President Elect 2008 Electoral College Projection (3/2/2008)

President Elect's analysis of the 2008 Electoral College vote, pitting Republican Senator John McCain against possible Democratic nominee Barack Obama, shows that if the election were today the United States would be electing its first black President.

President Elect projects that Senator Obama will win 341 electoral votes and Senator McCain will win 197.

The Democratic nominee has yet to be decided. For the puposes of this analysis I chose the frontrunner rather than having to do it with a generic Democratic nominee.

Note that this is just the first of many projections to come - things usually change before election day. (Though in February 2004 my first analysis with Bush vs Kerry predicted the exact outcome of election day nine months early!) Look for this analysis to be updated at the beginning of each month until late this summer when the updates will come more often.
