Folks, remember, the Presidency doesn’t matter much – but I do think there is some writing on the wall from what we see from the messages that have resonated with voters …

… we are a country of economic illiterates (and statistical ones too – ahem, polling and uncertainty bands anyone?). If there was ever a repudiation of our profession and how good a job I have done, this year is it.

Are we doomed?

Who knows.

But I think the folks who understand that there is a tension between dynamism and conservatism have it right.
