One interactive news site that presents information interactively that couldn't be done in print is Yahoo! News, which presents the electoral college map in its "Political Dashboard." The dashboard encourages users to take the map, which is pre-set with current poll data, and create their own scenarios as to how the election will play out.
Just for fun, it includes the scenarios drawn up by Arianna Huffington (which has Obama winning with 306 electoral votes) and Newt Gingrich (who says McCain will win with 300). In addition to the create-your-own-scenario interactivity, users can also view past maps for American elections dating back to 1988.
