Professor Sam Sez . . .

Well, folks. We are three and a half weeks away from Election Day and being bombarded hourly (I don't think "minutely" is a word) with all kinds of news/op-ed pieces which is very hard for the Sleehster to track and add to Randompolitik.

That said, I think this article by Sam Wang of the Princeton Election Consortium (some say academic think tank, others say pointy-headed liberals in an ivory tower) is worth your reading. Essentially Prof. Wang is telling us:

1. Best Uncle Grumpy and Gidget can do is blunt a blowout by Barack. I think he is thinking "Clinton vs. Dole" territory.
2. Yer pissin' into a hurricane if you think $100 to either campaign is going to make a difference at this point.
3. Focus on the margins -- at this point, House and Senate races are where the action are.
