Battleground election states analysis

Quite an interesting piece based on a Wall Street Journal article on the current status of the battleground states for the November election.

The number of battleground states seems to vary between around 16 and 18 depending on one's count but this election will very likely come down to like 10% of voters in one-third of the states. For either Kerry or Bush to win, they must win this vote. If surprising things happen there could be a landslide for either of them and thus win by a large margin but these 3.3% of the people (10% of 33%) would still be the effective deciding factor - the other shifting voters would just be icing on the victory

Please everyone in Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin get out and vote for Kerry. Even if you don't like him, he's got to be better than Bush.
