LTC #3: Public Dialogue and Debates Focus: VP/Election News

We're in the heart of this election.  What do you think?  Did you watch the Democratic convention?  Will you watch the Republican one?

What do you think of Biden?  Palin?  "Childgate"/"Troopergate"?

I'll give my opinions, but I need yours, too!

I have a few references that I like that I think you will too.  They're both pollsters, but get different results.  Check them out:

http://fivethirtyeight.com/ - Made by a Baseball statistician.  Read the methodology.

http://electoral-vote.com/ - Just a collection of polls.  Very interesting (and good) analysis.

An interesting "WikiFact" ((C) Noah Coolidge 2008) that I just found on Wikipedia:  Sarah Palin was, durring the 1990's, a member of a secessionist party.  The party, the Alaskan Independence Party, hopes to withdraw Alaska from statehood.

After further research, I found that similar efforts are underway in New Hampshire, Vermont, New England, California, South Carolina, Texas, and Hawaii.  Several towns and counties also have similar questions.  Apparently, nullification is still an issue!  I wonder where Obama is on this...  (Hawaii is where he was born.)  Mostly, libertarians and conservatives want independence.
