CNN/NBC gives Shrub illegal contribution, IMO.

All of their reporter stand-ups are done in front of a huge election map that is extremely red...three blue states...lots of yellow indicating toss ups. I think it constitutes an illegal contribution of sorts. It gives the impression that Kerry/Edwards don't stand a chance, etc. They should use the Prof. Sam Wang map to be fair. Same deal with NBC and their ice rink map.

Am I alone on this?

2. much better map

I was looking at somebody's map today that had all the yellow. I'm stuffing doorknob hangers, so I'm having to watch way too much TV.

3. Good find

This map looks great!

I agree with you about the maps behind reporter stand-ups. Along with the "polls," it's another attempt to convince people * has already won. :eyes:

5. Why is Texas so small?

It is worth 34 electoral votes. Other than that looks pretty accurate though.
