All polls are focused on popular vote, which is a parlor game. It is the electorals that matter. That's the flaw..why don't people see that?

No one is going to recall the guy who picks Obama by 10 electorals if it turns out to be 150 margin. Believe me.

Monkeys throwing feces at an electoral map would have a much more sound prediction

I don't follow anyone's stock picks because I am convinced that I should not be trying to pick stocks. I invest 60% of my retirement in stocks and pretty much forget about it except to check about once a year to see how many more years I probably have to work full time.
