Another New Blog

Well, this is blog attempt #3 and #2 on Blogger. While my Livejournal site is still alive and well, Blogger is more functional and better suited for my purposes. Plus it allows me to use colored type, which is a useful feature, at least for a subject that attempts to divide America into blue and red teams. Since Blogger ate my first site, or at least has decided that I should not be allowed to submit new posts, it was time to start another blog. Anyway, I hope to have a Big Board up sometime tomorrow, maybe even late tonight if I decide to skip on the commentary.

I should add one bit of warning about my prognostication. In case, you don't know me personally (and if you don't why are you reading the political predictions of some random graduate student) I should state for the record that I am a Democrat (and a partisan one at that). While I'll do my best to remove any personal bias, I'm only human and my political preferences will undoubtedly slip through. Granted, my predictions in 2006 were more or less dead on (right in margin with the House, right in margin and individual seats in the Senate, and one off with Governorships). However, even I'm not particularly sure if that result was because I managed to set aside my partisan views or if the field was just so favorable to the DEMS, that even azure colored glasses weren't enough to warp my predictions. Guess I'll find out when everyone else does.
