Dear Diary,
I’m loving this Newsweek article by Allison Samuels. I’ll have to remember her the next time I want a major publicity stunt to boost my ratings. Perhaps when I begin my campaign for the presidential nomination… But that’s such a long ways off – at least 8 years. For now, I have this article to read. And re-read…and re-read… And what an article! Never was much of a Newsweek fan, since they’ve done so many positive pieces on George W. Bush. But my opinion of them has certainly gone up, since they’ve been reporting so positively on Barack and myself.
Samuels writes that I’m going to “become the world’s most visible African-American.” YES! And not only that, she writes, “But perhaps more important – even apart from what her husband can do, Michelle has the power to change the way African-Americans see ourselves, our lives, and our possibilities.” YES! That is an amazing honor, especially considering the fact that I’m not even President yet. My husband is. But the fact that I will be the one changing the ways that African-Americans see themselves just shows how much social power and charisma I really have.
And of course, I can’t get enough of those Jackie O. comparisons. That woman is still known for her classy style, and I just hope that 50 years from now, I’ll be known for the same. Well, in addition to becoming the first female African-American president. Whew –a lot of barriers to break, but given my popularity already, I think it’s entirely possible.
Yours always,
Michelle

Recount Resumes, Razor-thin Margins Predicted
Who would've known that counting could be so complicated? Nate Silver, the geek superstar of this election season is predicting how this race will go down. Take a look at the formula he uses in his site FiveThirtyEight.com, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around some of the ideas he's throwing out there but I think it goes something like this: The challenged votes are really complicating things for Al Franken.
Using regression analysis, Silver predicts a Franken victory.
This regression is a bit difficult to interpret, particularly with the presence of all the interaction terms, but the key intuition is as follows. Suppose that the number of challenges is zero -- as will happen once the state canvassing board finishes considering all such challenges in December. In this case, all terms in the regression equation reduce to zero, except for the constant term and t, which is Franken's share of the two-way vote in that precinct. We are thus left with the following: franken_net = t * 8.922 - 3.622 Now, we can attempt to solve this equation at the statewide level. When we plug in a t of .499956 -- Franken was picked on just slightly very less than half of the ballots during the initial count -- we get a value for franken_net of .837. That is, Franken will gain a net of .837 votes for every 10,000 cast. With a total of 2,885,555 ballots having been recorded in the initial count, this works out to a projected gain of 242 votes for Franken statewide. Since Norm Coleman led by 215 votes in the initial count, this suggests that Franken will win by 27 votes once the recount process is complete (including specifically the adjudication of all challenged ballots).Now I wish I had stayed awake in Math Class, but you can look at his numbers, see if you can make some sense out of this. I trust Mr. Nate's projection, he did call the Presidential elections after all.

No More Amtrak Joe

Dear Diary,
Can’t believe it’s true, but for the first time since entering office in my early thirties, I’m actually moving to Washington, DC. No longer will I be known as “Amtrak Joe.” I think Jill has mixed feelings about the move, though bless her heart, she’s been my biggest supporter. She likes the idea of being Second Lady, but Jill will have to give up her teaching position at Delaware Technical & Community College, since I don’t think that daily Amtrak ride is quite her thing. But hopefully, she can get a similar teaching position while serving as Second Lady.
Never did like the title, “Second Lady.” It’s like Vice President. A diminished status, as if to say, not as good as the President or the First Lady. In my opinion, the Vice President should be called the Co-President. After all, we know Dick Cheney was really the one running the White House anyway. And I plan to have a bigger say than people realize when I’m in the White House. Of course, that will have to take place behind the scenes, but I’m going to be a hidden force in the White House, which means I should really be called the Co-President. It's a more inclusive title anyway. And aren’t we in the age of sharing? I’m sure Barack doesn’t want to evoke images of communism or socialism after those bizarre accusations during campaign season, but we’re approaching a new era. We’ve already made history once. Let’s do it again – with Vice President Co-President this time! And if I’m the Co-President, Jill should be called the Co-First Lady. It’s a little wordy, but come on – she’s not just going to be a pawn in the White House either.
Until next time,
Joe the Veep Co-Prez
