Here dieth the republic

Why so ?  Take a look; a guy who says he's got a formula that hasn't failed in the past 30 years is saying that his formula predicts an Obama win in 2012.  No, that's not the thing that dooms our republic in itself, but rather the reason why; the formulator is arguing that it's not the candidate's positions or perceived ethics, but rather his style.

Given that our republic desperately needs thinkers to revive it, it would follow that due to an electorate that apparently cannot get past the election for high school class president, our republic is doomed.

I hope I'm wrong, but these are the data.
