hannity and Rush are LITERALLY GOP spokespeople. Literally. Their checks may not come directly from the GOP coffers but their instructions do.
Did he lose all of his shame in 2008? Why is is he willing to sink so low? Maybe a Republican in the White House is the only way he ever sees himself being in a position of power again.

Dude's probably still bitter toward Biden for ruining his career.
I think that's true for Hannity, but not so much for Rush.

Won't stop picking the right nation
Cuomo might make a tempting candidate, but I think there will be immense pressure to vote for Clinton, because few Democrats want to see her upset twice.
On another note, PPP might be my favorite polling firm. I love their subversive sense of humor.

He took a giant dump on Romney in 2008, saying he had no core. I understand he wants Romney to win because he's a republican, but it's odd that he would attack Obama so hard on the hurricane.
As with every issue I'd imagine once it gets politicized Obama's numbers will go down, people will keep suffering, republicans will grand stand on providing aid, etc. I just hope Chris Christie is willing to take on his own party here. This is his city, and whatever you think of him it's clear he wants to fix it. But will he go to bat for Obama when the actual battle begins, assuming of course Obama wins the election.
Awesome is the word
That's the typical orientation of my posts. But the election, which I've tired of, has not permitted many opportunities. So why not highlight an important issue receiving inadequate attention.
Word. I think the NY media will bring him down, though. You already get the sense they're just waiting for his announcement so they can spring into action with they're bottled up news.

If it came down to Hillary or Biden, I'd choose Hillary if only for the fact that I think she has a better chance of winning. If it came down to her or Sherrod Brown, though, I'd choose Brown. He'd have Ohio locked down.

It's just unskewed except making the baseless theory that independents like Romney. The numbers that fill out the 100% of total votes aren't all Romney votes by any stretch of the imagination nor are they for Obama either. There are still people that vote Green or whatever.

Rudy Guiliani still gives a shit about Rudy Guiliani
So Mitt Romney would make a better President?
I realize Cuomo isn't the most ideal if you are liberal, but I'd take him over a GOPer any day.

Sniggers?
I love the idea that we get a two-for-one with Hillary. That's another biiig part of why I think she'd be formidable to win in the general election; people remember the Clinton years as a wonderful time when the worst thing you had to worry about was inappropriate intern-cigar relations.

Why bother countering, we are a few days from 100% proof that theory is wrong

You'll only get "lol puddles" responses. Dems will outvote republicans but not by enough to save Obama in every state. Romney is not just winning the independent vote, he's crushing the Election Day vote. It won't be enough for Romney to win Nevada or Iowa but Ohio, Florida, and Virginia look good for him
(I've already provided responses to both those points in this thread this week. Look back.)

Pigeon had a post about how polls sample and why they're not really using the "2008 electorate"

If Republicans want to make the argument that God personally stepped in to hand the election to Obama, I'm OK with that.

Here's a link to the witchcraft: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2012/10/can_romney_win_indies_lose.php
- Kerry won "independents" and lost in 2004
- Party ID fluctuates and most polls just sample the electorate w/o weighing for ID
Laughter is the appropriate response when people say asinine things. Not only was it appropriate for the VP debate when Biden smiled and laughed at Ryan's silliness, but it's also appropriate when addressing the conjured-up fear du jour expressed by the lily-livered folks in here.
(I seldom address the trolling, but goddamn is this shit getting tiresome.)
Shucks. Too bad about those independent voters.

Republicans love to identify themselves as independents because it makes them feel like they represent the same, levelheaded middle that has all the right answers yet always votes for extreme right wing idiots, what else is new.

http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/ Basically, I don't even understand the underlying point. Independents are already counted in the polls.

The polls include independents. What more does one need than that?
Grove is a cell-phone-including pollster whose polls may be just slightly blue-tinged; they showed +6 in Nevada while others were showing +4, but Mellman also showed +6, and they're one of the polls to show Obama leading in Florida in the last couple weeks. That represents a +1 for Obama in Ohio since the 29th; they haven't been to Iowa before. Overall I think these more or less match up with the 538 averages. Maybe Iowa was a little tighter than we'd like.

Blue tinged in general or just because they call cell-phones? That sort of blue-tinge doesn't seem unfair.
