If I had a pet peeve I would name it dead heat. Because of the added excitement of a close race, every poll within the margin of error goes by the name of my imaginary pet. CNN headlines today that Florida is a dead heat--Romney 49, Obama 47. My peeve is barking incessantly at the statistical stupidity. It could be tied, but it is equally possible that Romney is up by 5. Let the numbers speak for themselves, so that I can keep my peeve quiet.
