To all the poli scientists and stat-heads who say pres debates dont matter: maybe, maybe not. We're talking about a sample size of 10-12.

@monkeycageblog Okay, let's count debates. Talking about a sample size of 30-35. Still not much.

@noamscheiber @monkeycageblog look, Noam's point is sound -- there is a possibility -- albeit a slim one -- that a debate will matter.

@dandrezner @noamscheiber That's all the "stat-heads" are claiming! My piece acknowledges role in 1960 & 2000. Enough with the straw men.

@noamscheiber @dandrezner Since we're talking about current regimes: race not as close as in 1960 or 2000. That matters here.

@monkeycageblog and you can't count VP debates because you guys don't think VP candidates matter much one way or the other!
