Poblano of fivethirtyeight, it turns out, is Nate Silver of Baseball Prospectus. I remember reading Nate before I got into politics, back in 2003 when I was wondering what good I was accomplishing in the world applying my left-brain math knowledge to baseball when there's a war going on, George Bush was trying to pass more tax cuts with terrible budget gimmicks, etc. So I dove into politics, hoping to shed some light on polling information and budget flim-flammery.
If this keeps up I'm going to find people I played ultimate frisbee with in college, Georgia ARML team members, and other kids in the Brookwood Boys starting political blogs.
