Want to geek out on some Presidential Election polling?  I suggest Nate Silver's blog, FiveThirtyEight, at the NY Times site.  Silver was the one voice I remember correctly predicting the outcome of the 2008 election, among almost total agreement in the corporate press that the election was basically a toss-up. Hopefully working in the belly of the beast doesn't skew Silver's responsible, thorough, very shrewd perspective.
