Many thanks to reader Kathy for pointing me to this site

, which gives up-to-date red/blue state maps.

Says Kathy: “You can even customize the map if you want, by omitting certain

pollsters or methods (for example, only consider likely voter polls, don’t

include the Zogby Interactive, etc.) I find it endlessly fascinating. But

then, I’m a pathetic politics obsessive.”

Nothing pathetic about it, Ma’am. Politics moves the world.
