The Art of the Con 0
Mostly I’ve avoided news articles claiming to know why the election turned out the way it did. Too many of them smell of “I’ve got a deadline and have to write something.”
I think that this one, though, is onto something.
Aside:
What I’m waiting for is an analysis of what went wrong with the polling, not that I paid much attention to it. I hoped it was correct, but I had a bad feeling about this election for months. To echo what Chauncey Devega said, I thought that racism, America’s original sin and lasting stain, would play a much larger role than many expected.
I think it’s far to early for reasonable analysis of the polling failure, but it does seem as if the “Likely Voters” classification was way off
