Politico: "where red and blue meet purple."

Politico's website offers a 2008 Swing State Map that is quite informative. The map allows users to click on each of the swing states for the 2008 presidential election, and gives facts about how that state has affected each election. This map gives up-to-the-minute data at the request of the user -- something a newspaper or television would not be able to do. The data goes back to the 2000 election, and users are able to see if a particular swing state favors Obama or McCain, and how winning (or losing) that state will affect wach candidate's chances at the presidency.
