Fairfax County is one of the wealthiest counties in the Nation, Rikyrah. Average household income is $90K a year, and that's ONE PERSON, so a couple is hauling in twice that to be considered lower middle-class.

He values his woman.

He values his children–who are girl children who will become women.

Women take note: Compare this man to someone like Clinton. Or Bush. Or Reagan. All of these men had girl children. Remember how they turned out–or didn't…

THIS is by far, one of the MAIN reasons why I love this dude.

I love the fact that he is unashamed to SHOW his love and affection, and MAKE TIME for his WIFE and his CHILDREN. And, it's a HEALTHY family.

If Obama, whose schedule is off the chain and regulated down to the second, can make time for shit, so can we (myself included).

Heh. Good one.

As much as I LOVE seeing pics of the girls, they are his daughters, and there's no overarching need to for us to know every second of his trick-or-treating time with them.

Also, as covered by http://www.fivethirtyeight.com.

Nate Silver writes:

Matt Drudge is touting the results of a one-day sample in a Zogby poll, which apparently showed John McCain ahead by 1 point.

There are a couple of significant problems with this.

Firstly, there is a reason that pollsters include multiple days of interviewing in their tracking polls; a one-day sample is extremely volatile, and have very high margins for error.

Secondly, the Zogby polls have been particularly volatile, because he uses nonsensical party ID weightings, which mean that his weighting process involves making numbers doing naughty things that they usually don't like to do.

Thirdly, Zogby polls are generally a lagging rather than a leading indicator. This is because he splits his interviewing period over two days; most of the interviews that were conducted in this sample took place on Thursday night, with a few this afternoon. The reason this is significant is because lots of other pollsters were in the field on Thursday night, and most of them evidently showed good numbers for Obama, as he improved his standing in 6 of the 7 non-Zogby trackers.

Finally, there was no favorable news for McCain to drive these numbers. Polls don't move without a reason (or at least they don't move much).

So go out to your Halloween parties and enjoy yourself, and we'll be back to covering the polls for you tomorrow.

At the risk of being sent to the corner: I just figured out Barack Obama's Halloween costume.

He's going as Bill Cosby.
