I <3 Oregon's vote by mail system. Very simple, reliable, no stress.

Yup, same with Washington's! It makes it so much easier to research all the downballot elections.

I just hope they won't throw a hissyfit because I'm voting from NY instead of France this time (had my parents forward me the ballot). But I checked on the website, as long as I'm not registered in NY I can still vote in WA, so I should be good.

Why is Time even doing a workout photoshoot with Paul Ryan? I guess it's like that embarrassing shoot with Palin draped in American flags. They're actively creating stupid distractions.

Damn, glad someone else seent dat.

Slightly truncated.

It's what they do.

 

[Half and half]

Prediction: Biden is going to hammer Ryan with the 47% haymaker tonight. Romney won't be there to deliver his phoney apology. And it would sound odd for Ryan to defend it.

 

[speculawyer]

My polling place is at a Methodist church between my house and my school so I'll vote on election day. Plus it's entertaining dealing with the LaRouche folks outside the building

Larouche still has followers? Isn't he some conspiracy nut that is so crazy that you can't even pin him down as being left or right but is more right? He's like Alex Jones before there was an internet.

The crazy never goes away. The "Isn't he an Ay-rab" lady and the death panel people never went away.

I read this today in some comments:

It is Obama who will not get the senior vote because his health bill is based on Acctuarial Tables that the 15 member un-elected panel will decide if you have enough life left to make it worth investing in you or someone younger. That is why they are called the death panel. Then, Obama is making all of us pay for 30 million who pay nothing. But guess what, because he added 30 million new patients, those of us paying get our care rationed. Welcome to Obamacare and the reason Seniors will NOT vote for Obama.

Uh wat?

They're always on campus and at polling stations here; he must have a (relatively) large group of followers in the state, and they're often bussed from state to state. I've been seeing the same handful of them for years, to the point I know their names

Or what if it's Obama all over again and Biden gets silenced by an unexpectedly aggressive Ryan?

I'm saying this after seeing that last debate where all of us was expecting Obama to clean house and kick Romney to the curb...

Have you ever watched Ryan? He is never passive

Yes :lol

I just read Nyhan's analysis of the media coverage on the employment report conspiracies. It's remarkable how often our media, with a few exceptions, propagate abject lies and baseless rumors.

Yeah. They would make sporadic appearances on State's campus. And they'd always set up on Farm Lane or behind Wells making it difficult to avoid them.

 

[jbug617]

yes. It was after the Convention.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

I should have known you were a fellow Spartan based on your tremendous posts.

Ah, another Spartan! Are you still attending?

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Ah, another Spartan! Are you still attending?

No, I finished my Master's there in 2010 (was there for undergrad too). I was back on campus for the Ohio State game two weeks ago (*green and white tears*). I love that campus so much.

man, B1GGAF seems to be really well-represented here relative to the rest of the country

CNN's love affair with Paul Ryan is creepy. They're giving him a blowjob since morning.

it's not really surprising since CNN seems to be inclined to be either FOX-lite or a constant diet of false equivalency/"moderate" backpatting now

 

[SmokeMaxX]

When's the debate start guys? I'm gonna be watching it on my phone since I'm making a little casino trip tonight as part of a groupon.

Poll: Romney Jumps To 7-Point Lead In Florida

Mitt Romney has taken a strong lead in Florida, according to a poll released Thursday.

Romney leads 51 percent to 44 percent, in a survey by Mason-Dixon. The survey of 800 likely voters was conducted oct. 8-10, and has a 3.5 percent margin of error. In the previous Mason-Dixon poll, conducted in mid-September, President Obama had an edge of 48 percent to 47 percent.

"There's no question in my mind that debate made people stand up and pay attention, and it really wiped away any questions people had about Romney, whether they were undecided or soft for Obama," polling director Brad Coker told the Tampa Bay Times, which co-sponsored the poll.

The PollTracker Average shows Romney ahead in Florida, 48.2 percent to 46.6 percent.

@joshtpm: FL President '12: ROMNEY(R) 51.0% OBAMA(D) 44.0% (10/11/2012 Mason-Dixon). http://t.co/Yxt3btuy

Hmmm

I know I've said it a million times, but there are all of two journalists on that channel worth anything and neither of them is Wolf Blitzer.

 

[CygnusXS]

Romney leading Florida? OK. By 7 points? That seems like a reach.

I need another dose of Hopium, these BarMittuates are killing me.

edit: This poll doesn't scare me as it's nowhere near several other recent Florida polls, I just came up with barMittuates and wanted to use it.

 

[Black Mamba]

Aren't mason Dixon like the worst pollsters?

 

[Cloudy]

Hope Biden can explain the $716 billion attack tonight if Ryan has the chutzpah to bring it up.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Hmmm

...weren't there just two polls showing obama up 1 and 4 taken at exactly the same time as this?

also PD i thought you were going to stop posting things that were horserace related, whatever happened to that

 

[BotoxAgent]

gais, need hopium stat!! :-(

 

[RDreamer]

Hope Biden can explain the $716 billion attack tonight if Ryan has the chutzpah to bring it up.

lol, I'd love Ryan to bring that up, considering he had that same baseline in his plan. That would cut any criticism of that number off and the knees. Go ahead Ryan, make Biden's day.

 

[Earthstrike]

I'm Canadian. Can I donate to the Barack Obama campaign? It won't be anything much but if it gets close and scary I may want to try to do my part to help out.

You can't donate to his actual campaign. I'm not entirely sure what the rules are for SuperPACs, though.

 

[B-Dubs]

Well considering SuperPACs don't need to tell anyone...shit I honestly don't know. I seem to remember some pro-Romney superPAC getting donations from overseas, but those might have been from US citizens.

 

[littleworm]

Everybody chill, I got this. I just did a poll in North Carolina and Obama is winning 70-30 with 10 RV's who happen to be people I live near and one of them is me. Put North Carolina in the blue column.

Spoiler

I think Phoenix does it for the attention.

There ya go.

It's going to be difficult if they stick to that dumb 2 minute format. I really want to hear both of them go into things deeper instead of only being able to reply with high level talking points and accusations.

The last debate was infuriating from that standpoint.

 

[Souldriver]

Will the vp debate be at the same time as the presidential one last week?

Was wondering that myself. Just looked it up, 9pm E.


wait, do you have internet?

 

[RDreamer]

Looked into the superPAC thing, and found this. Yeah you can't donate if you're from another country. Which is good, but it seems there are some oddities that can happen with that.

Agreed. There also wasn't enough room for rebuttal.

 

[StickSoldier]

So I'm not really sure on how polls work, but because Romney is leading in a poll with 800 LVs that means what exactly? Isn't that like a super small sample?

 

[littleworm]

But could you send money to an American as a "gift" and they turn around and donate it.

 

[Black Mamba]

Florida poll internals are nonsense.

Obama went from a 53-42 edge among hispanics to a 44-46 deficit.

Hispanics in Florida abandoning Obama? Not buying that.

The only age group that didn't shift to Romney from September was old people 65+.

Independent switched a lot, too, about equal to hispanics.

Whites moved down for Obama to 34%. I believe he lost some of that vote, though. But man, only polling 1/3 of white people is so low.

The hispanic vote just doesn't make sense to me. I don't believe he could lose that much of them.

14% of Dems switching to mitt.
Yeah. Bullshit.

 

[Plinko]

Hmmm

From what I recall Mason/Dixon had some horribly inaccurate poll numbers last election.
