Be that the case and though the data shown is scarce, can we say that it is not good news for McCain? The fact that 4 states, representing 24% of the traffic share in McCain site comes from sites where Obama is very strong, might lead us to think that those votes will be waisted, since they most likely won't be enough to outweight Obama's advantage. A good sign for any of the candidates, imho, is if they get traffic from states that are toss ups or leaning to the opponent on the NYTimes Map, since in those states the battle is much more tight. Do you think you can publish the data for all the 50 states?
