Move over, Ohio; looks like Virginia is the true swing state.Yeah, any such map is amazingly misleading.
Here is the reality: Dirt does not vote. People vote. The weird distorted population maps present a much more accurate figure. Maps like this:
That shows how the election is close in popular vote.
I hope he's 100% so they're forced to admit he was right about everything. I hope Nate likes salty salty tears because he'll be swimming in them.

I really hope that when Obama gets back to campaigning he hits Romney over his lack of FEMA support just as recently as last year.

If the 1% is Obama winning Florida and North Carolina, yes.
Not going to happen.

Well then if Obama loses he has only himself to blame. He really hasn't called out Romney's flip flops nearly enough.
Complete nonsense.

The Jeep backfire has been insane. CEOs stepping in and clearing Romney's feces. I'm sure that plays well in northwest Ohio.

You might hear a jibe or two about the role in government in things like disaster preparedness, recovery, and infrastructure, but it wouldn't be prudent to call out specifics.
Hm.
Maybe GM should put out a couple of ads.

Hahahaha
Classic Mitt to fuck up when he shouldn't.
I am so glad it backfire on him haha.
It must be really frustrating for Romney. If Ohio truly was a tossup, he actually would have a puncher's chance at winning this race. As it stands though, Obama won Ohio in 2009 with the auto bailouts. There is literally nothing Romney can do about it, other than try to rewrite history.

Last year? Try June.
When Ohio gets called for Obama, I think I'm going to listen to this and think a little about ol' Mittens.

They feel the walls closing in around them.
Nate delivers good news for Obama.
Haha. But seriously it's REALLY bad at this Depot. In 2008 after the elections the racism was so rampant the Colonel mandated that we supervisors put every employee through "sensitivity training." We had ripped Obama pictures, anti-Obama slogans graffiti in the bathroom. We had to fire multiple employees over shit like "It's not the BLACK house, it's the white house" and "I hope that sand ****** fucking dies with his cousin Osama Bin Laden."
This year we've been doing sensitivity training preemptively because it has already gotten really bad again with the racism. One employee has been fired over it here. Every time I give a meeting I have to go over the Hatch Act and detail how we need to be respectful of other people's positions and NOT DISCUSS POLITICS at work.
There was a practical meltdown when someone found an AFL-CIO Labor 2012 for Obama Biden pin in the bathroom.

Throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
PD, if you need any clearer signal that the Romney campaign believes it's down in Ohio, I don't know what it is.

On the Romney Jeep thing, call me when somebody from evening news or cable news calls it the bold faced lie it is. or when a reporter asks Romney point blank why is his campaign putting out an ad with a blatant lie that Chrysler and GM have already debunked.
It's not just Republicans anymore. Pundits in general are joining in.
I was watching Al Sharpton on MSNBC, and they showed a picture I saw earlier on 4chan, previously I figured it was just some photoshop and at worst it was probably a RR shirt but either the producers of the show got tricked too or this is actually real.
Ignoring the obvious accussation that this was just a Photo op disguised as a useless relief effort, but those 2 grannies, WTF? People on the coast lost their home, all the clothes they have are in the bag they took on evacuation hoping to return a couple days later and these two think it's not only a good donation but also think it's fine to pose with it for the press? Sure we have seen dumb people before at political rallies but this... And of course Romney ain't to blame for this particular set of fans but seriously what kind of folks is he attracting? I would almost believe they were liberal trolls to make Romney look bad.

The only thing Virginia determines is how big of win Obama gets with Sam Wang's map.

How about I call you when he gets bad press from the local news which seems more important seeing as how it's a state issue?
Oh wait...
But he's not even a sand *****! He's a REGULAR STYLE *****! That's just unnecessarily inaccurate racism!

