Oh, Dear: Another Electoral College Projection Shows McCain Winning With 274

I would put this in the sidebar, but one datum makes this good grist for comment-fodder:

Check out the projected total votes for both candidates.

Would that be a) awful or b) awesome or c) awful in some ways, and totally, undeniably awesome in others?

It's not that unlikely: Assuming that Obama really turns out black and disaffected leftists votes, he might get abnormally large margins of victories in Blue States, and also keep his losses in Red States to abnormally thin margins -- but while still losing all the traditional Red States.

Upshot: The country dodges the bullet and doesn't elect Barack Hussein Obama, but we also prove that we're not racist! Yayyyy! Everybody wins! (Except Obama.)
