Regardless of how you stumbled across my site, welcome! I started this place because I'm a political junkie and a former blogger who suddenly got bitten by the bug again and needed an outlet.
My primary focus here is discussing the presidential campaigns, or more specially the race to get 270 electoral votes--thus the site's name (clever, no?). Given the historic nature of this election and the fact that the Democrats are poised to possibly snag a Lieberman-proof 60 seat majority you can expect quite a bit of coverage on the senate races as well. And I'm kind of a geek so I can't promise you won't see a few stories about the upcoming Star Trek movie or the fall television line-up. Consider yourself warned.
For those curious about the primary author of this site, well, I'm Jim. I'm a 33 year old producer from New York who loves listening to Dean Martin, reading Chuck Klosterman, spending lazy Sundays with a cup of Tim Horton's while reading the Times, and taking long walks through the woods to dispose of the bodies.
And yes I really am that blurry and jaundiced in real-life.
