Fork 'em, Sparky!
and I am pro-election day voting. Disapprove of able-bodied present people early voting! Join the fun, party spoilers!
Or it's the Ramada logo recolored:
Nah. It's Aquafresh logo.
Huh? I'm confused

Minnesota amendments going down would make me happy as a clam. The Republicans are probably going to lose their legislative majorities this election, letting Dayton do what he wants (passing a decent budget and single-payer, for starters), and they'll have nothing to show for their two years of power.
That's what you get for debating the sanctity of marriage while playing grab-ass on the side you hypocritical bastards.

Dispatch poll is considered to be pretty good. So, pretty close there at 50-48...maybe we are seeing some OH tightening. But Obama at 50% is good.
So Susquehanna had him down 4 last night, and now they're tied? That's actually good news, but that gain in a matter of one day?
I repeat, Susquehanna.
What ways doesn't she?You silly liberal you
What ways specifically does she appeal to you?
I have like a 94% platform position match with Jill Stein.It's the same poll. edit: No it's not. What the fuck? Two polls in the same three days that have wildly different results and they don't even think to question if something is wrong?

Well, yeah, I'm sure most people do, but AB is a conservative. Not a typical modern conservative, but still.
It's good. It's a conservative paper so they are obviously talking down the numbers in the writeup to give Romney voters hope

Which two polls? Two different pollsters
with significant GOP leanings

Mayhaps.
You should read what you link. It's the same pollster.
Speaking of Jill Stein and third parties, do you think getting rid of the electoral college would hurt third parties? People in California, New York or the Deep South can vote third party and still have their second choice get their states votes. Couldnt really do that if we went straight to a popular vote
Well, its a bit of a weird discussion anyways since the EC isnt going anywhere and 3rd parties are insiginificant right now anyways. Only way I see that changing is if we went to a parlimentary system

Feels refreshing.
Stuff we agree on:
Wars = bad, even the ones involving secretive drone programs that only further enrage the citizens of countries we target, fomenting new hatred and distrust down the line.
drugs = bad, but not illegal. Drugs should be decriminalized and instead, users should be offered free treatment instead of jail time, unless their drug actions cause physical, mental, or property harm to others.
Not enough stimulus was given out, while the big banks and wall street should not have been rewarded for reckless/illegal behavior. Anti-austerity.
Anti-prison and military industrial complex.
Right to free schooling kindergarten through college.
Anti-Fracking which will probably end up causing the next great environmental crisis, in my opinion.
Pro-Medicare for all.
My only problems with her are unfortunately for me are her positions on abortion. But, since I am smart enough to know that the GOP is too chickenshit to get any real anti-abortion reform put through when they are in office, this doesn't really factor into my voting. If I knew Romney was guaranteed to ban abortions in all cases except life of mother or rape/incest, even he would get my vote, but i know it is a pipe dream.
Basically, it is a travesty that she will get less than 1% of the votes this election.
Abolishing the electoral college would only come logically alongside a move away from FPTP in general (and we should do both

cosigned. Then we could finally have defined choice in politics outside of Douchebag liar (D) and Douchebag liar (R)

I have to admit, I'm gonna miss the daily polls and their fallout/hopium reactions.
One way or the other, either Obama or Romney, this thread's excitement is gonna end in 72 hours.
72 hours from now, we will likely know who won and by how many EV and then this party of fanfics, fallouts and faux concern/overreaction will settle back into just being the PoliGAF thread (with one "L")
Part of me is really sad over this but it's been a pleasure sharing this part of my existence with you crazy kids.

I know. It's been a really weird, intense shared experience. Now to share our Hopium supply with the rest of the OT...
If you vote for Stein you can never again call yourself any form of conservative, sane or otherwise.

Sooo... True...

I don't know too much about this. What great environmental crisis will it cause?

The major candidates have left me no choice.
Who do you think I should vote for, knowing my basic outline of positions?

You still have the freedom to vote on election day. And we have the freedom to vote early.
WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM?!?
Oh, you should still vote for Stein. You should just ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES.

The Susquehanna poll is new today. Last night was a reposting of the poll from a few weeks. ago. Some numbers, same internals, same sample size. They were updating the site and someone jumped the gun and started reporting that it was +4 again.
The new poll is the one they released now which showed it tied 47-47.
Is Susquehanna is showing a tie, Romney has no chance in Pa.

All good stances.
Seems like he's very similar to me. I realized that I didn't abandon conservative "ideals" when I became a "liberal." I just realized that "conservatives" weren't actually living up to those ideals at all.
Yes! Success!

Clinton doing three events in PA on monday...
AlteredBeast
Fork 'em, Sparky!
Wow, yeah, if Susquehanna is showing Obama gaining four points in Pennsylvania, I don't think there's much to talk about there.
http://www.gaslandthemovie.com/whats-fracking
Pretty sure thats the anti-fracking movie. I really havent looked into it all that much so dont have an opinion on the issue, but just based on testemonials in that vid, you can seriously fuck up the water supply if youre not careful
Not really sure if fracking can be made safe with good regulation/oversight and what not

Who gives a fuck what the surrogates are doing?
Is Obama doing 3 events in PA on Monday?
Hint: No.
Speaking of this, the Obama campaign has a lot of big surrogates going into the last days. The Romney campaign has only Romney and Ryan. They don't seem to be sending Ann on a separate way. The Obama campaign is sending Obama, Biden, Michelle, and Clinton all to different places for the most part. They can cover a lot of ground that way.

Unskew guy has done a pretty good job getting his insane logic on television.
Mostly because I'm not convinced that Casey would actually be much, if any, help.
Well, the other two options that you have seem like a bunch of nutjobs, so its either the SOPA democrat or not voting at all. Personally, id vote for the democrat since he'd fall in line with the pres on most issues

Chuck Todd has spent more time discussing sports predictions that impact elections than poll aggregation, stats, or any mention of Nate Silver. Just sayin
like barry zuckercorn, he's very good.
