88 piano keys mapped to 88 Ohio counties.

The result seems to be essentially meaningless, I think because the sample size is underwhelming. Might make more sense divided into pre-tv and post-tv. Notes: Carter's little interpolated grin is charming, G. W. Bush's hook hands less so; Madison was really small, and Taft was not.

Shame it only shows the "credible" candidates, because e.g. Clinton's been hemorrhaging points in the last few weeks but neither Edwards nor Obama are picking them all up. Huckabee doesn't appear on the previous chart, but now he's in the Republican lead.

Watching all the numbers change so quickly is making me really squirrely.
