I'm using a widget that applies this data and through its interactivity is capable of displaying data from various angles. The widget shows the election polls by strength of states.

But when time comes to eat your leader, would not the McBiden provide more meat on bones? And I observe Obarck is already preroasted. Truly you Tellurians are a primitive species, sorely in need of ruthless yet exploitive stewardship by Boskone. However there is some we can learn from your nubile and juicy primitive civilization as well. Like how to get the eyeballs for Boskone Inner Council Survivor that Presidential Idol enjoys on your miserable planet. But Boskone is merciful too. Once we have the programming secret, all the Endemol showrunners go straight to the Pain Amplifier. Which is wired for netcast, natch.

Tax cuts are supposed to work by ' growing-the-pie'. And after a few years they generally do. ( As per Reagan and Bush 2 ) So what actually happens is the rate of increase in the state sector rises under both republicans and democrats; it just rises slightly slower under the right-wing and there's barely enough in it to differentiate both political 'brands'. Unless you really WANT to spin, potificate, pose, posture and carry-on like a two-bob watch...after all....that's where the fun is. Its hardly incoherent to win state and federal elections for fifty years on a 'smaller government' platform, is it Kim. ‘…incoherent as big tax cuts and being a deficit hawk is….’
