With a little less than two months until the election, I'm adding a new feature to the site - that being predictions of the Electoral College from each state, each Monday, until election day. Without further adieu, here's the inagural map:

This map is essentially the same as the 2004 election, with the exception of New Mexico and Iowa flipping for Democrats. It puts the race at 274 - 264 in favor of the GOP, which I realize is counter-intuitive to many of the other maps being shown on CNN and Fox News, but nonetheless, is how I feel the states will fall at this time.
I didn't bother to label any of these states as too close to call, but rather decided to roll the dice. Naturally, I expect to revise the map each week as new information/polling/gut feelings sway my opinions. I don't at this time see the Republicans capturing any additional Democrat states, although Michigan could come in play later in the election, but the Democrats have a great opportunity in both Nevada and Virginia.
