I am not sure I agree with all of these predictions, especially some of the "leaning" states. For example, as between these two guys, Virginia would be solid red. It may also be more accurate that leaning blue states, like Pennsylvania, are really, leaning red. McCain could potentially blow him out. From the New York Times

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.

Of course this map looked a whole lot different in 1980 and 1984.
