The Uber driver, learning my occupation, wants to know. So, too, newsroom colleagues who cover beats other than politics. So, too, family members, who not unreasonably imagine that I must have gained some insight by leaving them to travel here.

Evidence continues to mount exposing the fallacy that political journalism has high predictive value. CONT.
