Huntsman is tainted by Obama.
Oh, I think they'll manage to deny reality a while longer, if the past four years are anything to go by.
Won't make their tears any less delicious, of course. Really looking forward to that Unskewed Polls dude's take on the election results.
it's not and the people who talk about texas flipping by 2020 1) don't live down here 2) have never worked in texas politics.

5 out of the last 7 presidents have been left handed, Obama included. Romney is right handed. Trends show Obama will win.

Hi everyone, first time Poli-GAF poster. 
Looking at the electoral math, comparing Obama's worst case scenario to Romney's worst case scenario is a great way to gauge the odds of an Obama/Romney win. The difference in this election is that Obama's worst case scenario still gives him a 80-90% chance of edging out Romney with a clean 270 total. That's if he loses Ohio (likely not), Iowa (likely not), Florida (very likely), Colorado (likely not) but holds on to the Great Lake states (which he likely will), Nevada (likely), New Hampshire (very likely), and Virginia (likely, but will be the hardest to snatch). While it's possible that Obama could lose every swing state (due more to Murphy's Law than any real evidence), taking polls as any kind of indication show that his worst case scenario is still a successful presidential election.

Well, the first film of every Star Wars trilogy comes out when a Dem is president. Obama must be the PotUS in 2015.
Then again. . . .
SW IV=D SW V=D SW VI=R
SW I= D SW II=R SW III=R
Perhaps then
SW VII=R SW=VIII=R SW IX=R

A shame you live in a blue state. You won't get AS much tears from the GAFers that live in the states.

I'm sad that the PPP wisconsin poll doesn't have anything about favorite son Ryan...He is campaigning there right now.
This video is going to get a couple million views.
Four of my nearby coworkers are teabagging, Fox News loving, chain email forwarding diehards. Not much, but they're my touch point for all things crazy. I plan to violate one of my rules and wear my Obama t-shirt to work next Wednesday. The last time I did so was the day after the 2008 election. I'll be sure to drift by their cubes and say hi. Hopefully they're not at home in mourning.

You can tell he's new because he's still being sensible and realistic. No worries, we'll have you trolling and dripping with sarcasm in no time.

That's very bad news for Obama.

Proud consumer of hopium here.
I work for a Fortune 500 company and in my small dept. and my direct manager, our boss, and the kid who's cube is behind me are all hardcore republicans. All of them are relatively moderate when it comes to social issues but refuse to budge when it comes to debating either foreign policy or economic issues no matter how much empirical evidence I provide to the contrary (AKA the non-partisan Tax Policy Center's analysis of Romney's tax plan rips it to shreds) the fall back to the most nonsensical Fox News talking points and bash Obama relentlessly.
I really hope I'm drinking their salty tiers come next week.
EDIT: I've been refreshing this Poli-GAF thread relentlessly the past few days and plan on doing so religiously over the next few so keep up the good work!

Awesome post, welcome aboard. =)
I have to adhere to the hospital scrubs dress code, so no t-shirts here. But I will make my commentary with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. I'll be incredibly cheery on the day after without saying single a word about it in mixed company; it'd seem ridiculous for a co-worker to complain, "Heyyy.. Tom's being too nice and happy! Not cool! I'm going to file a complaint!"

Oh, and there's a SUSA poll just out showing Obama up 7 in Minnesota. Like I said.. Minnesota is incredibly Dem-friendly. I kindly invite Romney to spend lots of time there over the following week. Maybe he'll say something funny so that Garrison Keillor has something humorous to riff off of this weekend.

That's usually only if you're customer-facing from what I've seen. If it's just an office, not quite as strict.

I work with mostly Republicans, which shouldn't be much of a surprise in the oil industry I guess.
If I remember correctly you're a Republican too right?That must be aawkward for you at work, bit like the guy above in the Fortune 500 company who's surrounded by Republicans lol.
My dad works in the oil industry and used to vote Republican, but ever since the first Bush term, he has voted pretty much Democrat all the way down ballot each election (state and local included).

I can't wait until this is over. My ultra JAYZUSSS conservative family is driving me insane.
From now on, when people start talking politics with me, I will ask "Do you think Barack Obama was born in America?" If they say no, I will refuse to continue any discourse with them. If you talk to the pro-Romney people long enough, they'll show their true colors eventually, in my experiences.

I work for an electric utility with a coal plant. So yeah, almost all Republicans.
But thankfully political discussions that don't relate to our industry are pretty much nonexistent.

I'm kind of the same way, although I'm not big on discussing politics in real life. "Not born in america" is kind of the canary in the coal mine when it comes to political discourse with somebody these days. If you're a birther, I'm done.
I'm kind of surprised you have a job, considering the amount of time you spend on here spewing nonsense.
thats a weird statement from you. How are you both a liberal and a Clinton fan?

Nate's latest post on 538 is a nicely added dose of hopium. Pretty much comes to the same conclusion we all have, if the state polls are to be trusted, Bams is in line for a W.

I am a flaming liberal and voted Clinton in NC in the 2008 primary, well after everything was decided, and would still vastly prefer Hillary over Obama if given the choice. I don't hold a grudge about it tho, Obama is a pretty swell guy.

I'm more interested in the House races, tbh.
I'm lucky, I work for a small company that gets a lot of money from DoD but the owner hates Mitt Romney's guts. He was originally from another country and got his wealth from the semiconductor business so he's not entrenched in DoD stuff - that's probably the only reason why he's not conservative. It's funny though, he always complains about hating government waste considering where our funding comes from. But the company itself is a mix of liberal and conservatives but no crazies fortunately.
I missed this whole Gallup has Romney winning the early voting thing. When did this happen? Do they have any kind of breakdown? I mean if all state polls and even the GOP from the state are saying they are losing early voting, how does Gallup have them ahead?
well yeah, that makes sense. Saying that as a liberal the dem's left you because they didn't choose Clinton is a whacky stance to take.

Ah so Barry bailing out the auto industry some how had a positive effect in you getting a job. Deny it all you want. In bailing out the auto industry many businesses were saved in Ohio and Michigan where you reside.
It really bothers me that people refer to the president as Mr Obama. he is still the president is he not?
