If you heard about Hillary Clinton breaking her elbow on the Today show this morning, you might be amused by the developing specultion. According to the Chicago Tribune's newspaper blog, quite a few conspiracy theorists look at this as more than a simple fall...
On the other side of the aisle, a blog that accumulates and analyzes polling and political data has articulated a hypothesis called The Palin Paradox. The paradox is that women are more likely to get elected in male-dominated districts. Although women are just 17 percent of the members of U.S. Congress, women are more likely to be serving than men in the male-dominated districts.
Although the blog offers A LOT of numbers and statistics, the writer clearly admits to being clueless why such an effect is happening. But his numbers confirm that there isn't another possible variable, and emphasize that it isn't just chance.
