Who was that one Obama fan that kept talking about Hilldawg running out of money, everybody laughed at him, he got banned, and then ended up being right? Lefty something?

Even F5 pros won't be saved.

The post you quoted will be a page back by the time it refreshes.

Remember the Super Bowl thread when the Giants beat the Pats?

Imagine worse than that.

was chuck on tv today spouting chuck-todd-esque knowledge? or is he saving his 'im going to pimp surface and update my map' spiel for tomorrow?

He can't pimp anything, that's the problem. If he displayed reality at this point, he would have give Obama the majority EV.

I'm still debating myself on whether I should just hide out on election night, away from any and all TVs.

I love Chuck too, but I dont think he would get that job.

He is their political director and head of the Washington division of NBC news, but he isnt a talking head. I would give them mad props for doing it though.. I dont know who they go after, their own talent is too partisan except for Gregory who is a moron.

Maybe go after Anderson Cooper from CNN? I think he would be a good fit.

It took 2 months for Cooltrick to come back after his North Carolina prediction failed horrible. And even then all he did was spam the thread with bullshit a little and left without admiting his failure. Says he went to less Obama loving forums, in which I can only assume he meant Hillaryis44

Just give it to Brian Williams. I'm sure he'll end up getting the spot one day anyway.

So, question for election night: Are we going to have just one huge election thread, or is downticket stuff going to be separate? I've got a few other races I'm watching.

How about Rachel Maddow? I know she's partisan, but so is Stephanopolous, and that has worked well.

We used to have some characters around these parts, that's for sure. We used to have some hard-core arguments, ban bets, all kinds of crazy stuff. Now that the threads are mostly poll-watching, I sort of miss those days.

CoolTrick was a moron, though. He gets no sympathy from me.

EDIT: I'd also love to see a seperate thread for the down-ticket stuff. I'd love to read about peoples' local Representative, Governor, and Senate elections, but it'd just be lost in the shuffle of one thread.

Probably one big election night thread.

Aka the fastest moving thread in OT GAF history. It will be epic.

I'm taking election day off work. I wouldn't get anything done, anyways. :lol

oh man good call...

PoliGAF - Presidential Thread of Hopium/Maverickness
PoliGAF - Senate Thread of Filibusted/McConnell Strikes Back
PoliGAF - House Thread of OMG How Many/Pelosi Falls!

because the presidential thread alone will be moving so fast, and there are so many other races that are going to be heavily watched...

I just went over to Hillaryis44 to check what was up. Apparently they're all aboard the "Obama is a socialist!" train now, which is interesting considering Hillary's '90s universal healthcare plans. They also believe Obama is having an affair and only bring up polls when they are "narrowing" (per Drudge). Hard to believe the level of cognitive dissonance going on there.

So you've got the Clinton's doing rallies, Obama and Biden are doing separate rallies all over the country. Michelle is also doing interviews and her own appearances. All these people are able to cover a lot of ground.

Except with McCain, he basically only shows up with Palin. And Cindy is usually with him as well. And as far as I know, nobody else is doing big rallies for him (the president certainly isn't).

How the hell does McCain contest in all these states that were supposed to be "swing" states that he's down in?

He just can't do it. There's not enough time and he can't spread out people to take on various areas like Obama can.

Romney was going to try in Michigan, until McCain decided that he hated Romney and as such didn't want to give him a platform to speak from, deciding then to pull out of Michigan

Quick question...how do these rallies have a big effect in the first place? I would think people coming out for them would already be Obama voters. Are they trying to inspire people to go out and spread the word or something?

I'm sure there are many valid reasons, but rallies always make the local news.

Yeah I was just looking at the big poll graph on this page wondering if it was the new one.

Apparantly so!

Ten point lead. Too bad this is trending McCain. :(

i wouldn't be too worried about polls trending toward mccain. it's kind of silly to think he'd do as bad as he has been for the rest of the homestretch. he'll make gains, will lose some.

Only during the primaries. They're in full-time Republican shill mode now, which is a pretty bad place to be because all the actual data suggests that they are in for a pretty convincing loss.
