Would recognize them. The counties, you never would. Gardner ran behind romney. It was a rural issue, not an acrosstheboard issue. The same thing is true in other places as well. Iowa, its less obvious but the same distinction prevails. Then the question is, what does this mean for 2016 if what were seeing is not a uniform swing but a localized swing . And is this a turnout question . Well, ive done two states, colorado and iowa, and colorado keeps moving up. But the differential, if you compare 2014 turnout to the 2012 turnout, is not very great. Its slightly higher as far as the percentage of people voting in rural areas versus urban areas, in 2014 versus 2012, but not enough to explain the difference. The reason joni ernst won is not because republicans were an unusual share of the electorate.

And i think its a fundamental misunderstanding of the technology. If you look at the congress of the United States that has anywhere between a 9 and 13 approval rate, and look at the most common profession its lawyers, okay . With respect to the lawyers in the audience, i took classes at the Harvard Law School when i was there, so im not antilawyer. But if you look at the chinese ruling party, the communist, you know, committee there, the ten members there all ten of them have ph. D. S in electrical engineering, some sort of advanced violence right . So fundamentally, they understand science. And i think the lack of s. T. E. M. Literacy on the part of our National Leadership and individual citizens is going to be a big problem that will lead to National Security threats that we dont understand. You talked about earlier about the subtitle of your book, that everyone is connected, and were only getting more connected because when out comes to Businesses Technology companies, this concept

The only change is the is to move it from section 2a11 to the end of section 2b. The reason relates to effective enforcement in the rule of law dwoesh dwoesh negotiating objectives. In particular, the dispute settlement objectives require ustr to seek provisions that treat the United States principal negotiating objectives yawly with respect to the availability to resort to dispute settlement under the applicable, availability of equivalent remedies.
