gallup predictions?

 

[Tim-E]

I suppose, but these kids were probably never going to go for that anyway. That ideology just doesn't fit with the millennial generation.

Young people are pretty liberal in some key ways, especially on social issues like gay marriage and also drug legalization, and they also want to stop the war machine. Alongside that, though, I feel like a lot of the young people I've met have benefitted a lot from liberal economic policies. In all respects they should be (and I suppose statistically are) liberals.

So I guess what's scary (though probably more sad than scary) to me is that they should be going one way, but seem to be completely and utterly discouraged by the situation in our country today. I can sympathize with them. They feel like neither candidate really represents them, and neither party really represents them, and for good reason. And things aren't going great for them as a whole. But then I feel like libertarianism is kind of the easy answer for the discouraged. This all sucks, so let's just throw it all out. Government sucks, let's throw it all out and elect a guy that'll do just that.

That's just what young, idealistic people do. They think that they are above the current system and are able to fight it, but as most get older they'll realize that it's best to spend your time wanting to make our current system as efficient and effective as possible instead of trying to fight the man because it really gets you nowhere.

Charlie Cook is speaking at my office on October 30. I'll take notes.

this voter suppression stuff is ridiculous, i hope everyone shows up on November 8th and shows these local governments that they won't be stopped from voting.

I hope people don't show up to vote on the November 8. They will be too late to vote for anything since the voting day is November 6.

Politics is dry, so naturally our humor typically is, as well.

[sc0la]

Just voted a straight democratic ticket for the first time in my life. I usually try to spread it around for balance. Sadly this year the right wing has no balance to offer. Just stupidity.

Fox News is basically a cesspool where bottom-feeding "pundits" can call the administration liars on television with little to no evidence to back it up. It's disgraceful.

 

[Averon]

They'd just claim the CIA manufactured the documents after the fact to keep up with the "lie". These are the same people who think Obama bullies Gallup to show more favorable poll numbers and cook the books at the BLS.

Quite honestly stuff like this should end Romney's chances outright. He should get trounced after this. If you play political games with an tragedy, distort and contort things in order to stick it to your opponent, and then end up completely and utterly fucking wrong, you should be done. No questions asked. Done.

That's a shame. Local politics is the place you have the greatest chance to make a difference, and in my experience has the greatest impact on your day to day life. Case in point: our county board bends over backwards to violate our zoning laws so developers can build huge developments, and they're attempting to ask us to fund an $80 million bond to build an aquatics center to further jack up rent prices. That's what happens when any party gets a stranglehold...

I believe in term limits for every position filled by the election process.

I just vote no on everyone seeking another term to make it simple.

Both scandals pale in comparison to Michelle Obama sneaking out to go shopping at Target. What was that Lysol for?

 

[jbug617]

PPP still has Ohio left for today right?

 

[Forever]

Playing around with the electoral map again to keep confidence levels up. I think it's probably safe to say that Nevada will go for Obama, in which case Romney would need to carry Ohio, Florida, plus two other states to win. Tall order.

I'm doing research now, but a lot of these people don't have any information online on them. At all. Both Finance Committee candidates literally just have their Facebook profile when I google their names, Town Council members have the same "Yup, this person exists. Wait, did you want actual information? lol too bad" and that makes it rather difficult.

Two positions aren't contested, and there's nobody on the School Committee ballot at all; it's just a write-in.

Funny you say that, considering that it's not much of a stretch to say that the Presidency is putting a severe strain on their marriage.

Oh lawd talking about Obama's marriage is like looking in the mirror and saying PhoenixDark three times.

Has Obama ever mentioned anything on the subject of not having a son?

Hate to see that Obama name not last.

The daughters could always combine the names, but regardless I don't think there needs to be an Obama dynasty. I'm not a fan of political dynasties.

I wouldn't want to come between Michelle Obama and her children. She seems very protective.

PPP still has Ohio left for today right?

Yes, but like any reputable organization, they said they're waiting until after the football games to post the numbers.
