The Final Day Map

Mon, November 03, 2008 - 10:25 AM

We’re less than 36 hours from the first poll closings in a presidential campaign that has stretched on for almost two years. And there’s plenty more campaigning left to do between now and then in key swing states.

Barack Obama holds rallies in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia today. Joe Biden swings through Missouri, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

John McCain is spending the penultimate day of this campaign in New Mexico, Nevada, Florida and Pennsylvania. Sarah Palin has the most ambitious schedule of any of the candidates, with stops in Nevada, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio and Colorado. Whew.

What does the final day travel map tell us about the state of this race? With the exception of Pennsylvania, every one of these states voted for George W. Bush in 2004.
