12:26:04 To be clear, it has been obvious for quite some time that @IsraeliPM policy was to scuttle deal, but this more direct open language, no?
12:27:21 Or did I miss it? (Very possible.) My immediate thought on hearing thisвЂ¦ They must be afraid the deal is getting VERY closeвЂ¦
12:32:59 Wonder just what @IsraeliPM will do to stop it. Not that they might not fail to agree anyway even without sand thrown into gears.
12:38:14 Found some similar but not quite as strong statements from a few days ago. Just slowly ramping up? AnywayвЂ¦ Bed time.

Electoral College: Bush pulls ahead of Clinton in Florida

On Thursday I mentioned that if the current trend continued, new polls would push Bush into the lead in Florida and North Carolina before long. Well, only a couple days later, we have yet to see it in North Carolina, but we have that new poll in Florida.

Florida is big (29 EV), so this of course makes a big difference on the national trend chart:

chart-11

Will more states start flipping in Bush’s direction? Keep your eyes out over the next few months, the campaign is slowly getting into gear!

In the meantime, Clinton vs Bush looks like this:

Screen Shot 2015-02-07 at 17.59.34881

And we have just a tint of red down in Florida…

chart-12

(Three electoral college posts from me in one week! Hopefully this isn’t the new normal quite yet…)

00:59:03 Hmmm, Monmouth asks who would make a better president, not who you would vote for. So guess this doesn’t count, huh? http://t.co/OYLEZr9oxl
01:07:39 On that Monmouth poll, I’ve seen a # of news outlets reporting on it as IF it was a head to head election poll. But it isn’t. Sigh. Torn.
01:09:32 For now I’m not including it, but if I see others include it, I may flip. But asking who would be best is NOT same as asking who gets vote.
01:10:23 I mean, they should be similar. Most people would vote for candidate they thought was best, but some may have other reasons for their vote.
