Yeah. One mystery is why generic Dems always outperform generic Repugs, 
by big margins, only to go on to lose or barely win. Likewise, Dems 
usually have huge (double-digit) advantages on practically every single 
domestic issue and many or most foreign policy issues, but then, again, 
go on to lose or barely win. Has anyone looked into that?
