The way protestors are being treated in Charlotte is embarrassing. Herded up like cattle and surrounded by bicycles? Fucking really?

according to wikipedia, last guy to lose his resident state but win was Nixon in 68.

A little bit, since the difference there would likely only be 3 or 4 percent.
Don't see anything wrong with this

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
It's tough to say because voters in blue states may be more likely to vote, same for red states.. but other then Texas...
Yeah .... I really think this is what they've been betting on all a long. For all their talk of "Obama can't run on his record", they can't run against his record either. At least not his real record. That's why almost all their attacks have been based on lies and distortions. They literally have nothing solid to point too except the unemployment rate as evidence that Obama has "failed". Most people blame the economic woes on Bush and congress, not Obama. They needed a real catastrophe, like the eurozone collapsing or a war with Iran, to point too and say "look what happened under this guy's watch".

Now the police are saying that what they're doing is illegal. They were forced to protest in front of the Nascar Hall of Fame, if that wasn't stupid enough.
I love the audacity of hoping that voters will forget the last sixty years and remember the previous hundred instead. Maybe they should start talking about the rich progressive tradition of Teddy Roosevelt (before he ditched them for the Bull Moose).

I do love the Republican doublethink of "OBUMMER IS DOING EVERYTHING TO DESTROY AMERICA!" and "Nobama can't run on his record because he's done absolutely nothing!".

I know this isn't an issue of "they do it, too!!" but what happened to protestors at the RNC?
I totally forgot that his campaign fired their debate coach for doing too well. Another brilliant campaign decision that inspires confidence in his ability to be President.
Unless others have organized and reserved the zone for themselves beforehand...
Plus I'm sure it's a security issue as well when the president is concerned.

Does it? Does it really?
Probably not that it's something special, but i chuckle a bit at the thought of Dem losing NC and GOP losing FL, considering why both choose to hold the convention at those places.

Don't know to be honest, I'm just against the caging up of protestors in general. They can put them to a spot where nobody will pay attention and claim it's so they don't get in the way of normal operating hours. But protesting is supposed to be about disruption otherwise nobody would notice.
Tea Partiers are bat shit insane and completely ignorant but if people on the left should be allowed to protest then so should those on the right (although the ones on the left have historically been treated much much worse since their beefs are legitimate). I'm not against fighting fire with fire though I just haven't read anything about RNC protests so I don't know how they were treated.

Not to mention that all of the protestors are not Tea Party members. There's a lot of Green Party support and other groups are represented as well.

Yup, then he tried to privatize social security and was slapped down by voters and congress.
Obama is still acting like republicans will come to the table after another drubbing. Not gonna happen. The playbook will be "obstruct until 2014." As long as the house is dominated by tea party types you can kiss the Jobs Act goodbye
This isn't related to any larger issue really, but I love how the headline is basically foaming at the mouth:
Boston Herald: Federal judge orders taxpayer-funded sex change for wife killer.
They managed to cram every possible trigger in there :jnc

I'd imagine this will be a 15 page thread on GAF with plenty of people defending this bullshit
Obama has more individual donors than 2008 campaign
Not sure if he'll beat RMoney in August, but I bet he has a big month.

I honestly can't tell if you refer to the procedure or the reporting as bullshit.
Anecdotal, but I donated way more money in August than in any month prior.

I was waiting for some kind of punchline like it was a comedy skit.
Well, I guess there WAS a punchline, just not the one I expected.

Who is this ad even targeted towards? Is the Romney campaign even doing any research on the voter demographics out there? Not a single vote (statistically) will be swayed by this ad.

I'd say the reporting is obviously meant to inflame, and I also disagree with the judge

Does anyone have that app for the iPad called "The Daily" from News Corp? Their content always seemed pretty good, not crazy right wing fox news styles shit but starting yesterday they've been sending some strongly anti-Obama push notifications..

I think it's pretty telling considering Obama's stance on gay marriage never came up during the RNC last week (that I'm aware of). It's only a matter of time before this isn't even an issue.
How do you pronounce Kremer? Cuz I'll just sit here giggling like I've just hit puberty about Nutter debating Creamer.
I'm sorry
Their delivery is only one step away from a Tim and Eric sketch.
It's from a SuperPAC, not Romney's campaign.
