Now with mouse-over goodness

[ciphergoth]

the latest version of my chart, now with mouseovers:

Remember, this is an imaginary scenario half-way through election night. Here's the graph for the current polling situation, as per electoral-vote.com.

I may be a lone dissenter here, but I liked the previous version much better. I preferred being able to see the whole graphic without having to scroll, and the white background makes my eyes hurt very quickly as I scroll up and down. I'm not that bothered about the winning margin in each state, so I'd rather forego the extra information in favour of overall usability.

Assuming you're keeping the mouseovers, though, I'd prefer it if they disappeared when I position my mouse pointer outside the frame of the graphic, which isn't happening at the moment. I find that distracting when trying to get an overview of what's going on. I also find the blue for called Obama states too pale to be easily distinguishable from the white.
