After I read it, it was very easy to understand his comments, not that I was questioning him before. It is a very interesting quick read.
I work in West Palm Beach and I have a friend who feels the polls are wrong based on his circle of associations. I had to take him to a map and show him we are here, which is mostly democratic and this is the rest of the country. I used www.electoral-vote.com and he was pretty depressed for the rest of the day. hehehe
