I used to assume you were a troll. But you've responded to this crisis with an artfulness and gentility matched by few.
I share her slightly measured response. Really, the exuberance expressed by many over the weekend was unexpected. Liberals were justifiably disappointed with the compromise when it was announced. And although they should exert downward pressure on premiums, the MSPs are deficient substitutes for the public option. They're not worthless, though. And they could condition the country to accept a more expansive public plan.
indeed. i'm very concerned about the trend lines..
i think that's mostly from the baydoun consulting poll from a week ago that showed obama with a 0.36% lead. romney hasn't had a poll where he was tied or leading since mid-august.

Last MI poll was a week ago, from an obscure pollster (Foster McCullom), and had Obama ahead by less than half a percentage point. That appears to be the main thing dragging Obama down in the TPM average.

Allow me to make a crazy suggestion here. I don't think Obama should go back to campaigning. Sticking to the disaster relief and showing strong leadership will do a lot more than a few rallies will accomplish. It doesn't hurt that Romney's been tripping all over himself lately, either.
he's been campaigning this whole time, politicizing the hurricane in a time of national tragedy instead of helping with relief efforts like mitt romney.

Soon.
He Who Walks Behind The Rows wants you too, Kevitivity.
I knew there was a reason we're mortal enemies.
Touring with Chris Christie tomorrow and having Christie say more stuff about how good Obama is as President is campaigning Obama can't buy. Puts a hole right in Romney's argument that Obama can't be bipartisan.
Hmm. I could go along with the idea of him severely limiting his campaigning activity to just one 24-hour, six-state blitz? Perhaps with one final crowning rally with Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Michelle, etc all present? It could be on Sunday or Monday.. enough time away from this week's storm events.
Colorado > Wisconsin > Iowa > Virginia > Florida > Ohio
That, and I kinda get the sense that he enjoys that part of the ride. And this is going to be the last time ever for him. Yikes.
There you go again, striking an identical tone to what I'm thinking. This feels so strange - I like it!YES.
Clinton's around to melt female voters' hearts, I'm convinced. The man is a legend. We're watching a once-in-a-lifetime legend do his thing!
plus, clinton's around to do his dirty work for him.

Benefits of having a popular former president in your party. What would a President McCain be doing right now? He wouldn't be able to send Bush out there to campaign in his place, that's for damn sure.
The graph is a penis.

Lets keep this on the DL. We got a level of disdain we gotta keep up on the gaming side!
*zips lips*
Romney is fucked when it comes to likable replacements to campaign for him.
The GOP would be better off hiring an actor to pretend to be likeable and still share their views for the campaign trail.
There's a thread about this, I laughed when I read it.

GOP freaking out over Florida gets me giddy inside.
god damn. hw bush and son are the only republican presidents around right now. that's so weird.
wait..wait...wait...
baydoun consulting poll
holy shit I know those ass fucks who do those polls
no one should trust them...at all...they make up their numbers. I was at my university with them, and I remember them talking about how they did their "polling" (yes, they were graduated but still hanging around)
DO NOT TRUST THAT POLLSTER AT ALL. They are as incompetent as Michelle Bachman.
So... umm.. anyone taking off on Election Day?
I'd asked for vacation on Monday through Wednesday, but had to settle for an odd work schedule when a co-worker broke his L1 and needed emergency surgery. So now I have off on Monday, work only 8 hours early on Tuesday, and go in at noon on Wednesday for another short shift. (I usually do 50-60 hours per week)
Damn work.. cutting into my tear-drinking plans!
They're associated heavily with former Michigan governor John Engler (R), for what it's worth.

So how do they do their polling?
my god. it's full of stars.
calling it now: ohio is done. done is ohio. romney needs a hail mary play in wisconsin + co + va +nh or something now.
oh, and co and va are looking like what oh looked like about two-three weeks ago

And Clinton and Carter are the only Democrats.
Yup. Right at the point where more and more voters have already voted.. and right when most people are now well past the point of automatically tuning-out ads.
Go look at 538 to take a fresh hit of hopium.

Anecdotal evidence, but at work every time I hear black patients scheduling dental appointments for November they always say "I can't come on November 6th due to the election, any other day is fine." Heard three people say it today, and many others earlier this month
Our old white patients are just like "meh November 6th? Sure" lol

Dat 538 update. Obama got a nice spike and CO and VA are above 60%. FL also dropped below 60% for Romney.
God, I hope that my patients don't show-up on Election Day. I'd be able to cut-out early and attempt a nap. Sure, it'd be most likely futile (too excited to not be media-saturated and here on GAF as soon as I get home), but I want to get home ASAP!

Yep, I had to check. The guy in the picture is a very evil person. He has threatened many of my friends with slashing their tires, or telling their conservative Muslim families that the hijabi women have sex with tons of men. They have as much credibility as conspiracy theorists. Back in 2008 they made up their numbers the entire election, I was in the room when they were doing so.
Personally I've gotten verbally assaulted(to say the least) by both of the people incharged of their organization. One, rashid, is a democratic delegate. Tarek, the one pictured stole money from U of M, roughly 3,400 dollars.

HW Bush wouldn't be a bad person to have on your side except that (1) he's pretty old now and doesn't do public stuff anymore; and (2) The name 'Bush' is pretty toxic.
You need to tell somebody about this, for serious. Send Nate an email or something.
Pretty sweet 538 update, although I am a little curious about the Virginia numbers improving without a new poll. Either it was a trendline from the other swing states or it represents an improvement in the national numbers -- but remember that Gallup is missing from the trackers. Could drop back down somewhat.
Oh.
Also.

Why aren't people sending in their ballots ahead of time? Time off to vote is a severe issue. There is no guarantee. This should be a federally mandated thing where people are allowed to take time off to vote.
I don't care which side of the fence you're on.

he didn't seem like such a bad president, but i don't know if conservatives really like him, or if he even likes conservatives all that much.

Florida and Virginia essentially tied... hm.
That could very easily be 2 point leads for Obama.

I hope Obama wins VA, but as long as he's ahead by a good margin in the one state of those three he actually (probably) needs, I'm happy.
