Some Cool Nomination Tracking Toys

I am enjoying some of the Web toys that allow political junkies such as myself track and predict what's going on with the primary season this year. Here are a few that I've liked so far:

• Los Angeles Times -- Primary Tracker. http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/primaries/ These folks have a very pretty sliding scale that allows you to see how "super-duper" Feb. 5 will be. It also allows the user to see the projected importance of states after the Feb. 5 date if there is still no clear winner at that point. (That's the Tsai prediction at this point. We'll be going out past the Feb. 5 date
  

• NPR -- Election 2008. http://www.npr.org/templates/topics/topic.php?topicId=1102 Similar to the LA Times idea, but just in "flat" form and color coded. (See Tufte for what "flat" means.)
• Washington Post -- Candidate Events. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/2008-presidential-candidates/tracker/This is for the hardcore folks who really want to know where the candidates are and what they're doing at any given moment. Not for the weak-politicos.
• New York Times -- Election Guide 2008. http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/schedules/pastevents/index.html#candidate99. This site has just too many toys to mention. From an event scheduler to archives of the NH and Iowa results, its replete with data and pretty visualization.

If you have a favorite Web toy, feel free to send it my way.
