I sent out email announcements for the Tuesday Tracker for the last couple of weeks, prompting many participants to return. But the response from DailyKos has dropped off, and the usual Ron Paul swarms haven’t been materializing. This week, instead of posting diaries across the political blogosphere right at noon, I’ll try late afternoon or early evening.

I’m not doing much actual development these days. I’ve been putting time into promoting the site, getting some political writing off my chest (here and here), spending a long weekend at a friend’s wedding in West Virginia, and even doing some real-world work.

There has been one small behind the scenes advance, however… I’ve created a better metric to express Depth. For now it’s only available in the sproc I use to generate these results, but it will eventually support graphing of depth score changes over time. The new score divides each candidate’s current version of the depth score by the sum of all the depth scores in that poll. Since the adjusted scores will always sum up to 1, it will be easier to track changes week by week.

Once again, the Democrats run Edwards/Obama/Kucinich. It was a Ron Paul week for the Republicans.
