The McLame Campiagn Can't Count

John McCain has a front page strategy briefing up on the front of his website. Here's the link:  http://www.johnmccain.com/

On it, there is an Electoral Map. With state broken down into Solid or Lean GOP, Tossup, Lean or Solid Dem. Standard fare.

Over at 538.com they have posted a picture of the map on McCain's front page. Linky: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/

(Sorry, I didn't include the picture)

What caught my eye was that the math and map seemed worng, right away.

The site comes up with only 537 electoral votes and the totals for each individual category are also off. He either can't add or can't color.

In defense of McCain (and Rick Davis who did the presentation), the presentation itself does have the correct number of EVs (538), but it gets the number of states in our Union wrong, tallying only 49. Way to go Rick!

That's right, the party that once tallied terror statistics based on a 10 month year now alternatively proves it can't add up the number of electoral votes (and divide them by category correctly) OR can't figure out they're short one state. I can't wait until they have charge of the economy.

More detail below the jump.
