I'm a huge fan of FiveThirtyEight.com, and while I don't always agree with Nate's conclusion, I respect his analysis and the process that he takes to reach the conclusions.
Although I'm not a statistician, and I received a very mediocre grade in my undergrad stats classes, I find his method interesting, and its actually convinced me to buy a stats book to learn more (of course, I haven't opened the book yet...but buying is the first step).
He's in this week's Economist (another favorite of mine), and you can catch the interview online...check it out:
