    What states could it possibly cost Obama?

    "New York flipped! Suck it!"

    Can't see it.

    2000 came down to a few votes before the courts got it.

    Not saying it'll happen again, but in a close election every vote counts, or lack thereof.

    Zeke could probably find the Sandy-affected states that might sway to the dark side because voters (couldn't) make it to a polling station.

    The only true swing state that is affected by any of this is Virginia, but I'd be surprised if this means a hill of beans in the vote. The only exception would be if the administration has a ham-handed "Heck of a job Brownie" response.

    Maybe New Hampshire?

    But probably not. Those are affluent Democrats, not the kind we think of as being affected by weather.

    NH strikes me as a state in which the electorate is actually persuadable, not one in which turnout is of the essence.

    The amount of Politico/MSNBC/Fox News/David Brooks dipshits who can't grasp basic statistics is staggering.

    The politicization: Top story on www.yahoo.com is Christie's slobbering thank you to Obama.

    Sabermetrics comes to politics. Or, should I say, the political mainstream rather than just the political science departments at universities.

    Joe Scarborough = Bill Plaschke.

    Brooks' broad, bizarre spins continue to be a strong source of laughs.

    Consider the source . . . all LANDLINES . . . at best, worthless . . . at worst, willfully-misleading.

    They were all landlines last time, too, and it didn't stop them from being on the nose.
