hhhhhnnnnnnnggggggg A soothing hit of hopium.
But I'm building a tolerance to hopium. I need the stronger stuff . . . salty tears and an injection of schadenfreude.
I believe the dems will get a very very very very slim majority. The GOP will block anything and everything like they have for the past 2 years.

It'll be closer than people expect. Dems will get within 5 and maybe take it.
Perhaps you should try some opiates.
Oh shit. When Jackson uses simple and coarse language like that, you know you done goofed.
Don't like music?
I need the House, mang.
I recall being indifferent to this election in June due to the fact that Boehner's gavel is secure, but since then I've gotten wrapped up in the theatrics of presidential election. Now that I'm confident that Obama will win my mind is starting to settle on how much the House sucks and how unlikely that is to change.
The options are limited. A man can only listen to Fun and Pink so much.

From liberals when unemployment ticks up to 8%?
Democrats taking the house? I definitely don't think that's likely.
Shit. 7.7% guaranteed now

I hope Obama cooks those numbers again. One more time for good measure.

Dems will probably gain five to eight seats. Losses in 2010 made redistricting pretty rough for gains and Obama's coattails aren't very long this year.
Assuming Boner can stay upright as leader of the House, there's a chance that he'll work with Obama on a big budget deal in the lame duck or risk getting mowed down under sequestration pressure after the new year. I wouldn't count of any cooperation past that, the House GOP is just too extremist. Doubly so if the Senate actually reforms filibuster rules and the House becomes a last line of defense against the Obama atheist communist state.
I would also add that I would expect a leadership challenge in the House GOP ranks in the winter. There's just too much huge egos around for it not to happen.
Dear lord is that what he originally wrote? This is part of the reason why I hate tracking polls.
Cheebs, dear, please stop your schtick or your act or whatever it is. It's annoying.
The sad thing is that it really doesn't take much math to know that there's no way Romney was ahead.

Sometimes I wish I had appropriate laughing .gifs for my reactions to posts like this.
Can you imagine how the GOP would react to Nancy Pelosi becoming Speaker once more?
:^D
Chicago is hand delivering the numbers tomorrow, Obama's got this.

Romney can't even make it into Sam's yellow error range.
And he's put NC into the toss up group.
His model really indicates Obama locking it up more than Nate's. Of course there is that votamatic guy but he's going too far.

You folks will all eat crow when I went the amirox contest.
2014 Midterms
They'll tell you they knew about this all along, were just having fun, and then in 3 years Cheebs will tell you he was the only one that foresaw Obama having trouble at the first debate and that no one else guessed Obama would lose North Carolina.
Get to look forward to 2 years of Dems gonna get crushed in 2014 and a healthy daily reminder that nothing still won't get for the next 4 years due to GOP obstructionism.
Just a guess.
Sounds like the Times isn't happy with Silver's recent back-and-forth with Scarborough

Personally, have no problem with what Nate's been doing. He's been viciously attacked for simply using math and reading the polls without a filter.

Really depends on where you draw the line. I don't think anyone is necessarily wrong for thinking Mormons are 'Christians'.

It might go up one-tenth but I doubt that high. That said it probably goes down or remains steady.
If it goes up slightly I wonder if it would be driven by folks entering he labor force again.
It's a standards thing, the NYTimes wants to be above all the petty bullshit. That said I doubt they're going to do anything to him. They're just nervous that he might be wrong and if he is they don't want a huge amount of people to notice.

Avatar 2, I guess. I'd imagine most people are over the novelty and it won't trick nearly as many people into seeing it in theaters
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Either I told you so or losses in the 2014s. Maybe an Obama impeachment movement due to Benghazi
This isn't going to happen but it would really make the election.
It was numbingly stupid. Shit is an apt characterization.
Only five more days to troll about the election. But that won't stop you. You'll be terrorizing us for years.
LOL, this is why I'd never work with the Times. Hubris.
Silver's blog deal at the Times was a huge image and credibility win for the Times. They were utterly irrelevant, especially as a political rag. I mean these are the hacks so worried about losing access to the Bush administration that they agreed not to use the word torture with respect to the actions of Americans.
Among people familiar with both, no one would trust an NYT reporter over Silver.

The more I think about that Bloomberg endorsement, the more angry I become.
Why?

Yeah . . . if you believe in Christ as your saviour, you are a Christian. And there is a HUGE amount of variation in that gigantic Christian pool.
But I think it is stretching it a bit to call Islam a Christian religion. They don't call him Jesus Christ and while they view him as a prophet, they view his message as out-dated and to be replaced by Muhammad's message. I think the Book of Mormon is viewed as another book adding to the Bible, not a replacement for it.
Obama said he was really honored to get it, whats the problem?

Why's he so confident on CO?
Dude, no one reads more than the headline. Don't care about Bloomberg, he's welcome to be crazy; just glad he might win a few votes.
So I am listening to Obama make his case in a rally right after watching the horrifying Romney Ohio rally interviews.
I mean, I get that I am comparing the candidate making a carefully crafted appeal to the other's bottom feeders, but still. It's enough to drive me insane that Obama isn't up by 70 points.
Slowly, slowly going losing my mind. Tuesday can't get here soon enough.

Why are you guys reading the endorsements?
Number of people influenced by endorsements: 37
Number of people influenced by endorsements who read endorsements: 0.
It's science.
