For pretty, pretty (& informative) red & blue maps: Electoral Vote 2008. I adore this site - it is chock-full of the latest poll data for the US Presidential, Senate, & House races. Democratic-leaning commentary is also thrown in by the Votemaster.

And if you're interested in where all the money is coming from for these elections, check out Open Secrets, which gives you tons of data & analysis about where the candidates are getting their dollars.
