As I think everyone is beginning to realise, 2010 will see the first UK / US double header since 1992 (when a UK election and a US election are held in the same year) and as such it will not be long before we Brits have these devices coming out of our ears



I would like to know if there is anyone who is slightly more expert at online graphics who could create a similar graphic for the US elections if I was to supply them with a spreadsheet ranking the 2008 results by swing needed to gain?

It's not really possible, because neither party contests every seat.

I'm not sure if this new tendency to appeal to the apparent inherent evil of Xahar in all things even remotely related to forum policing or this damn game is especially helpful.

Which would simply mean that on the 50% side for the Dem would be those 14 and on the 50% side for the GOP would be those 42.

If this refers to the 2010 elections then IL-17 is being contested. OTOH IL-1 and IL-4 are not being contested by any Rep.
