Google Intensity Map Tracks Political Prognostications

Google has created a tool that, while hardly failsafe, will certainly make political armchair prognosticating more fun. The 2010 Elections Ratings map pulls in data from various political trackers and displays it on a map of the United States. View the Rothenberg Political Report's latest predictions about the U.S. Senate races, for example, and the map paints each state in shades from dark red to dark blue, depending on whether Rothenberg's information indicates that the Republican or the Democratic candidate is likely to win. You can also view the map by House and gubernatorial races, as well as by individual state.
