the rational side of my brain believes Nate Silver, so if I were a betting man I'd bet on Obama. But my emotional side is sure something weird will happen and Romney will win.
My school had a mock election a few days ago and the students "elected" Obama. If that makes you feel any better.
Huh, no annonymous questions for me on elfster yet. how can that be?
Yeah, how could anyone know what you like???
In other holiday news, msbelle, I won one of the AAI auctions! So that's nice.
It's because I'm mysterious and unknowable.
hhrrruummpph. People have always laughed at me when I have suggested that I am mysterious and such, but then they laugh just as much when I say I am an open book. I am a rock, I am an island.

Listen to the children--they are our future.

oh, cool, what did you get? I got a scarf from Ethiopia, red, black and white striped.
I'm not telling, because who knows where it might end up! Also I wish I had bid more on some things, once I remembered donation + free shipping.

The economists in my twitter feed are puzzling over one aspect of the polls that I have found curious for weeks: why is Romney supposedly up in the national polls, but Obama is up in key states? That didn't make sense population-wise and what I knew of Obama's leads in blue states vs. Romney's in red states.
Silver has a long article on this point, and I don't doubt his methodology at all, I think it is sound. I do think there is a bit of a systematic problem with some polling though.
