For political junkies of all persuasions -- I found a really cool
interactive electoral map . It's looking at the combinations of states that will bring one side up to the necessary 270 electoral votes. The starting point is states that are "strong" or "likely" Dem are colored blue, those that are "strong" or "likely" Rep are colored red, based on current polls. The rest of the states are tan -- and you can click on them (one click makes it red, another makes it blue) and see how that changes the electoral odds. There's historical information, too, though I haven't looked much at that yet. But if you're the sort of person who wonders things like, can my side win even *without* carrying Pennsylvania, then you'll have fun with this.
