Electoral College Status

This electoral vote tracking site is nfty. You can start with a current map and track backward to see the day by day changes as new polls are released. I’d like to see the Votemaster add a “next” link so that I could pick, say, June 1, 2004 and go forward.
As Tegan notes:

Watching the votes bounce around as new polls are taken is fascinating and more than a little scary.
For instance, on 6/22 Bush leads 285 to 253 and on 6/24 Kerry leads 300 to 228. It is volatile out there!


bush-cheney hitler Video

In a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black the latest bush-bheney ad hominem campaign video reaches a new low. This is pretty much killfile material.
For some thoughts on the usefulness of invoking this particular meme see here and here.
Update (6/25): PZ Myers is puzzled by the message the campaign is trying to send and suggests some possibilities.
Update (6/28): The bushies have revised the video with some explanatory comments on the front end. Via The Sideshow.
