Pundit Boxscore for Wednesday 26 January 2005

CALIFORNIA: I'm leaving this morning for a quick business trip to California, to discuss modeling of the winds in the Altamont Pass with some colleagues at UC Davis. I went to first and second grade in San Diego, but it's been a long time since I've set foot in the state. I'll have to catch up on columns this weekend.



Lines in yellow indicate a substantive crossover column, meaning that the column is of opposite sign to the pundit's Normalized Total PI for the season, and contains at least five non-neutral partisan references.
Lines in gray indicate that the pundit has been classified as inactive, meaning that their columns are not currently being evaluated for partisanship.
Democratic references in blue, Republican in red, positive references in bold, negative in italics.
