I was in the top 3 for a couple of threads, though last one I didn't post as much.

I gotta step up my ground game.

rmFA is blowing it.

I didn't get a single mention in Dax's fanfic.

I guess I'm not a 'sweetie' yet.

If I included everyone it would be too long, dear.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Dax, I loved the fanfic but I do have to take issue with you saying I am a recent addition, on and off again. In reality I was banned for some time due to doing in the Nintendo threads what PD has done year for much longer.

Is 'dear' the entry level for 'sweetie'?

Do I have to level up?

 

[AniHawk]

The two most prominent, recent additions are AniHawk and ClovingWestbrook (formally known as LovingSteam). AniHawk went first: "Sales-age kind of died when NPD decided to not release console figures. So I migrated here. Poll numbers more than satisfactorily fill my appetite for figures and numbers.".

pretty accurate. but like with console wars and playoff games, i'll probably be gone in these megathreads until the next big event.

i was really big in poligaf around four years ago. not messing with numbers as much now, but i was a huge dick to the other side, and i still feel bad for that behavior.

Any time we have a tax policy debate, I begin to fall asleep a bit, as the folks on one side of the debate are entirely unreasonable and like to conveniently "forget" where the top lines used to be.

I'd love to see us go back to where they were for most of Reagan's two terms. But for some reason, that's evil. Ugh.

Looks to me like lowering the atx rate actually caused the great depression.

Is there a dealwithit.gif for politics?

Dear, sweetie, honey, sweetheart, pumpkin, etc – there aren't any levels. They're all the same to me, love.

[PhoenixDark]

Governors always work wit presidents during natural disasters, Christie isn't doing anything note worthy. Christie often has nice things to say about Obama during non-election periods

The only utter asshole governor I can remember during similar events was the Lousianna governor a few months ago

Amtrak cancels northeast service ahead of Sandy

Papa Joe won't be able to catch the train to Wilmington. Worst storm ever.

I don't want to deal with it! At least when Obama wins I can take pleasure in that, knowing that PD is still butthurt over Hilldawg.

Jindal is always a big ass. He's right at the point where the Republicans are about to turn on him.. although they'll still vote for him over anything with a (D) next to its name. Kinda like how David "The Diaper Man" Vitter wins re-election.

 

[Clevinger]

If the Bush (Obama) tax cuts expire, does that include capital gains? And if so, what would that rate rise to? Thanks.

I would love to see an electoral map prediction from PD.

How 'bout it, PD?

 

[Plinko]

That's really the only reason to do it (and I think its a very good one). The actual increase in tax revenue would be fairly negligable. One reason why Obama's talking point about using taxes to reduce the defecit bugs me, but I know the income inequality argument would not go over well.

With the way rich people donate to political parties, we'll never again see a push to jack tax rates back up that high.

7:00 est
44 romney - 3 obama (va too close to call)

7:30 est
64 romney - 3 obama (oh + va too close to call) - diablos threat level red

8:00 est
107 romney - 99 obama (oh + fl + va + nh too close to call)

8:30 est
113 romney - 99 obama (oh + fl + va + nh too close to call)

9:00 est
216 romney - 163 obama (oh + co + va + wi too close to call. nh for obama, fl for romney)

10:00 est
225 romney - 179 obama (oh + co + ia + va too close to call. wi for obama)

between 10 and 11 est:
238 romney - 203 obama (co + ia too close to call. va for romney, oh for obama)

11:00 est:
281 obama - 245 romney (co too close to call. ia called for obama)

1:00 am
281 obama - 257 romney (co called for romney but point is moot)

kinda how i see the night playing out. somewhat of a worst-case scenario for obama.

i expect a lot of people freaking out for most of the night as romney looks like he has a commanding lead, especially when nc/fl get called for romney. or even if nh does. expecting more freakouts when wi is labeled too close to call.

i also think ohio and wisconsin will be dangled like a string in front of a cat to keep people glued to their sets, but they'll go ahead and call it before the west coast reports in (i think ohio was called for obama sometime between 10-11 est last time?)

This is really worst case. There's no way FL is getting called at 9pm. Even in 2008 it was called at 11:16.

http://uselectionatlas.org/INFORMATION/ARTICLES/ElectionNight2008/pe2008elecnighttime.php

Looking at that actually makes it hard to determine how Obama will be trailing I think.

Who?

No idea. I would guess it's Hillary Clinton for the Democrats, either because she wants it or is coerced to counter a Republican female ticket.

that page annoys the shit out of me because they color Obama's states red, and McCain's states blue

Missed that. Hm. Well, it pretty much has to be that way given polls. But Romney's been trailing Obama in Ohio all month, and Romney can't seem to pull ahead in Virginia.

 

[Byakuya769]

After much pleading and begging, I set aside some time for Byakuya769. "I don’t really have much to say. I’m just happy to finally be in one of these PoliGAF write-ups."

Hahaha, douche!

Why is Obama ahead in Nevada when their UE is so high?

 

[The Librarian]

If there are any capital gains cuts tied with the Bush tax cuts, they'll expire along with everything else.

Hahaha, douche!

Anybody know if Romney's Jeep/China lie is gaining traction in Ohio?

Ask PD.

Latinos and Las Vegas service economy -> Reid's Democratic machine.

[SpeedySwaf]

I think it's too late for Romney to make any significant gains in Ohio. It would have to take something extremely drastic, like Obama eating a baby or something.

Not to mention that they're going to be talking about the storm and recovery efforts for most of next week probably.

 

[Black Mamba]

If the Bush (Obama) tax cuts expire, does that include capital gains? And if so, what would that rate rise to? Thanks.

Yes, capital gains goes back up to 20% for long term rates at max (from 15%). Lowest two income brackets of people go from 0% to 10% for the same.

Dividends go back to personal income tax rates, so all the way up to 39.6% for the wealthy (from 15%).

Here's my final prediction:

281/257 Obama.

VA will be called at 9:11PM

Popular vote: .5%, Romney

Because only gas prices matter.

Oh my.

Bad news for Florida.

 

[pigeon]

And there you go. Two or more points improvement in every PPP poll tonight.

 

[B-Dubs]

Wow, bad news for PD.

 

[Tendo]

Whoa. WHOA. Best news all day.

That is a nice string of PPP quotes. Keep it going. Looks so good.

FL is going to be close, but I think the ground game will flipped it.

 

[Red Blaster]

My sources tell me that due to this poll Obama has cancelled his appearance in Orlando tomorrow and is just gonna go back to the white house and chill for the rest of the week.

More Mittmentum inbound.
