This really is a big step....he has nothing to gain by going out on a limb and being wrong and everything to lose. He's not that much of a partisan because I recall being upset at him in the past because he went against my personal feelings.Am I wrong about this?

Michael Barone, author of Almanac OF AMERICAN POLITICS, updated yearly, is one of the most serious people in America. He is a guy that can be trusted to remove his political cap and tell it like it is...

If Barone says something, take it VERY seriously, he knows the leaning of every community in every state, he is a extraordinary fellow

I love the guy, was feeling discouraged until I read his piece yesterday

Barone is the ultimate political prognosticator. He litterally wrote the book that all the other guys read. And her re-writes it every two years. That book is called The Almanac of American Politics. Every other pundit,.news and polling organization depends on his deep knowledge.

He speaks softly and carries a big stick. He is definately a conservative, as evidenced by his occasional columns on topics other than elections in US News and World Report.

He is the ultimate “decision desk” resource, because he knows all the districts history and demographics.

Unlike many pundits he often doesn’t make predictions. My theory iscat he is off-put by Nate Silver.
