The Real Election

A great site that explains how the Electoral College works and presents a nice map of likely votes this fall, based on state polls instead of national polls, which seems to be a much more relevant way to do things.

As someone pointed out somewhere but I forget where, we don't have one election for president, we have 51 (including D.C.), with some being much more important than others.

electoral vote map as of jun 2004

Current tally:
Kerry - 302
Bush - 232
Needed to win: 270

If you live in a "weak" or "barely" state, you're on the front lines.

Oh, and for any of our friends overseas who may be reading this, please Tell An American To Vote! (Unless they're a Republican, in which case you needn't go out of your way.)
