**** Elections thread *****

Why do you assume Ted Kennedy's case represents the entire state of MA? Why assume the entrenchment was with Democrats rather than with TFK in particular?

Because the terms "Edward Kennedy" and "Bleeding heart Liberal" are synonymous.

Either provide some data or be ignored. Up to you.

1,000+ democratic seats turned Republican since Barry got elected.

Did that all happen in the first year? I'm guessing not. Surely you can see it's not appropriate to compare eight years to one year?

I'm simply exercising my right to move the goalpost however, it suits me. If you want to go back to an analysis where you've arbitrarily enforced cherry-picked parameters like "congress only" and "just one year", then go ahead. But I thought you made it very clear you weren't doing that anymore. Were you lying? Or have you just moved the goalpost again.

If you'd like to continue, the new topic is the democrat loss of over 1000 congressional seats, senate seats, governorships, and state legislature positions in the last decade.

Discuss.

I didn't enforce 'congress only'. Provide me with the senate data as well and I'll do the math for you. What more do you want?

It makes sense to only compare the same period of time across different presidents. Sorry if you can't see the logic in that.

lol who put you in charge of choosing the topic? Either you provide me with the data for senate s.e.'s from 2016-7, 2008-9 and 2004-5 or admit you already have a pretty good idea it wouldn't change anything.

Then we can start a different topic.

Just one example moves your 5.5% average to 12.4%. Are you still saying it doesn't change anything? GTFO

Every data point changes the mean. That's why you have a mean and don't just pick one data point that is extreme and consider it representative.

So, as i keep saying, give me ALL the senate S.E. data for the years in question and let's see how it falls out.
