Quote of the Day

Michael Barone, one of the savviest political analysts, writes for the Washington Examiner. See his wisdom vis-a-vis the probable outcome of the 2012 vote:

In the last three presidential elections, the winning candidate has won a percentage of the popular vote identical to or within 1% of the percentage of the popular vote for the House of Representatives in the election held two years before. In this case, the November 2010 results are very different from 2008. In 2008 Obama won 53% of the popular vote. In 2010 House Democrats won 45% of the popular vote.
