Rejoice in your everyday anarchy, because politics is by necessity a zero-sum game; one candidate will win and others will lose. Obama surges, Clinton crashes. Republicans gain a House seat, the Democrats drop one. Of course, there’s a place for politics, and its well and good to devote time and thought to it, but at some point we have to take a break from red and blue maps, from tables of poll numbers, from endorsement speeches, and from the scandal du jour...

"I expect Clinton would benefit from 'early' early voting only because her polling numbers were higher before the campaign came to Texas," Stein said. "Since this weekend her polling numbers have dropped, producing a dead heat between her and Obama. She continues to drop in the overnight polls." That means, Stein believes, that she will do better with early voters than election day voters, and prognosticators are predicting a record, perhaps two-million-plus turnout in the Democratic primary, more than double...
