I suspect that I’m not the only one here was has noticed that 538, during the past 48 hours, has been shifting back and forth from giving Biden a 90% chance to 89% chance of winning.
It’s not healthy that I know this. It’s not healthy that I’ve been refreshing 538 every few hours, when it’s quite obvious what the overall picture is. Nate Silver would probably be the first to say that such shifts are virtually meaningless. Lord knows there are a billion more productive things I could be doing (both in and outside the world of the campaign). And it’s certainly not healthy that these shifts are actually affecting my mood.
I offer this diary in the hope that, by confessing, I might somehow regain some perspective. And maybe it’s because my misery can use some company.
Please someone: take my access to the internet away, at least until the actual votes are getting counted!!
