Ranger,

How does an n of 37 on a question about which is safer, Chicago or NYC, reflect at all on how safe Chicago is now versus how safe it was in the past?

And how involved do you think Obama was last year? I mean, seriously, do you think a Senator, any Senator, by leaving his position, can cause a 10% drop in anything? You sound a bit crazy when you try to attribute a 10% drop in crime this year to Obama's being President instead of Senator.
