A fun little political thing

I know that I've certainly forgotten about politics entirely, but it's really only a year until the political season heats up again. This is a neat piece that Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight.com writes every month. It ranks states with 2010 senate races from most likely to see a party switch to least likely. This month, Missouri tops the list with an open senate seat likely to go to democrats.

The rest of the site is pretty interesting, too. There isn't that much to talk about on a national scale right now, though.
