I think it's safe to say low turnout among Heineken and Corona drinkers can be read as "minorities". That said I would be that "any microbrew" or "sierra nevada" democratic dude-bro.

Heineken is probably the grossest beer on earth. Disgusting.

 

[Tim-E]

Should I make a thread on this?

Sam Adams is shocking.

Sam Adams being a republican-loved beer breaks my heart. At least we have Stella Artois.

Its funny because its true

I support an all-of-the-above beer energy plan.

You're the one who sounds tired, off his game and boring, PD.

You know the boy who cried wolf?

If you keep crying that Romney is coming back no one will take you seriously even if he does.

PD is a slow-drip account suicide that's never going to be put out of our misery. He pissed away any reputation as a worthwhile poster for Mitt Freakin' Romney. Every so often he makes a post that seems to reflect his real feelings, and it gets "not sure if serious" replies.

True, but people bomb pre-written jokes all the time: every awards show that has ever happened, for example. Plus, debates are not so easily predicted in term of when to lob your prepared statements, there is still some quick thinking that goes into laying out these zingers at the right time.

Mitt's going to have a quiver full of zingers, but I guarantee he fails to pull some of them at the most opportune moment. He may even repeat them.

it's a shame that we lost Mandark, APF and some others; it'll be a shame when others are gone after this. this final month-long stretch to the finish is going to be entertaining.

You know who I miss? Stoney Mason.

I liked Manos for the most part, but he never should have ignored the warnings the mods were giving him. If he'd only addressed Pete's rebuttals directly, he'd have survived.

[codhand]

Mitt's main debate problem is that he doesn't realize when he sounds full of shit, like when Kennedy asked him for hard numbers, or when he asked Perry to take a $10,000 bet, or when he asked Anderson Cooper for help. He is so deep in the rich's man's bubble. It's been said many times but the 47% tape was so powerful because it reinforced everyone's worst opinions of Mitt.

when are the debates?
I might wanna tune in to those if they are at a serviceable time for us europeans

I usually drink Rolling Rock, so I'm definitely not in the same spot as that.

Perhaps I shall try this Sierra Nevada and see what my fellow high turnout dems are drinking.

First one is 2/3 am on wednesday for us =( It's late, but I'm staying up. Have to see it live and in full. None of the national channels here are airing it live. Neither are the BBC and CNN international it seems. That's messed up.

Also, there seem to be a lot of light drinks on the republican side. What does light mean in this case though?

I love this chart. I love that people who drink light beer are always more likely to vote than people who drink the equivalent non-light, presumably ecause it's less filling. Miller's success at market segmentation is also impressive. It's also probably telling that I thought Sierra Nevada was much more popular than I apparently is.

 

[Tamanon]

I don't see Modelo or Presidente, so they must assume I'm not able to vote.

did anyone else do field work for obama in 2008 or 2010? just got an email from the OFA director in Colorado asking me if i would come back up there. sorry man, i stopped the obama stuff last December. gotta finish school!

this is a humorous story...

&#8220;If he doesn&#8217;t bring it, I&#8217;m going to be looking for a job,&#8221; said one state-based Romney aide.

Even Samuel Adams' market share is below 1% IIRC.

Obviously it's a huge market, but even brewers like Left Hand don't make gazillions in revenue.

 

[NullPointer]

Sierra Nevada is my baseline, or a nice local IPA. Guess that has pegged my political inclinations.

from CNN:

U.S. manufacturing expands in September for the first time in 4 months, according to survey of purchasing managers.

Damn, Nate now has Obama at 85% to win from 83%. First round of Cider's on me.

If you ever wanna know how to handle haters, just look at Obama. I know that famous people like to talk about haters, but goddamn.

from CNN:

Edit: that popped the Down 100 points in a few minutes, wow. It was nearly two points above expectations.

Edit2: construction spending dropped .6%, though, when it was thought to have expanded.

The ncredible volatility of the market is the sleeper story this year. Nobody who took their money out is actually doing anything with it -- you can tell from the huge pops that people are just waiting for an economic boost they can trust to start reinvesting. Unfortunately, that very nervousness is the problem.

Edit: I wih I could tell whether question 35 is racism or just that Romney is a straitlaced Mormon.

Would they get into hilarious arguments about freeing the baby from the shackles of the babysitter? And how the babysitter can't create fun?

 

[HylianTom]

Indeed they will!

I'll wash them down with some Abita Amber (mmmmm..), and then I'll capture some in a vial for my voodoo ceremonies prior to Election 2014!

 

[Mario]

More likely they'll argue whether the baby should get handouts like food and housing because it doesn't pay taxes.

Maybe Romney will turn to acting in family films once he loses.

[RoninChaos]

I read more site comments on news stories.

I realize poligaf is a pretty left leaning thread, and everybody in here is like "Barry's got it in the bag" but then I see comment after comment that are just vile and stupid and full of lies and I think "You know, he still might lose" And I can't think of ANY reason for this vitriol. I just can't.

I went out to breakfast with my family on sunday and the place we were at had fox news on. I haven't watched fox news in years besides snipets here and there of various programs. I think my jaw was on the floor the entire time because I was so taken aback but the pure bullshit that they were saying and reinforcing over and over and over. And that bullshit is the same stuff that these clowns believe. The same ones that are posting their vile bullshit are getting it from places like fox.

Then I read that shit that people like Ryan say "Media bias" saying that shit on the biggest biased network I can think of. AND PEOPLE BELIEVE ALL OF THIS SHIT.

I don't think I want to live on this planet any more.

i think the assumption is that Romney would most likely bring a nanny because damned if he will change diapers, so you get some professional care along with a mormon to watch your house.

This guy's Presidential aspirations are done for after this election.

i really want to know what happened in the VP meetings. Like, did the establishment republicans know they were going to lose and saw a way to completely ruin the Ryan train (they knew nothing good was going to happen with him after opponents ran on his budget and won seats that haven't been D in decades)

It was a pretty smart move if that was the case. If the republicans ever want to expand their voting base, they need to ensure that his poison budget is destroyed in front of everyone.

TWELFTH DIMENSIONAL CHESS

 

[PhoenixDark]

I'm kind of wondering whether the "Ryan is muzzled by the Romney camp" stories are coming from conservatives to protect his national ambitions. Even if that is true and Ryan isn't truly being himself, I don't even see a hint of a good politician there. He's not energetic on the stump, he seems a tad awkward, and has been exposed to more analysis from the media - who before apparently endorsed all his plans without running numbers. I just can't see him being the messiah republicans pretend he is

And even if he runs in four years will that magically make powerpoints and chalk boards popular on the stump? Of course not. And his Medicare plan will still be toxic

Used to study in Texas, tell me about it. Back then, the only dedicated new channels in my country was CNN International and UK's BBC on cable. Upon arriving in US, after a while I knew something weird is going on with US news reporting. Turn out, it's just Fox News being shown everywhere there. My first exposure to media within the US were news anchors be praising W Bush and the wars 24/7 and Bill O'Reilly.

The reporting I read suggested that it was mostly Romney's decision, against the advice of many of his people.
