I hate to say it, but I will miss the poll-watching and navel-gazing [View all]

when this thing is over. It was maddening at times, but the whole rollercoaster of emotions that I would experience, sometimes in the course of a single day, is the kind of thing I live for. 538 and Princeton Election Consortium have been my Xanax, but when I felt like going for a wild ride, I could always ease over to RCP and look at each individual polls, analyze their internals, etc. to try to get a feel for the ebb and flow for this thing. I will miss the polls a little. Any other poll junkies feel the same way?

The Gravis, Gallups and Rasmussens of the world ruined it for me with their ridiculous polls.
