The Electoral Map
Here are what the Obama and McCain campaigns now consider the true battleground states going into the fall campaign, assuming — as both candidates now do — that Barack Obama is likely to win his party's nomination. In addition to these states, both sides have states that they say (or rather hope) will come into play in the months ahead — think New Jersey for Republicans and Georgia for Democrats — but for the time being, this is where the action is going to be.

I'm not even certain Obama will carry Massachusetts. Hillary won the primary pretty convincingly there. If Obama goes down to a McGovern size defeat, he'll carry Illinois, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington and Oregon. Don't know about other states.

Illinois. Obama will carry Illinois because the Republican Party in Illinois has completely forgotten how to win elections.
