ELECTION NIGHT VIEWING GUIDE

THE INTERACTIVE ELECTION VIEWING GUIDE is now available.

Sometime this weekend or as late as Monday, I'll be uploading an excel spreadsheet that serves as an Interactive Election Night Viewing Guide.

As states are called during election night, you'll simply input an x by the state for the particular candidate and the guide will compute how well your guy is doing. You'll not only see how many electoral votes he has earned, you'll also see if he is on track to win. That way you don't have to try to do all that complicated math about Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio and New Mexico. Don't forget Arkansas. or Colorado. Or Nevada. Or Florida. Besides, if you are like me, a few hours into the evening, you will be incapable of doing any math.

And once you see this, you can tune out Tim Russert and his silly chalkboard with Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida scrawled on it. After all, either candidate could win without getting 2 of those 3, and the Viewing Guide will make that clear.

Click here to see the instructions to the Guide and get a flavor of what the Guide is like. I'm still tweaking the code and getting my predictions ready (which will also be tracked).

I'm going to keep this bumped to the top, so ignore the posted date.
