All I said was one of the factors that COULD make the race competitive. If I've said anything besides that, I was being stupid (and note, nothing has changed in the race since then so I'm not using hindsight).
Obviously if the Democrats were to nominate the Mayor of Honolulu, it wouldn't matter if he were white or an one-armed albino midget, he's be very, very likely to win.
If I were to say the race against Dodd "maybe" could be competitive, and it turns out Dodd cruises to an easy victory, you do have enough cells in your body to figure out why I'm not proven wrong, right? If I'm making a prediction I'll avoid the qualifiers "maybe" "potentially" "could" and "possibly" "perhaps" "if" and such things, depending on context. It's really not difficult at all to figure out what my predictions are and what my speculation about variables are.
Sorry for going to town on you (I actually edited this post down a bit to remove more cuss words) but I've had a long night and your holier-than-thou attitude simultaneously while horribly twisting my words in order to make me look retarded has me internet-aggravated.
I get a lot of early information about races, and when things are still vague I like to speculate on what could happen, but in no way are those predictions.
See though, that's exactly the type of nonsense J. J. was so (rightfully) criticized over. It's inanity with an excuse. Obama
might lose white Democrats. Hillary
might have a superdelegate stampede to nullify the primaries. There
might be a massive Bradley Effect. Sound familiar? Dodd losing or the Democrats losing this seat aren't too far off from the ridiculousness of the aforementioned.
