I recently was called on the phone to do a survey.  This survey was only the second time I was willing to go through with it.  A very short, two-minute one this time.  If it's about opinions, issues, ideas, I'll take it.  If it's about what toilet paper I use, I'm really not interested. 

I feel like there's a lot of people who are unwilling to put up with phone surveys.  My father and sister always refuse.  I can understand that, but I think I have a little more respect for such things.  Lots of political scientists use them for empirical data.  Although anyone with an honest bone in their body would have to admit, they all have limited usefulness because people are changeable.  People can change their answer on a given question based on how they woke up that morning.  I don't have proof of that, but determining who is going to win an election is not like proving the existence of gravity.

I actually took a course on quantitative analysis.  It had some really complicated formulas- and I am not talking about variance or standard deviation.

So, Democrats voting in Wyoming and Mississippi.  Somehow I don't think Obama and Clinton will be campaigning there afterwards.  I have to say, I really did not think they would be focused on winning in Pennsylvania.  Campaigning in April was something of the past, I thought.

I really don't see NAFTA being significantly changed.  Just a teensy bit of catering to the voters, I think.
