In light of the D+14 Marist poll today, here is a histogram of CPVI rankings for current house seats, binned in 3-point bins (except for EVEN).
Within 6 points of even, the Democrats have 58 and the Republicans 47, plus the 9 even, so in a normal election there are about 114 competitive seats.

Can you total this check and calculate a 20% tip?
If you can, you're smarter than 3/4 of high schoolers, apparently.

Just shy of 5 feet of snow on Mount Washington this month so far, well ahead of any year in the past two decades.

There were plenty of frozen puddles this morning, but Logan airport once again bottomed out at 34° this morning (the 4th 34° reading this month, with one day at 33°).
So, when will Boston have its official first freeze?
