I've said elsewhere that Barone deserves some sort of award for his work on Fox on Election Night. Never seen anything like it. I was fascinated by the way he zeroed in knowledgeably on county after county...a veritable human election computer.
you are so correct.
Barone got me through the night. I couldn't wait for his updates.
He was nailing Estrich to the wall with cold facts.
Barone did stellar work for Fox and brought sanity back into the election. When I got home from poll watching all day and heard little whiny Susan whatserface repeat the exit polls I thought I was going to die...then Barone kicked in with his brilliant analysis...life was good...oh so good!
go buy his most recent book as a thank you! That's what I did tonight-- Hard America, Soft America-- $22. If you get a chance, his c. 1990 book "Our Country" is a great read. I got the impression that he became Republican under Reagan.
