Heh. There's a reason you can't
believe anything Cali says.
For those who care, here's what I said:
- The Dow is one of several imperfect
indicators of economic confidence (I didn't say "benchmark" or "standard" and I'm pretty sure no one else did either)
- Obama (not me) suggested the Dow was like a
tracking poll.
It's is great to see Nate Silver linking to hack organizations like Media Matters to make his points. Makes his motivation that much more transparent.
