Electoral college

[ciphergoth]

After watching far, far too much West Wing (ie all of it - finally reached the end which is both bad and good) I created this image to visualize the results of the 2004 election. I want something like this updated live for 2008, with states not yet called ranked based on predictions.



You'll need to view it full size to properly see what's going on.

Ooh that's interesting. I'm busily working my way through The West Wing, having been lent series 2 (now all watched) and now series 3. Sadly, she didn't have series 1, but it pretty much still makes sense. It's very good (albeit terribly idealised in terms of just how gosh-darn ethical they are in the white house) and i think it's teaching me a lot about the American political system, which appears to be fiendishly complex!

I learnt a lot about American politics through West Wing too, liberal wet dream that it is. We've got all the dvds if you ever want to borrow a series

*smiles* That would be very nice, thank you. I would quite like to borrow the first series, as i haven't seen it yet.

Thank you :)
