Polls, pundits, and parliamentary systems

I spent part of this past weekend engaged in some really fun discussions. Between dinner on Friday night (with discussions of the Knesset, the Canadian parliament, and the concept of IRV) and lunch on Sunday (with discussions of polling data, bounces, and expected swings of undecided voters) I had a great time. You know, it really is fun when you get to use the stuff you're learning in classes in everyday conversations and you actually have some idea of what you're talking about. :)

Now if only I had enough time to write to all the friends of mine that I owe letters to. <waves to a certain Californian>.
