States with higher population (which usually tend to be more liberal) are going blue and are worth more points. Except for Texas, which is part of the "southwest" region or "bible belt" and tends to be conservative.

This map is partly informed by the need to come up with a unique guess...

{"name":"596948","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/3\/e3e53a83db7b7e4212a76ba218ed546c.png","w":906,"h":499,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/3\/e3e53a83db7b7e4212a76ba218ed546c"}596948

EDIT: wait, no, the "lower member number" rule works in my favour. I'll think about this a bit more...

dangit, just don't copy my map. If that's the case, though, then I'll change ND to blue.

Go Blue!

I originally calculated Florida as blue, but changed it to red before I posted my pic. I really think it's going to be close there. And, I'll be honest, this speculation is mainly from the voting scandel a few years back.

Ahh, I'll do the honourable thing and leave my prediction as it was, safe in the knowledge that almost nobody can appropriate it.

I gave Florida to the Republicans because of the generally older population and general cynicism; Obama's only 3% ahead there. Conversely, I gave Indiana to Obama because I thought it looked neater that way.

The lower member number seems a lot more prone to "dick moves" than going by whoever posted it first.

Yeah, especially since it's impossible to edit your post with a new map.
