f(x) = a*sin(x)
What is "a"?

I think that it is going to be more enormous than even the most optimistic of us thought. The story of this election is not going to be the machines or the intimidation or the dirty tricks or sleezy ads. The story of this election is going to be the turnout. The sub-story is going to be the Hispanic turnout.

I believe that George W. Bush has awakened a monster, and the monster's name is "America." I never thought I would say this, but I will: "Thank you, Shrub."

1. Well, Bush
certainly recruited lots of Members of DU!

So in a way, he is a "uniter".

2. One thing about the Frat Boy
When asked for an opinion about him, very few are undecided.

3. Are you saying this is the inflection point?
I would like to think of an asymptote. One where we're all approaching an intelligent Democracy.

Maybe it's just MATH. :)


PS- Yep. He woke me up.

5. a is the height of the curve above or below the x-axis
Sin(x) is a curve that oscillates between 1 and -1 so if a is 5, it would oscillate between 5 and -5.

6. Please spare me the details.....
did we beat the spread?

I think voter turnout WILL be the big story. Maybe the voter apathy is beginning to recede.
