Bless you! I was JUST looking for one of these.
Last year, Real Clear Politics had one, but I cannot find it on their site!!!
Thanks. I saw Blitzer on CNN with their boards and it looked too intense to read. I am about to have a coronary over all this.
Wow. Indiana closes early!
Here's a neat one:

Thanks for the post, A_Niceguy_in_CA.
And for the ping, Howlin.Go, Dubya, go !!
Oh, also, just fyi. On our local WBAP radio 820AM (which carries Rush and Hannity), they had someone from ABC on last night. The host of the show I was listening to asked the ABC guy (don't recall his name) about calling states for Bush or Kerry. The ABC guy said that A BS, N BS and See BS were ALL going to WAIT until ALL polls within a state are CLOSED before making a "projection" for any candidate. He made a distinction between "calling a state for" a candidate and making a "projection" - which sounded like rhetorical BS to me, but whatever. [I would assume that other news outlets like FOX, etc. would do the same as well].Anyway, I am ALL for that, though I would prefer them not making projections AT ALL until all the California polls are closed .....
Thanks.
Did you happen to catch GWB's last rally in Dallas last night? C-span covered it live and you'd think after a 19 hour sprint he'd be off his mark. On the contrary he was upbeat, resolute and I've never seen him so at home with an audience. He appeared so humble and so moved that they were there well past midnight to greet him and showed his appreciation by shaking most hands in attendance.
