Tipping point bug fixed. (It had to do with the edge case where I use 6 polls when 5 poll avg is on a category boundary.)

With today's poll updates, Clinton vs Huckabee moves into the top 5 "best polled" candidate combinations, displacing Clinton vs Ryan.
17:55:53
Current top five combos are Clinton vs Christie, Paul, Bush, Huckabee and Cruz in that order.
17:57:11
Going beyond that would get you Clinton v Ryan, Clinton v Rubio, Biden v Christie, Biden v Cruz and Biden v Rubio to round out the Top 10.
17:58:21
I base "best polled" on a weighted average of the length of time covered by the five poll average, with higher weight given to close states.

Bush best case vs Clinton has changed: Clinton 317 to Bush 221 -> Clinton 288 to Bush 250
http://t.co/8OOyC7226K
03:35:35
Actually, Clinton v Bush is MI 5 poll avg is exactly a 10% Clinton lead, on category edge, so avg was supposed to pull in 6th poll, did not.
03:36:52
I just fixed that bug. With 6th poll, avg is only 9.9%, so category stays Strong Clinton, not Solid Clinton.
03:43:46
Clinton vs Huckabee tipping point change: Clinton by 4.7 in FL -> Clinton by 6.7 in WI
http://t.co/UyBk5DLRGo
03:43:48
Huckabee best case vs Clinton has changed: Clinton 247 to Huckabee 291 -> Clinton 276 to Huckabee 262
http://t.co/UyBk5DLRGo
03:45:42
There is 1 other edge case I still have not addressed. If the 5th and 6th polls have the same middate, I really should include the 6th poll.
03:46:49
I will probably wait until I have a live example of that case to try to address it. Slightly tricker because of the way I'm calculating.

That looks like a duplicate tweet on the Clinton vs Paul change in Michigan. Second dup in recent days. Sigh. Guess more debugging needed.
05:25:23
Made a change that might have fixed that particular duplicate tweet bug. Thanks for your patience.
