The Washington Post has a great interactive map where you can check out the big federal and gubernatorial election races of the year.  Play with it a little, and you too will be able to hold interesting conversations about the prospects of a Democratic Pick-up in Nevada's 3rd CD or find out if we'll have a Congresswoman Duckworth.  Maybe you'll pick a favorite to win the Alaska's Governor's mansion since Frank Murkowski got SLAUGHTERED in his own Republican primary (guess you shouldn't appoint your daughter to fill your senate seat.  damn.  I sure hope my Dad never gets elected to Senate and then decides to bail for the Governor's mansion.) 
So really - this is my favorite new toy.  well, this and the Cold War Unicorns.
