Can anybody reconstruct this argument?
What a freaking mess.
One thing I'll give the conservatives: they are always absolutely positive that they are right and that liberals are stupid, no matter how weak their evidence and reasoning. It must be comforting.
Liberals, even buoyed by encouraging analysis by all the major models, are still sweating out the election. Conservatives, behind by almost every account, including even RCP's, never seem to doubt that they will win, and in a landslide no less.
These reactions, it seems to me, are typical of the psychological and epistemic orientations of the two ends of the American political spectrum.
