Ron Paul would have won Ohio, New Hampshire, Virginia, Iowa, and Florida.
A few stray thoughts and observations in the aftermath of the 2012 election -- on substance, process, and tactics:
(1) The polls were broadly right, both at the state and national levels -- a dichotomy that I believed to be unlikely in the extreme as recently as yesterday morning. The electorate ended up being D+6, nearly on par with 2008, and six points better than the 2010 midterms. I was wrong about this, as were a good number of other observers. The 2012 party ID figures from Gallup and Rasmussen upon which my assumptions were based were...
a viable 3rd Party option in this country as of this time. Perhaps we should explore that--only with a
candidate who can present some common sense ideals & principles, minus all the loony tune con-
spiracies & idiocies.
