A reader comments, "Sounds like the fact that America [sic] disillusionment with the idea of a Kerry Presidency has had the effect of making you disinterested in the campaign." I think this reader meant "uninterested," but that's beside the point. I am indeed quite interested in the campaign, as evidenced by my taking a leave of absence from grad school and working about 110 hours a week (for non-mathematicians, that's just under 16 hours a day, 7 days a week) as an organizer in a get-out-the-vote office. I have more recent numbers for this little side project, but won't have the maps until tomorrow evening. There's been a glut of state polls lately, which is fantastic, but makes it a little hard to keep up with.
