Can't wait to listen to this! I've been listening to EconTalk forever and have gone back and listened to them all since 2006.

A beautiful life, one to which we should all aspire. Thank you for sharing such a touching moment. I am deeply happy to have heard that he passed well, among family, hopeful, and true to the life he led. May God bless him, and may He be with you and your family in the days and months to come as you mourn the loss of a great man and celebrate his life also.

Gabriel Sullice:  Finally, I made it to the table to pick up my ballot and was told I had to leave, change my shirt, a Ryan 2012 tee, and return. According to the election judge, I was breaking state law; possibly national law as well. Evidently, this is considered electioneering. I've actually been meaning to ask the Ricochetti about their opinion on that. I feel like it's a violation of the 1st Amendment. · 1 hour ago

I agree with you. And if that's electioneering, what is this?

Predictable, and deeply disturbing.

0800 - Golden, CO. Took about 25 minutes in line, although there were only 7 in front of me in line.

Yep :) It was an incredible rally as I'm sure you've heard. I think I'll be posting all my pictures and videos tonight. Maybe it will cheer up the last minute jitters we'll all be having.

Terry: Assuming you believe that the Dems will retain the Senate and the Republicans will hold the House, the best way to play a Romney win on Intrade right now is the market for Rep Pres/ Dem Senate/ Repub House as it's trading at 13.8%

Dem President/ Dem Senate/ Repub House is trading at 63.5%, quite similar to the Obama futures price. Just in case anyone was thinking of putting money on Romney, the more lucrative play is R/D/R.

All other permutations are also available of course so you could buy Rep. Pres/ Rep Senate/ Rep. House at 17.5%. · November 3, 2012 at 5:35pm

Not sure of the math, but couldn't one spread their money between R/D/R and R/R/R to come out profitably in either case, assuming a Romney win? This seems the more profitable route to me.

If one predicts a Romney win, buy 32 shares in RDR, and 33 in RRR, spending ~$100.60. Your expected winnings would then be between $219.40 and $229.40 - more than a two to one gain and roughly 10% more profitable than betting solely on a Romney win.

Gabriel Sullice: I'm not sure how useful that conclusion is. It is very likely that if Mitt Romney lost Ohio, he very well might not win the other states necessary to put him over the top, i.e., the same fervor not felt in Ohio in that scenario would cause him to lose PA, IA, &c. · 3 minutes ago

I don't disagree with what you're saying. I am just betting that Romney's victory tomorrow night won't turn on Ohio alone. · 1 minute ago

God willing! I agree wholeheartedly then.

Not sure, I just saw it freshly up on my Facebook feed for the first time before posting it here. I hope it will be, it's 2.5 minutes though, so it would be an entire television commercial break, my guess is that they'll edit it down for TV and keep this one rolling online.

M. T. S.: It is breathtaking to see actual journalism - but it shouldn't be this rare. This is exactly what people are hoping to see when they complain about the problems with the media today. · 5 hours ago

Yes, and we should all encourage it! Write him, flood his inbox with positive emails, he deserves it. His email can be had by simply clicking his name beneath the video on the left. Here's my template.

Dear Mr. Clark,
Thank you. I was absolutely delighted and enthralled to see your interview with President Obama. I am so proud to live in a state that can support and appreciate the hard questions you asked and am, again, so grateful to have seen a ray of light in a news media environment desperately in need of more questions like your own. I'm sharing your interview as widely as I can so that your laudable efforts are seen as widely as can be. Thank you again.
Kindly,

How did you come to the decision that ordering the assassination, without substantive due process, of a presumed American citizen was morally justified? Second, how do you, Mr. President, reconcile that position with your initial support of holding civilian trials for terrorists in New York City? And finally, do you find yourself conflicted between either of those two positions and your decision to maintain military tribunals today the still open Guantanamo Bay prison facility?

Edit: My positions are not related to the questions, but I would like to ask them for two reasons" to bring them to Americans' attention and to possibly expose the President's hypocrisy.

I know that the Senate was created in part as a representative of states' rights. That implies though, that the Senate would guard states' rights (powers) from being ceded to the Federal government. · 7 hours ago

But the 17th amendment took the states' power away. They no longer control the senate. It is now a popular contest state-wide. So states cannot speak to their representatives as they have none. · 10 hours ago

Fair point. Of course, then, that that strengthens my electoral cycle argument, as it's an advantage even more important to the Senate now. I'll concede that you've weakened my point though. Still, it was part of the amendment process and so now remains our constitutional heritage.

Proud to have had His Excellency as my Archbishop while I was in high school.
