The latest from Realclearpolitics.com. Ohio is back in the toss-up category. If New Hampshire and Oregon go Democrat then the regional red and blue division of states in the US will be very tidy this election. The entire West coast and the entire Northeast would be blue. Everywhere else will likely go red except for Illinois and Michigan. Some pundits have criticized the red and blue characterization of US politics. It seems pretty convincing to me, especially when it is broken down to counties. The urban centers generally go blue, everything rural is mostly red. If the president were elected by acreage instead of electoral votes it would be Bush in a landslide.
