i came across not only an interesting article, but an interesting website in total…

i am a sucker for anything hockey related and i have been thinking a lot about “hockey mom” analogies since the sarah palin anouncement.  clearly, i cannot think fast — or creative — enough as sean quinn seems to have done it for me:

Sarah Palin Is Not A Hockey Mom

then i started reading all the graphs and charts on either side of the article.

wow.

the stuff on the right hand side — pun intended? — is what i have been looking for — for a while.  consolidated/averaged out poll numbers on a per state basis.  all the major (and some minor!) poll data is there and then crunched up.  truly interesting stuff if you like numbers and percentages and stuff…  you know you do!
