Another Fabulous NYT Creation

Ok, so I know that I haven't been so active on the blog since the election. I guess I've just been soaking it all in. Honestly, there's not a whole lot coming out of the Obama transition camp over the last two weeks.

What's been really cool over the last two weeks was the variety of new post-election data tools popping up on nearly every website. As usual, the New York Times is leading the way. Check out their new Election Explorer. You can adjust the tool's dial to find how each candidate fared in the most densely populated counties, the counties with the most African Americans, etc. This will definitely satisfy your political tooth during these post-election days in malaise.

Undecided Split: Don't Count on It!

There is still a significant amount of buzz coming out of the McCain campaign that a lingering number of undecideds will break their way. Charles Franklin at Pollster.com put together an excellent graphic comparing how the undecideds broke in previous elections going back 60 years.

With Obama leading by an average of 7.6 points in this cycles last tracking tracking polls, I just can't see how these rumblings from Rick Davis are anything more than wishful thinking.
