terrible. at the risk of total self-parity, since 1948, six winners have taken office with less than 50% of the vote. if you add in the guys who have not gotten to 51%, it goes up to 9. so in more than 50% of the elections since world war ii, the winner has not gotten above 51%. all righty. this is going to be this is the rule, not the exception. yeah. there are, just so you know in politico, there s some of these scenarios laid out by joe. new york times, romney s economic model by nicholas kristof. if you want to see how romney s economic policies would work out, take a look at europe. and weep. in the last few years, germany and britain, in particular, from implemented precisely the policies that romney favors, and they ve been richly praised by republicans here as a result. yet these days those economies seem, to use a german technical term, kaput.
