My previous post intended to suggest that one should be careful not to use polls to predict, but rather to anticipate based on past trends. Ari Fleischer has taken a different approach to the problem, to wit, forget the numbers and the polls and just make a wish list: 309 electoral votes for Romney. That is impressive--as would be lunch on Mars. Just saying it does not make it true. As far as landslides go, this would not be enormous (Reagan beat Mondale 525/13. But I cannot see any numbers that lead to such a conclusion. This is what is to be expected from "post-fact politics".
