11:12:59 I just caught up on polls 4 my 2016 election stuff! But there were no updates here. Those interested can now follow @ElecCollPolls for that.
11:17:30 Once I officially вЂњlaunchвЂќ the site I’ll blog about significant changes 2 the poll analysis. But 4 raw details, follow @ElecCollPolls. :-)
11:20:01 My target for officially launching the electoral college analysis stuff is anytime between now and Nov 4th.
11:21:32 Obviously the вЂњbetaвЂќ stuff has been available for months, but I have 1 or 2 more things I want to add/adjust, then I’ll make it official.
11:23:44 Moving the twitter updates to a separate account was the top of that list. Finished that tonight. More when I have some time to spareвЂ¦
11:45:57 Perhaps staying up until 5 AM on a day when later I’ll be attending a midnight movie wasn’t the brightest idea. Time for bed. #CapalDay

15:59:23 Retweeted @brendanloy 15:56:41 But to call #ISIS the biggest threat EVER is just historically ignorant. They could commit ten 9/11s, God forbid, and that'd still be false.
