I cannot take credit for this map. gengis created it by using the Tradesports state-by-state market data. The saturation of color is determined by the odds for one candidate or the other to win that state.
I think this map is very, very cool. Cool enough that since gengis
posted it in inside another thread, I'm creating a diary entry for it so more people can see it.
It should be noted that what this map shows is not really a predictor of the final results. Instead, it is showing a summary of the current conventional wisdom on the race. While it may not be a predictor, I sure find it interesting.
