362 [lbo-talk] Left Deals Chirac a "Catastrophic" Defeat in Regional Elections -- rank: 243

Following the Spaniards, the French voters have given a sweeping victory to the Left parties--large majorities in 20 out of 21 regional councils in the hexagon (ultra-Catholic Alsace, as always, stayed with the Right). Of importance was the working unity of all the Left parties--except for the LO ...

370 [lbo-talk] GDP per capita/Dougs comments -- rank: 243

Exchange-rate based comparisons are totally meaningless, as anyone can tell by simply considering the change in US per capita magnitudes, expressed in euros, between November 2000 and May 2004. PPP comparisons are conceptually *identical* to single-economy real-terms comparisons over time, including the discrepancy between magnitudes deflated by "Paasche ...

371 [lbo-talk] An Analysis of the Post-Convention Zogby Poll -- rank: 243

Michael Perelman asks: "I also have trouble figuring out the widely different polling results. First of all, most people's preferences are reportedly set in stone. Are the swing voters so volitile? Are the pollsters asking different questions? Or should we just ignore the horse race?..." All the polls share a ...
