of course when I have to see what the economic news brings

I did read that the prominent Republican talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is already blaming the economic crisis on Obama
我曾聽過一個著名的共和黨電臺主持林博已經將金融危機歸咎于奧巴馬
that was sort of anticipation of an Obama victory
似乎他當時已默認奧巴馬會贏得大選
and well we did see after the election the stock market fell again
的確 奧巴馬當選后 股票立刻暴跌
so Limbaugh that's yet more evidence this is one of the big factors behind it
雖然林博所說的沒有太多證據 但這的確是一個重要的原因
I should note that a number of other very right-wing conservative radio hosts
我還發現很多其他的右翼保守派電臺主持人
actually after the election has some pretty kind words to say for Obama, but not Rush

question is on controversies over voting irregularity
他的問題人們對于投票的無規律性的討論
at the county level there are some
從縣級數據上投票規律的確較弱
and if you look at 5 38 for example where you get this real heavy statistical analysis
你可以在5 38上找到一些例子 你在那個網站上可以找到深入的數據分析
here you look at some counties where the return is just bizarre
用這些數據和一些縣的實際情況對比 你會發現一些奇怪的情形
they just don't seem in line with what they should be
實際的投票結果和分析的并不一致
and simply from a statistical vantage point
僅從數據的不一致上來分析
he's able to say it looks like something fuzzy is going on it
這有可能是由一些不可知的因素導致的
but these are small and isolated incidents
但這都是些低概率的獨立事件
certainly whenever you're gonna have a razor-thin margin
這種不一致性常常發生在支持率相差無幾的選舉中
as you did in 2000
例如2000年的大選
you're gonna have controversies like that
這種選舉結果當然更具爭議性
where you have that what was a 60% or so margin
而如果一方以60%以上的支持率獲勝
that's big enough, it's really not an issue
不一致性導致的差異可以被忽略
it'll be interesting to see with the Minnesota Senatorial Race
我們可以關注一下 明尼蘇達的參議員選舉
because it is statistically speaking a tight race
從數據來看 雙方目前不相上下
and it'll be interesting to see how that plays itself out
我們可以對最后的結果 拭目以待
