If you're stressing out because this historically pivotal election is agonizingly closer than it should be, you can play with this interactive electoral college map created by the Washington Post peeps to ease your mind.

If you're really feeling confident about your picks, the Washington Post is sponsoring a contest in which the person who nails the actual election night scenario wins a $500 Best Buy gift card.

You can click on various states to come up with the magic combination of 270 electoral votes that will ensure on November 5 we wake up with a President-elect Obama and a grateful planet thanking us for it.
