Here's your problem, Keith, and it is typical. The question about strategy working for Repubs isn't answered by your data. It's not like measuring an ABM target or the ambient air temperature. The role of the federal gummit in the economy isn't certain. There are many variables. The lib think tank may provide a valuable service but stringing together data, subjectively applying it, presuming results doesn't settle the question nor conclusion. Anytime you get into economics you have a few go-to sources. Opposing view have theirs. The "dismal science." Stick to hard science. Even with GW, it's part data, part projections through complex models, some predicting far into the future. Then use that to make gummit policy for one country with limited control over a fraction of the variables. It's a loser for you but go ahead and save the planet.
Hil, as Kellyanne Conway said, maybe just didn't connect with voters whose votes she could not do without and get the number of electoral votes. Obama had his shot. Let's see how much of what he did sticks.
