This is based on the difference between the Obama search percentages in a state and the McCain search percentages in a state over the last 30 days. It's not super accurate, because Obama leads in searches by 74/44 on whatever weird scale Google uses. So I'm subtracting two percentages that are in two different scales
But its fun to look at!
Looks like people in Hawaii are curious about Obama since he's vacationing there, and people in South Dakota are curious about McCain...
Update: Here's Bush vs. Kerry
Which you'll note, doesn't look anything like the electoral college map for Bush vs. Kerry
If anything, its sort of reversed, like people google for the person they're not going to vote for.
