"as I look at it" and "as I see it"

And right now, as I look at it, we fully expect that Kevin [Kolb] is going to be with us, and we'll honor that contract as it is, obviously.

As I see it, there are really only two options. We can either go to having an elected school board, or we can have a school board that is appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
Do the phrases "as I see it" and "as I look at it" mean the same thing?

Yes, essentially. Just as with the simple verbs 'look' and 'see', 'as I look at it' carries a slightly more dynamic tone to it (a tone of active research), where 'as I see it' seems a slightly more passive activity. These are, I think, unimportant nuances that may not be observed by the authors.
