Also, you will occasionally pick out inconsistencies with the map. A state may be 46-40 Bush, but he’ll have it as light blue. The errors are corrected, so I don’t think it’s part of some grand Demmie scheme, just the problems associated with trying to keep the sight up to date. Still a neat site.

good grief, folks, just go to the front page:

He’s a Kerry supporter, but I’ve never seen any bias in the numbers.

Elsewhere he says that one candidate or the other has to have a 10% lead to be in the “strong” category. 5-10% is in the “weak” category, and is marked either light blue or light red as appropriate.

I’d question putting a lead as high as 9% in the “weak support” category myself. Still, interesting site.

Psst: light blue = weak Kerry.

This isn’t a debate, so I’ll lock it. I’m sure they’ll fix the projected map.
