“And Barones opinion? Is that just wishful thinking on his part?”
That article Barone wrote wasn’t wishful thinking, it was punditry to sell more page views...fun and entertaining no doubt, but nonsense. Though I REALLY wish that anecdotal punditry translated to measurable, social science data, it doesn’t. The worst part is that even some of his anecdotes weren’t based on reality.
When I don’t see historical precedents COMBINED with numbers and data in an article about the election, I don’t take it as a data point, I take it as entertainment. Anyone that looks at that article as anything beyond that, just bought snake oil.
Look at my post #148.
You ever heard of garbage in, garbage out? Anything can look good if you overemphasize it enough. The MSM is really good at doing this - they tell you half a truth or nothing at all.
Did Benghazi really happen, even if we didn’t see it on the MSM news media outlets? Does a tree make a sound, if you’re not there to hear it?
Is there ever a point in your mind where the samples of Democrats becomes statistically ridiculous? That’s what we’re talking about here.
So Barone is risking his reputation to sell papers? Doubt it. We will soon see who was right,who was wrong.
