I'm not sure just how true this is but it sure gave me a warm fuzzy feeling when I read it.

I'd feel better if the article said that Democrats had actually committed to doing something about changing the status quo. It's implied, but not actually said.

I agree. As with most politicians, everything is implied but they won't take a stand on anything until there have been 27 studies done on the subject and even then they will leave themselves room for spin. We'll just have to be patient I guess.

Is there Causality?

Postby lwestatbus » Mon Nov 13, 2006 1:36 pm GMT

The article doesn't claim causality but implies it. While I don't disagree that the three close races cited could have been swayed by gambler votes 'at the margin' the article's implied impact is much stronger than the evidence presented in the article warrants.

But the possibility is interesting.

I'm going to start a new thread in this topic forum.

I'm almost disappointed becuase I was really looking forward to bashing him around in 08.
