This is one of the Many Electoral Maps I watch daily--sometimes several times a day

http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/2012/romney-vs-obama-electoral-map

It has changed twice today up from 271 to 275 O and now up from 275 to 281 for O

The individual state polls are listed below the map.

Also, if you hover over each state, it gives the poll average for that state and confidence of lead (either Obama or Romney). It always makes me feel better.

Also the 270 to win simulation map is fun and lifts your spirits watching Obama win almost every run.

as it treats each state outcome as an independent result.

So in the sim I just ran, Romney wins OH and FL but Obama win AZ.

In 2004, ND was 63% Red, 61% in 2000. I guess Mitt ain't no Bush
