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.

y'know, I rather liked Richardson, until I talked with a bunch of my colleagues who worked with him both when he ran the DoE and when he was Gov. of NM (Los Alamos is there), and I believe the exact quote was "he's dumb as a brick and twice as mean".

Maybe he's learned something since then, but no reasonable person I know pisses off nuclear scientists.

Clarification requested.

Is that because nuclear scientists are somewhat easygoing & therefore difficult to piss off, or because reasonable people REALIZE that pissing off NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS could be DANGEROUS?
