe bet even before the economic tsunami that is now dominating the campaign - with one key addition of Colorado to those blue states. ...
Here is how the Electoral college will go according to the latest polling. With 3 more weeks to go, a few more states will see the light and turn blue..like Indiana, Arizona and Alaska where the vote is already close.

CNN , NPR and USA Today both have interactive maps that allow you to play what-if with the Electoral vote map. I'm sure there are others. But I wish one of them allowed me to embed the map in my blog, and have it automatically update as I edit it. They would take over the web in an instant. As it is, it's a lot of fun to play prognosticator. Here's the map as I think it'll turn out. I almost painted Indiana and West Virginia blue, but then I decided that's too much and went back to red. Let's look back here on November 5 to see how it turned out (assuming the world is still here). Update: Kos has a very nice map that editable and embeddable, but it's too big to be useful here. I have embedded it in a page on the OPML Howto site. ...
