I know it is long but please watch this!! It shows how the world’s democracies are turning to conservative leaders. Why should we change that tactic since it seems to be the preferred point of view by the people of the world? Also watch closely the facts about the US economy and job growth compared […]

I am just not sure about the news that PA is in play, but if it is then Obama surely cannot win, even if he takes VA. But here are some stories confirming both GOP and Dem internal polls showing PA is in play. Story one: Pennsylvania The one blue state McCain hopes to grab […]

Major Update: DJ Drummond (another poll skeptic like me) has discovered another indication that the poll weighting of party for party ID are nonsensical and Obama may be in some serious trouble. Before I get to DJ’s analysis I want to address comments about early voting typically being led by Republicans. While true, early voting […]

Last week Senator Obama came to Northern Virginia – Leesburg to be exact. There he pulled a crowd of 10,000 people (though almost half left before he was even done speaking?). Today Governor Sarah Palin came to Leesburg, VA and also pulled a crowd of 10,000 people. A picture of the event this cold autumn […]

Reader Frogg passed along this really interesting commentary from a professional pollster who is (a) a die hard Obama supporter and (b) laughing at the public polls: I was having dinner a night ago with a friend of mine who is a statistician for a well-regarded private polling company. They do some work for Republicans […]

Jay Cost posted a good tutorial on the mathematics of polls, but left one case out where statistical models start to show two different possible outcomes. These are called bimodal results, where there is no consensus on a single result, but actually two highly probably results are possible. A graph of a bimodal statistical model […]

  Mad Jack Murtha has a special place in the liberal leftward fevered swamps – the man is border line insane. He accused fellow Marines of killing innocent Iraqis without any evidence or thought, and then did not have the backbone to apologize as one after another was cleared of the charges.  Lately Mad Jack […]

Something big is happening in Northern Virginia. I have been out of the country for a week and I came back home to the place I was born, raised and where I raised my family to find I did not recognize it. The area has become obsessed with the presidential election! There are signs everywhere […]

Update: Seems this was all a lie. Sorry folks, but I was traveling 12 hours before I could get to a point to make the update. Obama asked his followers to go out and get “in their face”, speaking of independents and McCain-Palin supporters. We know the leftward fevered swamps can be a trashy place […]

Last night I posted about how the Fairfax County Registrar was trying to reject 98% of the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballots from our military. Apparently that issue is going to be solved and the ballots will be counted. Read more here. DJStrata
