Who are you rooting for? Take the poll.

UPDATE: Woohoo! Saints! Great game.

UPDATE (David): Check it out – every time you use bit.ly to create a short URL for a link here at the Swing State Project, you’ll now get a link to our new “ssp.bz” (think “buzz”) micro-domain, such as: http://ssp.bz/7se2hb. This is especially great for Twitter users – whenever you see an ssp.bz link, now you’ll always know the source, regardless of who tweets it. This hotness is courtesy bitly.Pro, a free service which launched tonight.

P.S. You should follow @SwingState on Twitter.

UPDATE 2 (David): So I didn’t have my explanation of bitly.Pro quite right. It turns out that for now, only the editors of SSP can create ssp.bz links. The ability to make that universal hasn’t been rolled out yet. But even so, any time you see an ssp.bz link on Twitter or elsewhere, you’ll know it’s from us.

Also, since sapelcovits brought up the “What congressional district do you live in?” question, I thought I’d bring back this Frappr map we created when we first asked this question a couple of years ago. You can joint to show fellow SSPers where you’re from (no personal information is revealed):

How many bags could a teabagger bag if a teabagger could bag teabags?

Or maybe we should be asking: What race isn’t interesting?

This is the end… my only friend, the end.

SSP is taking the rest of the year off. Have a Happy New Year!

The most hilarious, devastating, and insightful smackdown of the nightmare that was “The Phantom Menace,” part one:

The rest can be found here. Happy holidays!

First, please follow our new-and-improved Twitter feed. Rather than have our RSS feed automatically pump out each post, we now lovingly handcraft our tweets from the finest artisanal electrons. So follow SSP today.

Second, if you haven’t already seen it, check out our awesome redistricting contest. There’s babka in it for the winner (natch). UPDATE: Check it out – we have our first entry, from MattTX2. Nice work!
