Chuck Todd: Electoral Map Shifting To Obama

A month ago, NBC's electoral map showed an exact tie between Obama and McCain -- including 'base' and 'lean' states, each had 200 electoral votes. But on this month's map, Obama has opened up a 210-189 lead over McCain, with 139 electoral votes in the toss-up column. Watch Chuck Todd explain:

Chuck Todd is without a doubt the brightest election voting analyst in the business.
He is better at this than Tim Russert was.
You can see that he struggles slightly to be totally neutral but pulls it off.

Lets leave Tim out of this. I was just thinking as I watched this clip how much I miss Tim Russert.
Yes, Chuck is great but lets not compare him to Tim Russert. They are both great but there will never be another Tim Russert.

Have to checked with the Vatican yet as to when the canonization begins?

I love Chuck Todd. The math behind predicting who wins which states is mind-numbing for those of us who deal in words, not numbers, but Chuck does a masterful job of explaining how it all works. He is part of that new breed of handsome, intelligent, articulate, wonky guys who make this looooong political season more bearable. I look forward to his contributions on Election Night.

[ObserverinVancouver]

Well, he is easy on the eyes and he has a nice voice.

Now if only Democrats and bitter HRC supporters would STOP standing in his way we can win this thing once and for all.

They only wish they could stand be in his way.

Watch it shift back election night when they get a call from George H.W. Bush.