Really? Has Obama run a Mitt Then vs. Now ad? Really this hits to the heart of the Presidency, can you trust the guy? I've heard Obama talk about trust recently but showing is better than telling. Mitt's flip flops should be an ad. And his flip on FEMA should be a part of it. Anyone with a sense of reason would not vote for Mitt after seeing him take multiple positions on multiple issues.
I think the right knows Obama is going to win. At this point, all they are doing is trying to set the table for a massive election fraud narrative. They want to portray Obama has an illegitimate President who stole the election to provide cover for another 4 years of GOP obstructionism. So while we're all laughing at their outlandish predictions and the attempted smearing of 538, it's all part of a larger post-election political strategy.

I know. And I don't have the right to make a bet with Nate's career. My point is that Drudge has been pushing piles of horseshit for years with no accountability at all and he thinks he has the right to call Nate a 1-election wonder? Fuck off, Drudge.

I know he is getting local blowback and on some sites online. I want to see the press poll, so called journalists and cable news do their jobs too.
Everything R/R have done today is carefully constructed photo ops

You know what needs to be done after Obama wins reelection.
yeah but to these ignorant fucks "Osama" and "Obama" mean they're related

Yeah, me too. I think Nate's work is becoming a metaphor for so much of politics. Do you believe the people with the evidence, math, and science? . . . or do you believe the people with ideology, superstition, and vested interests?
The Republicans hate him because he is saying their guy will lose. The media doesn't really like him because he cuts through their bullshit faux narratives.

You better record their tears after election day.
Hey, I just saw the jeep ad again. :^D
A little bit ago I saw an ad that said something to the effect of "Obama didn't inherit the mess, he and liberals caused it by forcing banks to give loans to unqualified people." It was horrible. I think the group who put it out was called Empowered Citizens Network but I can find nothing about it, nor can I find the ad online.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The thing for me is that I don't think there's anything that either candidate can do to alter their vote share now. Romney's fuck ups are meaningless by this point and Obama didn't fuck up handling Sandy, so there's nothing left but the jobs numbers, which there are approximately like 6 voters nationwide waiting on.
The problem I have is that the "intuition" guys actually believe that Silver's model is snake oil if Romney wins the election.

The smell of well oiled leather filled his nostrils. The cold iron buckles holding the leather straps tight to his broad, bare chest gave him shivers. November 7th was late in the year for such a ride, but he knew when the call came that he was powerless to refuse.
He heard the motorcade pull up outside. His heart raced with anticipation and anxiety. The sound of a car door popping open echoed throughout the surrounding woods, followed quickly by a sharp thud as the door was slammed shut. Good, only the one got out. His heart slowed a tick, relieved.
The old wooden door groaned in protest as it's rusted wheels turned, sliding the slab of aged timber out of the entrance. The cold air of late fall in New Jersey whipped through the stable and the shivers began anew. Not just for the cold though. No, what was about to happen was every bit as spine tingling as any northeastern chill could ever be. He had ached for this moment for so long.
A tall dark figure strode forward, his dark riding boots were the first of him to step into the light.
"Who's a good pony? Want an apple? The dark figure said, holding out a ripe granny smith.
"NEIGH!" the governor cried, biting the apple with eagerness and fervor.
"Easy now pony, wouldn't want you choking on the core, now would we?" The man said, as he fed the apple to his prized pet. "Now lets mount up and go for a ride. It's been too long."
As the figure stepped the rest of the way into the light he removed the long black duster that he had been wearing. Under it he wore nothing but the riding boots and a pair pair of leather chaps, exposing so much of that beautiful brown skin. As he crossed the stable floor he plucked a riding crop off the wall. Immediately the governor dropped to one knee, unable to wait for the foreplay to be over and for the real fun to begin.
The man saddled up around his shoulders, securing his feet tightly in the stirrups that hung from the tightly strapped harness. Smooth thighs wrapped tightly around his fleshy jowls.
Then a sharp crack rang out as the crop bit deeply into the "pony's" fleshy behind and the rider called out "ON PONY! Let us taste the wind!"
And so the governor bolted with all his strength through the opened door, neighing with delight as his bare feet ran through the cold grass. Life as the First Pony, while fleeting, was the only life he truly desired.
Surprised it wasn't by "Americans for Freedom and Liberty".
I'm gonna need to be caught up here...
