The election homestretch
Mark Sappenfield
My sister used to be in politics, and she said elections were all about building a narrative that would crescendo in the final days before the vote. In some ways, that same calendar applies to the Monitor, too.聽
In the homestretch before the United States presidential election, you鈥檒l see us focusing on many stories that set the scene for next Tuesday 鈥� less as prognostications, more as highlighting trends and setting expectations. The hope is to help keep you focused on what鈥檚 going on beneath the noise.
