Here is a fun activity: compare this map, which reflects current state-by-state polling in a hypothetical matchup between Arizona Senator John McCain and New York Senator Hillary Clinton, to this one for McCain/Obama.

Also worthy of note, we’ve updated our General 2008 Election Map to reflect the “solid states”, those that are deep blue or bright red - Wyoming and Alabama (plus McCain’s home state of Arizona) are red, and Washington D.C., Illinois, and California are deep blue.  We’ll be updating this map further once the Democrats have a nominee and more state-by-state polling can occur.
