By Dave Andrusko Late in the day on Wednesday, a friend wrote a very kind note ending “Your election analysis is keeping me sane.” That is too generous by half, but is an indication of how so much post-November 6 commentary is either self-evident, at one extreme, or badly misreads what happened nine days ago, …
Continue reading "Nine days out and what can we say about the Election results?"By Dave Andrusko Beginning late Tuesday night (and I do mean late), we started to crunch some numbers. In this post we’ll add a few more, remembering that votes get tabulated for days and days after Election Day so what follows is not final, final. You already know from previous stories that the media myth …

Continue reading "Order National Right to Life News’ Election Special Today!!"By Dave Andrusko As we often do in the last post of the day, I’m going to touch on two topics and see what they cumulative might say to us. The first is from POLITICO which titled Darren Samuelsohn’s story, “Veterans retreating from President Obama.” The first sentence gets it all down in 20 words: …
Continue reading "Does every vote matter? Yes, and here’s why"By Dave Andrusko The New York Post’s headline for Jay Cost’s latest analysis of presidential polls–“Inside the ‘poll-ercoaster’”–is cute, slightly whimsical, and right on the money. There is simply no rhyme or reason (we’re excluding conscious bias for the moment) that explains the wide disparity, particularly in state polls. That gap is less the case …

More than30% of voters will cast their ballots for pro-life Mitt Romney or pro-abortion Barack Obama BEFORE November 6! Put another way, there aren’t 48 days until the election. “Voting …

When pro-lifers are elected, …

I remember like it was yesterday as he told the story of his daughter Sarah and their 1994 tour of Yad Vashem, a memorial to those who died in the Holocaust. …
