270 to Win provides an interactive Electoral College map for both the 2008 election and for past elections. I find the historical results more intriguing. Watching the shift in party voting trends, watching the number electors shift based on the changes and population and watching when states “came online” for elections is all interesting. To the left is the map of the 1904 election when the incumbent Teddy Roosevelt defeated Alton Parker. Note that five states and the District of Columbia do not contribute electors yet. The site also has election facts for each election. For the 1904 election the “Issues for the day were the gold standard and the Panama Canal. |

Good catch. Reckon my counting skills are lacking in the early morning. All fixed, thank you.
