Amazing how few blue states there are. Fewer and fewer blue states can only be a GOOD thing for the future of this country.
James Carville is one of the brightest CNN contributors and if he's wrong, unlike others, he'll laugh and admit it. I like him because he can backup his facts when others can't.
James Carville looks like he was in a fight with a 2×4 and lost BIG TIME
Obama 2012 – BEND Forward America, take another 4 long years of FAILURE

unfortunately for you, those red states have as many cattle as they do people so Mittens can win as many as he wants. The states that are blue for Obama contain the most people and will carry him to reelection. Your argument is bunk
Any person who would say on national television the president needs to "get some b_lls" or something similar to that – doesn't deserve ANY respect and is only the lowest form of a person. For just that one comment alone, I will never read or listen to anything this creep says. Resign Carville as you are a disgrace.
The more red states there are is only an indication of how much farther the United States needs to go to catch up with the rest of the world.
Red States = Bush, Cheney, Palin, Bachmann and co.
More Red states is not a 'Good' thing.
Yea fewer blue states better for the country; more useless abortion laws, more tax cuts for the rich and wage downgrades for the middle class and poor. No more medicare, instead a $6000 voucher, (see how much insurance that buys you) Implementation of the Paul ryan budget; cut meals for low income kids, reduce pell grants for those trying to better themselves, less weeks of unemployment if you get laid off, no more unions, benefits decline....oh yea can't wait to embrace the republican agenda....
Obama12.
According to your map Carville, the number for Romney doesn't add up even if he carries Michigan.
La. gov. jindal cut our voting hours...which shows the repubs dirty tatics . in this state you dont have backroads as an option in case of a wreck, and most of us have to commute to other parishes . dirty tactics from desperate repubs afraid of losing fla. voter purge. these guys are disgusting self serving pigs.
Bend over ,another republican bafoon ,your all going down in Nov .
It is so entertaining reading the desperation in the leftist's posts. They are already making up excuses for an Obama loss in november. They did learn something from Obama though, blame someone else or it is someone else's fault that Obama lost.
With any luck Mittens will not win Michigan. But he has a chance. Oakland County is his and it's all white and all rich. There is also Howell, Mi, where a black person dare not venture. They even sell klan robes there. I am motivating people every chance I get. But this election will be rigged just like 2000. They are not spending millions to walk away empty handed. They have already assured Mittens a victory. Which is why he is meeting with Bonehead, CEO's and his transition team. The dems better open their eyes, these rethugs aren't playing. They will do anything to win.
OBAMA 2012!
I want to see Paul Begala and Donna B's maps.
