I don't know why I find these kind of projection tools/toys to be so enticing. Anyway, I fiddled around with it for a while.

I've been reading their analysis of Iowa.

I might have a mini-crush on Nate Silver.  (I just like his work.  And his thought process.)

Ha, I played around with this at work tonight while " multitasking" ie. doing half- assed work.  I hope it's accurate, because it was pretty hard to make any of the Clown Car passengers win.

Another fun one, for the general, is www.270towin.com. I used it with students when I taught government and it was a good teaching tool. It also has electoral maps from every presidential election in history as well.
