It was an excellent non partisan analysis of what could possibly happen. Dan Schnur did a great job and I will look forward to his analysis after the election.

Thank you for your comments, Jim. I agree - Dan was knowledgeable, articulate and non-partisan. An excellent combination all around. I too look forward to his post-election perspective.

Dan was an articulate and knowledgable expert. He answered the questions with finesse and definitely created an information packed hour.

Dan Schnur did an excellent job threading the needle of this election cycle .His vast experience with political parties and elections was evident and he was able to do it in a non-partisan manner. That makes him quite unique..

EXCELLENT ! I submitted three questions and he answered all, with a great knowledge and understanding of what I asked about. I could have listened even longer to his talk ,if there was more time.
I appreciated even more when he mentioned he was a " PACKER BACKER ", which of course made him a " perfect fit " with me, : ) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FOR ALL OF US, jim

Yet another very enjoyable talk.

Mr. Schnur's "40% Saints, 40% Sinners and 60% in between" metaphor is an excellent application of sociological bell curves so often observed in a wide variety of subjects. I am glad he pointed out it is a metaphor with no moral equivalency intended.

Having spent most of my adult life in sales, I am most familiar with the 10/10/80 split which says "10% of the people you meet will instantly dislike you (your demons), 10% of the people you meet will instantly like you (your angels.) The remaining 80% will tend to lean one way or the other." Sometimes this is expressed as the 20/20/60 rule. The numbers may change but the idea is the same.

Mr. Schnur's presentation and commentary during the Q&A session were indeed non-partisan and apolitical. This made for a refreshing outlook on the forthcoming election, with a better understanding of the Blue/Red strategies to gain an edge from certain categories of voters -- quite different from what we are viewing and hearing from the majority of media commentators.

We look forward to the post-election session, realizing that finalization of the voting results may well be incomplete or in dispute (with various court rulings) at that time.

An excellent presentation by Dan Schur. Thoughtfully presented by being fair and balanced in his analysis and ability to articulate it.This is especially true given the complexity and uncertainty of possible directions and outcomes.
