An interesting site for polling is www.fivethirtyeight.com. The
resident expert is a baseball stats guy (he said the Rays would be in
the World Series), and it's fun to listen to him talk about his
methodology for the election (he was on Charlie Rose tonight, which I
haven't watched yet, but I've seen him interviewed a couple of times).
The site has enough info to keep any poll junkie happy for a long time
-- at least until the election.

I'm thinking that in this election the undecided voters are going to
act much differently than undecideds have in the past. After all, is
there anyone here who is undecided? (Well, maybe, as there are
probably lots who never post.)
