JLB, are you going to spam the board with your fake map?

Take a look at this thread. It contains a regularly updated electoral-map count from several sites, so you can see trends and totals.
Electoral map predictions

Last update was yesterday.

It's impossible to know this until after the votes are counted in November.

Wow JLB.. new LOW? I wonder if I can make the map so Mickey Mouse wins every state except Alaska, where he'll narrowly lose to first term Governor Palin, and throw it up as evidence that America wants REAL change.

RealClearPolitics is the one I followed and used back in 2004 and it was exactly right on BEFORE the election. So, I wouldn't just discount it out-of-hand. They are actually pretty fair in their analysis and polling.

They are... if you use their maps.

But they have a "create-your-own map" feature that lets you make the map say anything you want it to.

It's a fun sandbox tool. Leave it to JLB to try to pass his made-up map off as legit.
