I'm sorry, but for the past week every liberal pundit in America has been wringing hands and freaking out about Mitt Romney gaining in the polls at Barack Obama's expense. This is vintage Democratic panicking, just as we remember from the first half of the last decade. It's unseemly and does no one any good, except Republicans.
It's totally unnecessary, says I (creating the world with my mind) and here's why. I live in Taiwan. Taiwan's been a participatory democracy since 1996, and its elections are held in the same years as American Presidential elections.
In years when the KMT wins in Taiwan, the Democrats win in the USA. (1996, 2008)
In years when the DPP wins in Taiwan, the Republicans win in the USA. (2000, 2004)
KMT president Ma Ying-jeou won this year. Therefore, Barack Obama will win the American election.
My mind is made up. Please do not attempt to change it with your primitive superstition known as 'statistics' and magical mantras like 'ridiculously small sample size' and 'no causal relationship whatsoever'.
