“The early voting data this year could be consistent with anything from a massive, Gallup-style Republican wave to the first sign of a major Democratic comeback.” http://bit.ly/cCCSMy. Well, I’m glad that’s settled! Bonus: a reference to “Schrödinger’s apple.”
What does Schrödinger’s have to do with Apple? Is this some way to explain Steve Jobs’ inimitable success in launching quirky new products?
hee hee – Could be, AMLT ;}

Not exactly. It’s my understanding that it would Be all Three simultaneously until you Taste (i.e., observe) it, at which point your tastebuds’ Observation collapses the 3 quantum-wave fruity-functions into One. :>
(But apart from all these duelling Prediction models, I suspect that when the actual Election QWF gets Popped by the Votecount a week from tomorrow, Your side, AML, will find itself in possession of a bigfat boatload of political Plums. 😉
Bah. HTML. Oh, well.

Esteemed Alasdair: as to “the local davidkians”, remember that Philosophically I’m still basickly a Branchk thereof. / Well. Perhaps a Twigk. / But, no Matter. ;>
As to my Subconscious: I doan’ Neeed no Steeenkin’ subconscious to tell me when My team is about to get its Arse (temporarily, & iundeservedly 😉 whupped.
Finally, in Regards to the asserted (Innocence) of your parenthetical (Grins): gimme a Break. Yer Smirks are approximately as Immaculate as is Mrs. Murphy’s interstate Chowdah. :>
True – the “temporarily” would indee4d be “undeserved” …
As fer yer last graf – Well, there’s a Chowdie-do ! (to paraphrase an interesting and intelligent Sullivan)
