#2 It's not the votes that count it he who counts the notes.

Ben Bernanke might engineer some economic moonshine in time to party, yet before the hangover starts.

#3 The only useful predictive polls are the ones which estimate the electoral vote tally. Popular vote predictions get all the publicity, though.

#4 In a related news article: Household income is down sharply since the recession ended three years ago. Incomes have dropped more since the beginning of the recovery than they did during the recession itself.

Implies that the measure they're using for "recovery" is total bunk....

Oh it's GDP, the measure of debt! So yes it is total bunk.

#7 I think a better way of measuring a depression/recession is to see how much your tax revenues are off.

Lets see... 23% off after one year of recession... 21% still under from beginning of recession 4 years later.

Yep. Still fucked.
