    Normally this would be the place in the back-and-forth where you state the exact math you are referring to in an effort to to support your point. I'm going to guess you are referring to polls as "math." The polls have dipped close to margin of error territory at times. They are sending Obama in to campaign. But I'll be sure to let everybody know that Regan MacNeil has guaranteed a win.

    Nope. Look at Clinton’s immediate run to the middle/triangulation in the ‘90s.

    Dude threw a bone to the mortgage industry and 100,000 new cops into the streets. That wasn't any kind of run to the middle.

    I've known Catholics like Barrett. Grew up among them.
    Many were teachers. Mean old nuns but smart as hell, and they put you ahead in the game when it was nut-cutting time.
    The sisters got me into the places I got into, I always believed that.

    Shrug. That was his style and his strategy, and he was elected President twice.

    Yeah, and how did that decade go for the rest of the party?

    I guess I'm saying I could buy that Barrett is brilliant if she showed any hint of it in these proceedings.

    There are two things that matter when these elections come around, and political party (or the dumb Santa Claus promises) aren't either.

    1) How do people feel they are doing economically heading into the election?
    2) STYLE and personality. A candidate with charisma is way more valuable than a candidate with some kind of substance.
