1  Presidential Elections - Analysis and Discussion / Presidential Election Trends / Re: Do comedians like Bill Maher hurt Democrats with rural/white voters? on: May 21, 2013, 05:44:55 pm
Taking the question literally, no, I don't think anyone really cares that much what a comedian says, much less base their vote on it. However, Maher types certainly do turn people off the party.

Can't really trust either, the GOP want to sink Obama, but the administration obviously has interests to protect.

Of all the candidates named above, Schweitzer beats them all hands-down. But Elizabeth Warren would be better.

Only a Kentucky liberal would say that. Again, Schweitzer is not a Democrat. He is incompatible with the 21st century Democratic agenda.

Cuomo isn't on the record for advocating anything that would be contentious in a Democratic primary like Schweitzer and gun control. He's continuously toed the line in his governance as a Clinton-esque centrist, but he wouldn't campaign on anything fiscally conservative. The left would be right to point to his record, but that's nowhere near the same problem as running for the nomination as, say, Huntman's views on climate change or Brian Sandoval and abortion.

Cuomo is just going to try and paint himself as Slick Willy's protege.

Why should Democrats support that approach when Slick Willy's wife, a true blue liberal, is available and by far more electable?

Clinton or Gillibrand. Schweitzer and Cuomo are not Democrats.

Calling Cuomo and Schweitzer DINOs and being for Hillary Clinton and Kirsten Gillibrand is lolzy.

Cuomo and Schweitzer have positions incompatible with the Democratic agenda. Clinton and Gillibrand do not.

What official position of Cuomo's are you referring to? Schweitzer is on the record about guns, sure.

The man is a fiscal conservative.

I don't think he's an amazing governor or anything, but he's anti-union and that's good enough for me.
9  General Politics / Political Debate / Re: FCC considering allowing profanity and non-sexual nudity on: May 03, 2013, 01:34:41 pm
There should be no restrictions on words in anything anywhere ever. Same goes for body parts.

The soft drink douche isn't a good choice for political office in general.

Couldn't Clinton attack him from the left? Would young voters reject her again?

Tobacco shouldn't be legal, but since it is then yes.
13  Presidential Elections - Analysis and Discussion / 2016 U.S. Presidential Election / Re: So, now that the GOP is abandoning gay marriage... on: March 27, 2013, 04:40:36 pm
Yeah, I think self-destruction is coming. The tea party/far right element ain't giving up without a fight, and I don't see them recovering from it anytime soon. I mean just look at Christie not being invited to CPAC, you can't be a serious party with this nonsense directing the voters.
14  Election Archive / 2012 Elections / Re: Bill Clinton Trolls Romney on: November 15, 2012, 03:40:39 pm
Where the F did this myth come from that Romney was favored before the hurricane? As far as I recall, it was the same narrow Obama lead that had persisted since the debate.
15  Election Archive / 2012 Elections / Re: Obama's white vote percentage by state. on: November 14, 2012, 10:38:28 am
Obama had to have gotten 50% in WA, OR, & probably MN, IA & WI. Also, how the F could Obama get below 20% in OK when he got over 30% of the vote? Absurd.

Black, Latino, and American Indian voters.

President Obama probably got a 70%+ share of American Indian vote nationwide, but nothing like that in Oklahoma. American Indians are more assimilated politically and economically in Oklahoma than in Arizona or South Dakota. They are a large part of the electorate in Oklahoma. 

But in the last couple of elections, if you trust CNN exit polls at all, Kerry & Obama were getting above 25% with both male and female whites in OK. Obama's share of the vote declined 1%, so I don't think he got below 20% of whites this time. I just don't trust these numbers.

Hopefully, competence is hard to find these days. Not to mention we could be facing Christie vs Cuomo.
18  Election Archive / 2012 Elections / Re: The Official "I Voted!" Thread on: November 07, 2012, 02:07:15 am
Proudly voted for Obama and am thrilled with his victory. Hopefully he will govern with confidence, despite any "mandate" nonsense.
19  Election Archive / 2012 Elections / Re: Do Republicans think Mitt Romney will win? on: November 05, 2012, 03:25:36 am
Check Ann Coulter's twitter, apparently Romney is on track to win IL.
20  Election Archive / 2012 Elections / Re: Who did you support in 2008? Who are you supporting in 2012? on: November 04, 2012, 08:28:26 pm
Obama/Obama. Both times I have been for his opponent until after the conventions.
21  Election Archive / 2012 Elections / Re: Obama projected the winnder on CNN..Your Reaction? on: November 04, 2012, 06:25:58 pm
Yay. Maybe a little dance.
22  Election Archive / 2012 Elections / Re: How excited are you to see the other side's reaction to Tuesday? on: November 04, 2012, 05:28:21 pm
I'm looking forward to all the racists losing this election especially when they are so sure of victory.
23  Election Archive / 2012 Elections / Re: Who are you voting for? on: November 04, 2012, 07:03:00 am
Obama. I agree with him on Healthcare and foreign policy, and Romney has no actual plans for America, or any integrity.
24  Election Archive / 2012 Elections / Re: Preliminary "Why did Romney lose?' poll on: November 03, 2012, 03:26:24 pm
If it's close and OH is the decider, than his remarks on jobs/bailout could be considered the deciding factor. Overall, it's due to his out of touch personality, and lack of integrity in regards to his positions.
25  Election Archive / 2012 Elections / Re: Obama will get 303 electoral votes on: November 03, 2012, 10:48:46 am
Don't have it backwards, sorry. Out of the swing states, Romney will win: Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado

If Obama wins the rest of the swing states: New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin that will put him at 281 EVs

If Romney also picks up New Hampshire, Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania (not likely), he would have 315 EVs.

If Obama wins, he won't have more than 281 EVs. If he does win, more likely 271 or 277 EVs.

Romney has a better chance at a higher ceiling than Obama. If PA breaks for Romney, we then probably would also win some of the other "Obama" states he carried in 2008.



Excuse me, when did CO & VA become locks for Romney? That's right, never.
