Hilarious electoral map on the cover of today's San Jose Mercury News

sorry, not in the online edition, but it has Red and Blue states, with six states in yellow, identified as "tossups". They are: CO, IA, WI, OH, VA, NH and FL.

In very fine print, six of those seven show Obama with the lead, by as much as 4.2% in WI.

Meanwhile, five states (NV, NM, MN, MI, PA) are "leaning Obama" in light blue, while only two (NC and (!!!) AZ) are "leaning Romney" in a pinkish color.

Neumalu Loop, on the opposite side of King kamehameha Way, across from Kamiloiki School, and climbing the ridge.

Do you remember Le Hing Mu? Great stuff!
