Visualizations & Election Year Coverage

The New York Times has an interesting campaign event flash-based interactive map (link from the image on the right) which works out to be easy on the eyes.

The animations are not that useful, but what I find most curious about this map is comparing the relative frequency of candidate visits to areas of the country.  Knowing something about each candidate, and all politics aside, it tells you something about their election year strategies, or lack thereof.

Nicely done.
