Rachel,

The other night you mentioned not liking Real Clear Politics, though they are useful. I wanted to point out a couple of alternatives.

1) http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ - This is pretty much a direct alternative to Real Clear Politics. They use statistics to predict what they think will happen on election day. They also try to get the bias out of polls.

Plus, they have some very good analysis. You know how people are saying that the negative ads aren't helping McCain much? They have math to back it up: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/10/ayers-attacks-piquing-curiosity-b...

2) http://www.electoral-vote.com/ - This site is nice for its simplicity. No fancy predictions, they just take the most recent polls for each state and figure out the electoral college vote based on that. They're very good for "If the election were held today" estimates.
