The Current Thrust of Statistical Development
My gut feel is that one of the reasons Obama won is that his campaign managers collected and used statistics better than McCain’s, coming up with a campaign strategy that sought greater voter participation. They believed that voters who were likely to vote for Obama had not been enthusiastically voting in the past so they worked hard on getting them to the election booths.

Can better use of better statistics make you become the president of the only superpower of the world? You had better believe it!
