Legacy Journal: Minority Report: Polls, Elections, and Climate Policy

Section:
Commentary

Summary:
* Today, we again learn from New Hampshire that political polls are poor forecasts of election results. Why? Clearly many polls are badly done, many at intended to influence the results, and many voters and consumers disconnect their thoughts, from their verbal reports, and from their actions. The easy analysis is that Granite state voters are independent and make there decisions in the secrecy of the voting booth.

It is not widely reported, but Mitt Romney corralled one third of the New Hampshire Republican vote in a five candidate field led by a maverick hero. That is not a loss. The contest moves on.

* Bjorn Lomborg , the climate change maverick from Denmark is interviewed in the Canadian press. His analysis is worth reading.

Main:
* The national presidential campaign is a marathon race. The 71 year old McCain is impressive, but youth must be put into service in the international area.

Put the pollsters and pundits on the sidelines.

* Meanwhile, Lomborg , a young and thoughtful social scientist, is not pandering to backyard gardeners when is come to policy. He is numbers and data focused.
