Glenn Beck started this crap (or al gore with his oscar winning power point?). I think the GOP uses it for all the old people because it gives them an semblance of non partisan political intelligence. "See were like teachers, not politicians, its just the facts, vote for us, we'll save you from these evil zeros that your kids are gonna have to go into slavery to pay back!"
I think what Chris Rock said is true--it's hard to make fun of Obama because he's too cool and likeable. I mean, the motherfucker brought the house down at the Apollo with "Let's Stay Together" with Al Green in the audience. That trumps Clinton's sax on Arsenio easily.
He compared it to trying to make a joke about Brad Pitt--"Look at you, with your gorgeous-ass wife, beautiful adopted children, and making tens of millions of dollars being in movies and re-building parts of New Orleans!"
Except they demonize the only actual teacher in the race.

Or It's because he's incrediblily stale and boring? Gore entertained when he tried to act normal. Obama constantly seems like he's measuring every word because if he says "the" too much he might lose 13 votes, according to some crazy focus group he commissioned
For all his charisma he strikes me as a socks with sandals guy
Had to write down all those details about his medicare plan to honestly inform the voters of HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. He wrote two words to describe his plan.
Current Seniors : Nothing
Next Generation: Solvent.
WHAT A PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Current Seniors: Seniors pls. I need your vote!
Next Generation: You can get fucked and die early for all I care

Romney also said hes never paid less than 13% in taxes
I'll take boring and likable (Obama) over boring and creepy (Mittens).
Yes!! Whiteboards are the best! I have an entire office painted in whiteboard paint. It's heaven.
F' off, Gary. I'm voting R-squared!
When did he say this?
Not that I believe him since he's already lied about what's in his tax returns...
if he's not going to release them he can say what he wants, but i dont think anyone believes him at this point. There is no way that a guy who makes all his money in capital gains paid more in taxes after the market crash then he did two years ago
Also... why? WHY?!? You shifted away from the daily rhetoric on your tax returns with Ryan, and you willingly bring it back up?
... Because he's a terrible politician?
I would not classify a tithe as a charitable contribution, either.
Ain't no kama'aina ever wore socks with slippers.
Seriously, though, I went to the same high school as Obama (albeit 20 years or so later), and Punahou is pretty explicitly designed to teach people of color, in an environment where they are the majority, to thrive and hold positions of power in a country where they aren't. The lessons are: always take the high ground; always have something in reserve; always know what's expected; always say less than you mean; always have someone else to blame. (I was a lousy student.) So I don't think he's really a staid guy -- staid guys don't get away with fucking up the rotation -- but I understand why he seems that way. I remember being a little uncomfortable way back in the Denocratic primaries because of how much he reminded me of the people I went to school with.

Great line from biden. The outrage, or whatever it is, is funny. Man I wish he could be president after obama and then hilldawg but that's not happening.
This messaging on medicare is really wacky
Against Ryan's plan
For Ryan's plan
Romney and Ryan's plan are different
Romney and Ryan's plan are very similar
Romney and Ryan's plan are very different
Romney and Ryan's plan are the same, if not identical

Expected. He's still riding off VP nomination bump. Give it another week or two.
we talked about this yesterday i thought... and only 2 polling firms showed a bump... purple strategies and Rasmussen... yawn
That, and Purple Strategies is Republican-leaning according to Silver.

Also, they have Obama leading in Colorado still. I doubt Obama loses there. In addition, the Romney camp seems to be wanting to hand Iowa to Obama through his opposition of wind tax credits. If Obama wins Colorado, Nevada, and Iowa Romney could win Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia and still lose.
its what you think is reality. If i'm not mistaken Gallup daily tracking, rassmussen and purple strategies are using 2010 turnout numbers to base their 2012 results on.
For me it seems a little ... misguided to use mid term numbers to base your presidential election results on

That seems outright dumb. Turnout is always higher in presidential elections, using a midterm, where turnout is lower, makes no sense and will likely skew things towards an older age group.
I didn't know that. I don't think turnout will be as high as 2008, but it will almost definitely be higher than a midterm.
It will also skew more to the left and middle then a midterm. The GOP has some fantasy they will relive 2010 but its not happening because the demo is completely different

Ryan is being helped by the Biden comments. Media at least is spending a lot of time talking about Biden than about Ryan.
Likely voter models are 1. almost always skewed GOP and 2. almost always wrong when being ascribed to Barack Obama.
Dude's got a history of getting people out to vote. His ground game in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio has basically never stopped from 2008. He's already got a strong ground game back in place in VA, NC, and FA. He's going to make a lot of pollsters look real dumb in November.
It won't hurt Obama in any way. It's something stupid that everyone will forget about next week. You really are the next diablos
Come on son, people are just going "Biden gonna Biden". Even my Fox News watching dad doesn't give a shit. Cable news is cable news, the nightly news casts have been going over Ryan's record for the last few days.
Ras will change his methodology in October so that he won't look like a fool. Its what he does every tiime. Pushes narrative until it gets close to election time and goes to normal
Yeah I lol'd last year (or a few years back, can't remember which cycle it was) when Nate basically thrashed him in a opinion piece about how he has shitty polls that skew to the right on purpose and only changes them when its obvious he is doing it
it depends, if his grass roots can keep steady from 2008 its still an instant win.
