Here's what the electoral map would have looked like if only people over 65 voted… and there are 11 more maps with other demographics.

What the electoral map would look like if only young people voted. Now I want to see the map if only people over 70 voted.

Norwegian radio show Osenbanden met Harry Shearer and asked him what his Simpsons charachters thought about the upcoming election. The result is hilarious!

Yahoo’s most emailed story: “Counting down to Election Day, Barack Obama appears within reach of becoming the nation’s first black president.” I’ll really, really miss Sarah Palin news if Obama wins. :(

POLITICS BUZZ: Long, long ago John McCain’s ancestors had 120 slaves on a Mississippi plantation. They remained close with the white family for decades after the Civil War, taking its surname and living close by. Fast forward 150 years later and the descendants of those slaves are speaking out. The Wall Street Journal has a video interview with them.

NYU computer scientists use technology to identify “body signatures” of Obama, McCain, and Bush. The data shows McCain does not just vote with Bush 90% of the time, he also is closer to Bush when it comes to his “body signature”! Click the image to watch the videos and see the results. Look at the bar graphs on the right of each video to figure out how similar the speaker is to Obama, McCain, or Bush.

Tennessee is one of the few McCain strongholds. Check out this video from the “Goats Music & More” festival in Lewisburg, Tennessee and meet Sherry Ferguson an adament McCain supporter. In one part Sherry says if Sarah Palin was there she’d probably be “playing with the goats.” Also, if you’ve never seen a fainting goat, here’s your chance.
