What you can glean from these events, in fact the only data, is what the two candidates are actually saying, and I wish that reporters would stick to that.
Out of all the horrible media elements to be found in New Hampshire easily one of the worst is this sickening arrogance among American “journalists” that they are the arbiters of success, they are in control of who wins. Voters? Har, what the hell is this, a Democracy? 
Why does Obama want to sound like a wrong-headed Republican? ...The takeoff, both in productivity and in optimism, came only around 1995. I’m not giving Clinton credit for that takeoff; the truth is that we don’t know why it happened. But it definitely didn’t happen on Reagan’s watch.
I understand why conservatives want to backdate the good things that happened in the 90s, and pretend they happened in the Reagan years. But why is Obama playing along?
If he [Obama] wants to change the trajectory as Reagan did then he should take a page from his political strategy instead of his rhetoric, stop praising him and bury conservatism instead. 
Kos bamboozled ... Markos unfortunately confused message discipline with ideas. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The Democrats have been the party of ideas, the Republicans have been the party of propaganda. That has not changed much in a long long time.
