The Electoral College Chart
From now until 11/4, The Hotline will regularly publish the Electoral College chart (available in full after the jump and summarized below) to estimate the winner of the WH '08 contest based on recent state polling data and previous election results.
The chart includes all WH '08 state polling data published in The Hotline since 5/23. The most recent poll, the one used to identify each state's winner, is listed on the same line as the state symbol. For the 23 states (including DC) without current polling data available, the winner has been estimated based on WH '00 and WH '04 results.

SUPER map.
Go Blue, we're for you.
Go Blue, we're for you.
Barack is a steamroller.
308.
And these polls were before Hillary unity today.
They looked unbeatable up there together.
add about 50 more EV and you are probably right on target for Obama's final tally
Great idea, but execution may be a bit over-stated. You really only have 27 states represented in the results, and projecting some of those is iffy. Several are within the margin of error, which, by definition means you can't project. Others are internally contradictory; Michigan, for example, a pivotal state, where two reputable polls are contradictory (that might be a timing issue involving the Dem del seating).
So, keep refining it. Might be useful by September. Until then, it's a fanboy thing (as shown above).
