One of the things that captures my attention in the election season is the Electoral College map, and the projections based on polling data. In my virtual travels, I have found the following sites, each with a slightly different slant and/or methodology for compiling data and making prediction. I suspect that readers of this site might find this of interest.
All of the sites provide analysis of Senate races, in addition to the Presidential contest.
I followed this site in 2004 and 2006. A left leaning libertarian, the "Votemaster" here focuses on state by state polling. The interactive map gives a lot of interesting information in mouse-over animations.
This site is run by a couple of Democrats, and appears to be based on just about any poll they can get their hands on, with weighting assigned based on historical accuracy. I particularly like the analysis of swing states, which includes a "Return on invenstment index", a ratio of a given state's potential for changing the outcome, to the number of voters. Oregon has consistently been in the top 15 on this list.

This site is unabashedly right-wing. I find it interesting that the predictions here are consistently more favorable to Republicans. It is also worth noting that you must pay for a subscription for the more detailed analysis (while the other sites accept dontations, but don't limit access if you don't.) Still, a little balance is a good thing, especially when our numbers are so strong that they can't tweak them enough to show McCain ahead.
And another cool one
