US Election Update - 27th October

- Obama is literally spending McCain into the ground. This article looks at his buying of TV advertising.

- Young voters in Colorado.

- Conservatives for Change (a YouTube video of people who vote Republican, but who now favour Obama). You might also want to read Andrew Sullivan's "Top 10 Reasons Conservatives Should Vote Obama."

- Nate Silver has become the pollster/analyst to watch. His website, FiveThirtyEight, is worth a read over the final days of the campaign. It uses the demographic composition of each state, plus the various state and national opinion polls, plus 10 000 "WarGames" style simulations each day, to try and predict the outcome of the US presidential election.

- Christopher Hitchens hates Sarah Palin. Things are getting weird when I'm on the same side of an argument with Hitchens.
