Slog - Comments on Today in Presidential Politics; Or, 13 Days Until the Iowa Caucuses http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/today_in_presidential_politics_or_13_day Ok, yes, 13 Days: Commenters have been questioning my ability to count the days until the Iowa caucuses. Look, depending on whether you count today it's either 13 days or 14 days until the caucuses. But the New York Times says 13 days, so I will change my today-counting ways. Moving on: Giuliani feels fine, but won't say exactly what was ailing him. Facts are stubborn things: And yet Mitt Romney has consistent trouble with them. Woman on the cross: Noonan finds Huckabee's Christmas commercial "so sweet-appalling." Ludicrous: Condoleezza Rice comes up with a different way to describe Huckabee....

I was hoping you'd keep up with the New Math. Then on January 2nd you could tell us that tomorrow is two days away, Little Orphan Annie be damned!

It conjures images up I'd rather not see.

Thanks!

It's the votes that are turned away, turned off, or uncounted by electronic machines we don't even have source code for that lack an auditable paper trail.

What's one day from today?  Tomorrow, right?  So if you count today, it's 13 days.

I suppose it could be 14 days if you count today twice...

In those areas, you don't count today. Today is not one day from today.

And you don't count Saturday or Sunday or Holidays in periods less than seven days ... but that's Day Counting 401.
