Election Day: Dennis Redmont on “Radio Vaticana”
Tuesday, November 6th, 2012 | Radio & TV | Comments Off on Election Day: Dennis Redmont on “Radio Vaticana”
Dennis Redmont was interviewed by Radio Vaticana about the US Presidential Election, the high technological standard of the campaign and the conflicted political landscape in America.
Regarding the first theme, Redmont was struck by the high technical level of observation performed by the average American voter:
The level of specificity deployed by the media to understand the voter’s behavior and mindset is so advanced that it is possible to know, for instance, which car brand an average Republican voter prefers, as electoral and commercial data intertwine and can be drawn on their profile. Hence, this kind of targeting enables for a wider and deeper understanding of voters’ behavior.
Secondly, Redmont believes the U.S. will remain politically divided regardless of the election result:
The U.S. will remain split no matter who wins the elections, as the opposition party would block any sort of legislative decision. For example, if the front-runner, Obama, would win, the Congress and probably also the Senate would nevertheless have a Republican majority. Therefore, the first couple of months, even before the end Obama’s official term – which occurs next January – will prove if the U.S. can deal with such crises like the deficit. It’s a big question mark, also because the loser will have to face a showdown and either the conservative or the democratic faction will be forced to find a compromise… I’m not at all optimistic!
Redmont’s Prediction For US Elections
Monday, November 5th, 2012 | Articles | Comments Off on Redmont’s Prediction For US Elections
In a brief interview with Filippo Sensi, deputy editor of the newspaper Europa, Dennis Redmont talks about the upcoming US presidential election and its possible outcome.
Since the elections will be very tight, republicans and democrats have recruited thousands of lawyers to monitor and eventually question some small-margin results (the republicans even 8 thousand). The most important battles are the referendums regarding the states who would legalize marijuana (Colorado and Washington), gay marriage (Maryland) and the “proposition 37” in California (companies have spent over 40 million dollars) in favor or against OMG. But at the end Obama will win, as he rightly managed the Sandy tragedy and has recovered from a horrible performance in the first debate which will remain a classic of political rhetoric.
