All right, maybe it was that I'd been up too late last night, as usual, reading dKos. Maybe I was influenced by the story about
Berlusconi spamming Italian cell phones with text messages. Maybe it was seeing the recent superb thread triggered by
Canadian poll results...
Whatever the reason, this morning as I hovered between sleep and wakefulness, I found myself half-dreaming of a hand-held device very like a cell phone -- well, no, come to think of it, it looked exactly like my husband's new cell phone. But this device was set up to access political poll results, in every country, with drill-down capability to the finest geographic divisions. With a touch of a button you could navigate to various graphical representations, and I knew (without actually doing it in my dream) that come any election time, election results would be available with the same menu-driven ease and in the same kind of detail.
A political junkie's dream? Well, yes, of course. That's exactly what it was.
