About Campaigns Don't Count
This blog is operated by Martin Gottlieb, whose day job is with the editorial page of the Dayton Daily News. The main idea here is that the media and the media manipulators are not important players in American elections, and that this is demonstrated by the fact that presidential election outcomes can be predicted before the campaigns even start. Gottlieb is the author of "Campaigns Don't Count: How the Media Get American Politics All Wrong." (See www.campaignsdontcount.com.) That book proceeds from the work of Allan J. Lichtman, author of "The 13 Keys to the Presidency." Perhaps the best introduction to the blog is in the first posts, dated Oct. 5, 2007.

To anybody who’s focused on the Lichtman “keys,” all this talk about a bipartisan stimulus package to avoid a recession is interesting.
After all, the keys say that a recession during an election year would be a good thing for the Democrats.
I’m not saying that, therefore, the Democrats should want a recession. I’m just saying.
