Writing on the Wall invites observations, opinion, and reports by political writers, activists, legislators, and community leaders on the state of politics, the electorate, and the nation at large. Contributions will be ongoing and will cover both contemporary elections and electoral history as well as the contemporary political landscape of the country, both nationally and locally.

PollTrack will take a break from regular reporting next week to prepare for our coverage of the 2012 Presidential cycle. But do check in next week: we will have additional analysis of the 2010 and late updates. Plus, we will resume our weekly assessment of President Obama's approval ratings.

In the coming weeks, PollTrack will introduce an innovative map devoted to tracking Election 2012, specifically the relative state of the incumbent Democratic president and a generic Republican challenger in their state-by-state hunt for electoral votes. Two years out, PollTrack will test the mood of all 50 states (and DC), gauging the mood of the country, its regions, and states as the current president nears his bid for reelection.
WRITING ON THE WALL will continue to report on statewide trends for local and national political figures, taking a look at upcoming local races in 2011, and their implications for the upcoming national cycle in 2012.
PRESIDENTIAL: In addition to our innovating tracking of the 2012 Election, the presidential page will continue to follow the relative popularity of the Obama administration as well as national trends for the Republican and Democratic Part as well as any independent parties.
VOICES ON THE GROUND: Will resume next year with reports from Americans on the ground--political and cultural figures and interested citizens, alike--reporting on local political and cultural trends leading up to the 2012 cycle, from the perspective that matters most: with voters on the ground.
So stay tuned to PollTrack.

It's 1:30 in the East. I'd had a long day, so I'm signing off. I will resume analysis tomorrow morning. Thanks for tuning in and for being patient. We wound up the evening with all of the big questions answered, and most of the smaller ones, too.
