Reply #32: then add value about what you saw with your own eyes

If you are the world expert on Bexley, then build on that. You don't have to waste everyone's time by making other people's points badly when you could make your own points well.

You just whiffed on every single point in my post, which addressed the points in your previous post one by one. If you don't like the way it turned out, think about cause and effect.

Obviously it isn't true that economics is the "single factor that has been shown to influence voting behavior," but certainly it's an important one. Awsi Dooger has made the point pretty elegantly that Ohio's economy stank in 2004, and that that probably helps to explain why Kerry did better than Gore there, whereas (for instance) in New York Kerry's margin was almost 7 points smaller than Gore's had been.
