Yea...a tough read.

That feedback is helpful. Can you be specific? Too much math/theory up front? Too esoteric? Maybe start with the conclusion then defend it rather than building too it?

I enjoyed it.
Although while reading I did have a vague image of the debate over which cup of wine to drink in "The Princess Bride".

Point is simply that Beck's rally was never just about this November because it should be clear that the problem already fits your geometric model.
If Beck and others (us) can't aim beyond the immediate perception it's likiely to be over with.

I'm not trying to insult you, it was just too "deep" for me to get interested in. I'll admit, I'm 64 and my attention span isn't what is used to be, but like the other poster said, when I got to the lily pads, I said 'whaaaaa'? Then I clicked out of the thread.

They say "brevity is the soul of wit", so maybe you could par it down a little and make your point without all of the graphs. Cut it down by 1/3 and it might be more inviting to read.

I just don't have the time to get into it, sorry. But your grammar and spelling seemed excellent.
