One Week to Go....Thank God

As a baseball lover, Nate Silver and his PECOTA projections have always been a useful way to try out the upcoming season.  As an owner of Baseball Prospectus he certainly has my eye.  So what should I find in my daily roaming but a website called fivethirtyeight,  http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/

Developed by the Nate it is an extensive look at the upcoming election and the numerous polls that are produced.  As someone who appears to be a neutral and evaluates the data on statistics I would hope that the data he provides is the clearest indication of what we might expect next week.  I thought it would be neat to take a snapshot today and see what actually happens next week.  It will be interesting to see what happens in the Senate.  With the potential of a 2/3s majority looming it could be a slam dunk.  It will also make the 2010 elections a potential flipflop like 1994 if the Democrats don't get their stuff together and prove that they deserve to be the leading party.  Should be interesting...
