What are your favorite sites for analysis and discussion of the upcoming U.S. elections? One of my favorites is FiveThirthyEight.com. The site was launched by Nate Silver, previously best known for his work on development statistical approaches to project the performance of baseball players. He has now applied similar statisical approaches toward analyzing U.S. elections. Silver’s quantitative analysis is complemented with writings by Sean Quinn, who is traveling across the U.S. and providing in-depth reports on the mood and activities in different locations.

My favorite is http://www.Politico.com . It is well structured, presenting a wide variety of reactions to its posts, and to my view it brings up very relevant analysis.
Funny enough I was just reading about this is the latest copy of Social Education.

I’m trying to find a good website for Nov. 4. Anyone know of sites posting live exit poll predictions?
When I was an “election website junkie” (the last few weeks up until and even shortly after Obama’s election) I enjoyed reading Gawker.com, DailyBeast.com, Politico.com, in addition to some of the right-wing sites like NationalReview.com. Now? I’m happy to skip them and read my daily Yahoo! news digest.
