Thanks for the link!


Without Rasmussen tainting the results it looks pretty damn good but I'm cautiously optimistic.

But I probably go to RCP more often.

I also use electoral vote.com, partly for the reason you have mentioned.

There are 22 Electoral College maps currently online and calculating an average of the opinions yields additional insights over just picking your favorite map:
1. The average has been trending Obama since early July.
2. No map, including the ones from the right, has assigned Romney over 206 electoral votes since these maps began to be published in early 2011.

Here is my favorite right wing map: http://race42012.com/category/2012-electoral-college-projection/ . It comes with interesting commentary and reader comments, if you are in to such weird diversion.

I'll post a list of the 22 maps tomorrow.
