“I try to only follow electoral races in highly digested form” —that is, thru the lens of the political prediction markets.

Excellent formulation by Mike Linksvayer.

Tells a lot about the usage of the prediction market probablities, and how we should market them to people. BetFair, InTrade and TradeSports, are you listening?

I check prices at Intrade most days, which gives me a more accurate and much more concise status update than any amount of time spent reading or watching commentary.
