What the Numbers Aren't Telling in the Presidential Race

Wherever I have been in the world, the last few months, nearly everyone has asked me about the upcoming elections in the United States. And, I had the interesting experience, for an American, of watching both the Republican and Democratic nominating conventions from Europe and reaped the benefit of hearing morning-after commentary from people who related to both events in a far different way than I did.

KNEE-JERK ALERT…this is not a political commentary, although, no doubt, there will be a number of comments made as if it were. And although I do follow elections all over the world, I realize that many don’t and find anything beyond their own borders to be irrelevant…so again, this has nothing to do with politics…at all.

The race I am referring to is the Digibabble competition to see who can make the biggest claims regarding this election – or any, for that matter – that suggest that the winner will win/won because of digital technology.
