Fear PP, you might need an editor? spellchecker?
However, do like your projection! A.L. is so full of
himself he waddles. And as for cheating, he is, after all,
more of a liberal than anything else so what should one expect?
Yes, I’ve got to do a better job of spotting errors. Well, at least the cost of my vanities is reasonable. A 50-Kbyte image even less text.
We had some good comments here. Plus I like the idea that the Free Republic puts a stake in the ground calling out the hypocrisy of the NYTimes, enemy of the people.
Being an industry analyst, I guess my fascination is with the model building itself.
And as I think of it, Lichtman is trying to shoehorn 13 questions into elections from 1860 to today — and that’s totally unrealistic.
Think how the country has changed since 1860. Women and Blacks gained the vote. The automobile and the shift from rural to suburban life. America became a global power. The internet circles the globe and social media/search engines have enormous influence as newspapers steadily decline.
As Liz mentioned, how do you take into account the dislike for people like Hillary Clinton or the obvious decline in brainpower of Sleepy Joe?
Each period in history — and each election — requires a readjustment of the variables and weights. Keeping the same model unchanged is foolish — though I must admit that I thought it could be done until just now :- )
