Comment on Obama's Dataparent

Comments

What is this new graph supposed to illustrate?

An old hobbyhorse of mine: the perception of data is directly linked to how it is presented. (See also http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=802439 although I think I've done it maybe three times on HN.)

Are you isamuel like "Ian who has known me for a decade" isamuel? If so, you already know this. If not, trust me on this: I have strong political beliefs, generally do not communicate them in code, and have almost zero desire to discuss them on HN. (Though if Obama is A/B testing that page I am so there for that discussion.)
