There's a fabulous statistical analysis in The NY Times of Sunday, Nov. 19. It's by Thomas B. Edsall, a professor of journalism at Columbia University, who is the author of the book “The Age of Austerity: How Scarcity Will
Remake American Politics,” which was
published earlier this year.
published earlier this year.
Do you remember when R.L. vowed to leave the country if his guy lost? While the article doesn't mention that, it quotes R.L. lamenting the morning after Election Day that we now have a different country:
In a country of children where the option is Santa Claus or work, what
wins? And say what you want, but Romney did offer a vision of
traditional America. In his way, he put forth a great vision of
traditional America, and it was rejected. It was rejected in favor of a
guy who thinks that those who are working aren’t doing enough to help
those who aren’t. And that resonated.
The numbers quoted in the various surveys cited in this article are amazing. We are moving on. And some don't like it. Tough shit!
Read it and cheer, as R.L. and friends read it and weep:
