While on the topic of poll analysis, do you have any thoughts on Andrew Tanenbaum's electoral-vote.com?
Ryan,
I haven't looked at Tanenbaum's site in detail but it looks more like a Realclearpolitics-style poll and news aggregator, and less like a 538 or Linzer-style modeling effort.
What I'm hoping is that, next time around, people will realize how silly these polls were, and just stop reporting them every day. Ain't gonna happen, I know, but I'm still hoping.
