This page is muddling through a sick day, and is want for any insightful polemic to post. Here are a few things for readers to entertain themselves with while I gather my recuperative energies:
The AP 2008 Interactive Electoral College Map: It's like CNN's 'Magic Wall' without having to do much with CNN. Stake out Obamanation or McCainia across all 50 states, or being boring like this page and use the most recent poll results in each state - at press time my map reads Obama 328, McCain 218.
The UBC 2008 Election Stock Market: This page isn't sure whether this project is meant to teach something to UBC students about business or politics, or if it's just the only place I've come across where people can legally bet on a federal election. Either way, election stock markets have developed a reputation for calling an election results better than opinion polls, as investors literally put their money where they're mouth is.
The Revolutionary Moderation Gaffe-O-Meter: Don has been running the Gaffe-O-Meter for a few Federal Elections now, and while this page has never mastered his state of the art .sig/.prom scoring system, a lack of mastery has never stopped me from enjoying a lot of things. It's also a good archive of all the stupid/mean-spirited campaign hijinks.
