Abstract

"Politics + Other Mistakes" piece questioning findings by Rep Richard Sykes, R-Harrison, claiming an exodus of people leaving the state who are over the age of 50. While it is true that 24,000 in that age group have left the state in the past few years, a significant portion of the 4,000 to 8,000 annual in-migrants are also over 50 years old. With additional comments on Republican First District congressional candidate Charlie Summers' Web site, noting that instead of containing issue statements from Summers himself, the site had verbatim opinions from the Web sites of Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney. Summers' staff said the substitute positions were accidentally posted on the Web after being used in the design phase.
