The 2012 Map

Larry Sabato puts out the 2012 election map as he sees it today:

If you INCLUDE the “Leans” states with the “Likely” and “Safe,” the numbers are as follows:

247 Democratic EVs
180 Republican EVs
111 Undecided

If you DO NOT INCLUDE the “Leans” states, i.e., just counting “Likely” and “Safe,” the numbers are as follows:

196 Democratic EVs
170 Republican EVs
172 Undecided

270 needed to elect. We've got to hold the "Leans", "Likely" and "Safe" GOP seats and move some of those "Tossup" and "Leans D" states into the GOP column.  But first we'll need a candidate and so far that's not looking so good.
