Science, math and hard work win over gut feeling
My son is working on PhD political science. Told me months ago Obama would win, and win big. They were using new methods and models for targeting voters who could be won if you got them the right facts. Not bullshit, not promises, lots of personal contact and facts on issues and events. The repubs knew this, and could have copied it to some extent, but they thought it was a bunch of smarty-pants math and science, but politics is gut feelings and hunches and old contacts. This opinion fits perfectly with their overall hatred of math and science. These are the guys that don't believe in global warming, evolution, stem cell research, and they didn't believe the polls that showed them losing. The boy says this election will revolutionize the way future races will be run, maybe though, just maybe, the GOP will ignore it a few more years. Hang in there Rove, maybe you can help Jeb

he could be, but I think Fox will keep him, they can't help it.
