My, How Things Have Changed

Two years ago, SurveyUSA polled a hypothetical head-to-head contest between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain. Here’s the resulting electoral map:

Obama wins just his two home states of Hawaii and Illinois and the Republican-proof District of Columbia. The electoral vote count: 510 to 28.

It’s safe to say that tonight’s electoral map will look just a bit different.

NOTE: Thanks to my good friend and Washington Post alum, Laura Yao, for the tip.
