2009 Election Math: Hood-by-Hood

Neighborhood-by-neighborhood. I know that Keir Murray has done his own analysis, with a few tweaks of this. Ironically, this was my effort to harken back to the more classical Dr. Murray approach to viewing the vote patterns around town.

I'll drop this in the 'pedia later today and show some of the math behind it. Nickel version is that I look for about 5-6 precincts per neighborhood to get a feel for each one.
