Obama up big in early voting

FiveThirtyEight has Obama leading big, very big, in early voting states. While cautioning everyone that the early voting numbers are subject to statistical vagaries like any other subgroup, they did say this:

Nevertheless, Obama is leading by an average of 23 points among early voters in these five states, states which went to George W. Bush by an average of 6.5 points in 2004.

Our bank of These Bastards Statisticianarian Experts informs us that this lead would not have occurred without Obama's conquering of the X-Box realm and subsequent enslavement of its easily swayed, cheeto-filled populace.

Added happy note: The Minnesota Senate race between Al Franken and Norman Bertram Freemason Coleman is now listed in the "tilting Dem" category.
