Reading David Rothkopf, it occurred to me: this is the 50th anniversary of the last time an anti-U.S. foreign regime so desperately wished for a particular U.S. election outcome to help it win a war—North Vietnam hoping for a McGovern victory in 1972. thedailybeast.com/putins-last-ho…
A useful and inspiring essay from THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas. And if you like it, there’s more of the same in his essential new book The Persuaders. Highly recommended. nytimes.com/2022/10/17/opi…
Why are Gen-Xers, uniquely among the age groups, so strongly Republican and weakly Democratic? BTW, this new The New York Times poll is not unique in showing this.
Wow. Nobody’s paid attention to Iowa’s Senate race, because Grassley has consistently polled 7-9 points ahead. The Des Moines Register poll had him 8 points up in July—but now at just 46%-43%. Among independents the Dem Admiral Mike Franken shot from 38%-37% to 46%-35%.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
