You are one of the most hilarious people I've ever seen in a political thread. No disrespect meant by that. We are either all panicking or being totally optimistic about the election and you just drop a huge ass post whenever about your options for putting money into the race, scenarios all drawn out, etc. Has been thoroughly entertaining to read.
Yeah, this is why I really hope Bams can carry VA too. Or IA+CO+NV+NM.

Quick question, if you request and absentee ballot do you have to use it if you want to vote? This is NC by the way.

Dick will still look stupid because of the crazy margin he predicts.
Dick Morris would be more than happy to take the hate if it would ultimately mean Obama is a one term President
He'd take the hate if it meant that people remembered his name for one more day.

Its ashame you're such a troll. Whatever knowledgeand insight you do have is undone by your continual trolling. If you did this on the gaming side I suspect you'd have different results.

I think people tend to be vindicated for outlandish projections if they at least get the winner right.
No disrespect taken. I've noticed that a lot of people on here tend to panic when there's no need to panic. I've responded to it enough times (not enough to make the Wall Of Fame though!) in the last few threads. If Obama holds Ohio and Nevada, he wins. There's no reason to suggest he won't hold both. Hell, Romney's campaign has basically said that Nevada is going to Obama. Ohio is the only question mark and Romney hasn't lead there in so long. If you factor in how many voters the polls might be missing, it's clearly even more in Obama's favor. If there's confusion and panic (or just confidence settling in with Conservatives/Republicans), I'd rather profit on it than get worried. I've played all the scenarios out in my head and it's just extremely difficult for Romney to win.
Romney has two weeks to make up a lot of lost ground. There's no debate or national convention to help him out now. The ONLY thing he can do is hope he uncovers the Obama version of the 47% video. If the Republicans had such a thing, they'd have already brought it out. Every single second that Romney isn't gaining in the polls, he's losing. And if Romney is losing, that means I'm winning.
The beautiful thing about Intrade is it's hard to lose all your money on something like this. Even if Obama was likely to lose, I'd imagine he'd be where Romney was pre-3rd debate (at the $4 mark) just due to the uncertainty of the race (if I unloaded soon enough). Even if I bought $5000 worth of shares at $6.50 I could sell them for $3076 ($4/share). However, if I win, I get $7690. In this situation, reward is higher than risk (although I'm making the assumption that Republicans don't uncover some bombshell that sends Obama down to like $2 a share).
I will punch a baby if there's enough voter fraud in Ohio to turn the election. I will also lmao if Ohio does its best to cheat Obama out of the Presidency and Virginia goes blue.
The leading Nordic newspaper has published a "Candidate Selection Engine for the US Presidental Election" based on the positions of the candidates (long explanation below the engine itself).
I haven't seen any more complex ones (or even as simple as this) at US media sites. Why is that? I'd imagine this would be the easiest tool for undecided voters. Or have I just missed all of those?
edit: BTW I scored 100% Obama, took the screenshot early

I got 91% Obama. I didn't have a clue on the financial regulations question since it's not my expertise.
I think I'm going to request an absentee ballot tomorrow. I'd rather not drive 30 minutes and then wait 2 hours in line to vote in a state that's going 100% for Romney.

Why the hell is Obama trying to give Off the Record newspaper interviews? lol
He predicted Obama winning in 08.
Doesn't make his dumbass map where Louisiana was a swing state and Tennessee leaned Obama look any better.

He isn't trying to give off the record interviews. For whatever reason Des Moines Register editorial board has become accustomed to getting to interview candidates for an hour before endorsing. Obama campaign sees such a long on-record interview (as in the whole audio gets released) not worth the risk and offered to do an off-record one instead. While it certainly would be preferable for candidates to give as many interviews as possible, Des Moines Register shouldn't expect preferential treatment.

Pretty sure they just converted American dollars to Euros for the numbers to make more sense to people in Finland.

Rand shows big gain for Obama! Nearly +4!
Obama gained a point while Romney lost one. 49.2-45.3

wonder if we'll see any small movements in the longer trackers tomorrow. a 2-point bump across the board would seal the deal.
this shift apparently comes to us from a 2-point slide in romney voters' intentions to vote.

Anyway, looks like a big dip in GOP intention to vote being the main culprit. Guess they didn't like his debate performance.

Excitement might be abating after Obama stomped him in the foreign policy debate. He looked stupid "why don't we have more horses"

I hope so. Don't like seeing 4 point popular vote difference in any tracker.
i'm kinda surprised that people are actually attributing this to him (not that i'm saying you're doing the same). that 'zinger' was really the takeaway line of the debate.
that game changer book mentioned sarcastic obama who appeared in one of the debates with hillary. if any of that was true, man it was sure him right then and there. the bayonets and horses line was good on its own, but 'battleships that have planes that land on them' and 'battleships that go underwater' was fucking brutal.

That tends to happen, sort of like Palin's "I can see Russia from my house." The line that was parodying was just as stupid but not quite the same.

That's how good the line was: people actually believe Romney wants more horses and bayonets. It's an "Al Gore created the internet" moment that will probably live on regardless of who wins.

It makes me think of the weird kids at my school who knew every detail of every war and were fascinated by older styled weapons. I don't know if that's a universal stereotype or not.
Lol that line was so funny. I watched it a few times just to make sure I saw it right the first time. Yep.
i just read that article.
People actually believe that crap?

Young Turks reaction to the debate is hilarious, Cenk commentary is exactly how democrats felt while watching:

rofl I used to be one of these kids, I was fascinated by world war 2 in middle school and learned everything I could about it whether it was event dates, important people, tactics or weaponry. I wanted to be a marine for a good 3-4 years of my life when I was younger and I knew part of that was learning military history.

Oh man I remember those. Every school must have had them. The ones I remember also had an obsession with reading Tom Clancy novels.

Wow... So Joe Scarborough is depressed that Obama has to stoop to talking about Romnesia, ignoring the fact that what he's talking about is real, that Romney is changing his positions by the day. I love this faux outrage about the term.
He looks the other way when every other word coming out of Romney's mouth contradicts the last one, but is appalled when Obama points out said behavior.

It's because Joe has caught teh romnesia.
Welcome to the failure that is the American media.
He's not alone though. It would appear that most voters ignore Romney's ridiculous amount of flip-flops.
Yeah Joe has caught Romnesia. A few weeks ago he was criticizing every other conservative because Romney is not a true conservative and he has shown no details. Now he has turned into the very people he has been criticizing.
It is refreshing when others feel the same way you do. I listen to Randi Rhodes and other progressive radio shows and they say the same thing. MSNBC has changed drastically after the first debate. And no one is calling out the obvious Romney lies.
Word has definitely come down from somewhere or maybe it is just a case of keep the race tight when it isn't to keep viewership on the TV shows up and the clicks up on the websites.
