Obamney

Today we talked about the median voter theorem (MVT).  A key implication of the MVT is that, under certain circumstances, two  candidates will begin to look eerily alike.  Oh peaches!! I just came across this video that shows how Romney and Obama may have already morphed into one candidate!


Notice how they both stick to similar topics when they are apart.

Old Gus is curious to see if the upcoming debates will clarify any distinctions between the two candidates.  Downs might suggest that they will use the debates to try to magnify policy stances of their opponent that are far from the median.
