Reply #96: Fitrakis is not the weight of expert opinion

[OnTheOtherHand]

A hint is that his books are self-published. Of course that doesn't mean they are wrong -- and a lot in them is right, although he seems to be convinced that Kerry won, and he sure hasn't convinced me and many others of that.

I know you've cast your lot with Fitrakis and that isn't likely to change. Actually directing you (again) to Mebane and Herron's precinct-by-precinct analyses probably won't do much good. (Since when is the Conyers report 900+ pages? Whatever.)

It's one thing to make up excuses why political scientists are wrong. It's another thing to pretend they don't exist, which was pretty much the MO of the OP.

ETA: Do you think that Dean's criminal history is evidence that Kerry won Ohio? If so, why? If not, then what is your beef, exactly?
