When we wound up our election day discussion, I suggested to Patrick Basham that we do a follow up "if warranted". It was warranted in multiples, so around midnight on election night we recorded the interview for 264. There is insight that you won’t hear elsewhere. Have a listen.
And following we have included comment from elsewhere that is worthy of a hearing.
Oh, and at the last second we received an email headed “Most accurate US presidential election pollster” !
