I'd find the map strongest as a think piece if swing states were sized according to their electoral votes.

Hey! I found a map with states sized by electoral votes:
http://www.colleyrankings.com/election2012/
It comes from a modeller who has a fully-described predictive model that's outperformed Nate Silver in recent elections (found via http://www2.macleans.ca/2012/11/04/tarnished-silver-assessing-the-new-king-of-stats/ ).
It's currently predicting Obama-291, Romney-234, TossUp-13 (Virginia).
