Swing States have been coming into play that I didn’t believe were possible, Colorado, Nevada, and Virginia, for example.  Now, some other States have apparently come into play for the Obama campaign.
It’s interesting that I mentioned just recently that North Dakota and Montana may be States that Obama could win if he would make his [...]

Barack is doing quite well, so far, but we’ll see the McCain ‘campaign’ throw a lot of shit around just to see what sticks.

Yeah, I’m a geek.
It’s Friday night, and I’m ciphering like Jethro.

Because Democrats have a propensity to recklessly lose elections, and Republicans will literally do and say anything to win, it’s difficult for me to take the position I’m taking now:
Advantage: Obama
To be clear, that is not a prediction of November’s outcome. There is much tennis yet to be played. Was that too [...]

As we near the end of September, several States are still up for grabs in the presidential election.  State polling data is sparse and erratic.
I am obsessed, not with polls, but with polling data, and trying to make sense of what one of my least favorite professors from back in the day would have called [...]
