Ohio should be the largest.

Ohio SHOULD be the largest.

And then Florida and Pennsylvania.

I'm going to go sit quietly and have a beer.

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

Me too. I wonder why the artist didn't do that.

Hey! I found a map with states sized by electoral votes:

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).

Gordon, that's awesome! Thank you for sharing...
