  • Finished entering in 2008 election data to http://t.co/Hvgjl16GdA Going back to 1996 before I'm done just entering stuff. 05:33:03
  • I might play with some nationwide summary stuff before finishing data entry though. We'll see. 05:33:29
  • OK, 3:15 AM, enough for tonight. 2 poll avg national summary now up: http://t.co/jIHfeqCWti (Need to backfill to 1996 to get 5 poll avg.) 10:25:06
  • And of course, it is way too early to take any of these polls very seriously anyway. Clinton dominates from name recognition alone. 10:25:49
  • I'm just trying to get all my stuff in place well in advance so I have plenty of time to refine and adjust and such before 2016 proper. 10:26:30
  • For instance, I've switched "Strong/Weak/Lean" to "Solid/Strong/Weak" as the names for my cats. Same boundaries for now, just diff names. 10:27:29

  • This is going a lot faster than I thought it would. I thought I would have trouble being done before 2016. At this rate I might make 2014! 10:39:08
