[Gustaf]

No, of course not. Why would I care about what precincts voted for Obama or McCain?

It based on their personalities. yup, yup. *nods* I stay away from politics when socializing.

^^ This

I just meet a nice girl who voted for Kaczyński, but I don't care.

Yeah, a vast majority of my in-person friends are conservatives. Eg: my best friend is a hardcore Tory, another girl I know is anti-tax to the max, the girl I met yesterday is a Romney fan/closet Republican.

I like how Romney fan and closet Republican are essentially the same thing.

SCIENTIFIC SURVEY

It's important to note that so Kansas Republicans know not to trust the results.

Faith-based pollsters have this race much differently.

Huelskamp (R): 100%
Jilka (D): roasting in the bowels of hell with the rest of her baby-murdering ilk

MOE: +/- 5 Psalms

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I'm down to 3 full days left of freedom!!  As of 3:00, I'm sitting at 89 hours left.  I did time the drive this morning and leaving at 6:45, it took me 35 minutes to get there.  I got to the parking lot at 7:20.  So, that tells me since I want to be there at 7:30 each morning, to leave at 6:45 each morning and have those 10 "flex" minutes.  Really, I will have 40 cushion minutes up until 8:00, so I'll be just fine with the drive.  The traffic was getting heavy, but it wasn't all that bad.  Much better than it would have been a half hour to an hour later.

Traffic was getting heavy? I guess all 7 cars in the state go out early.

[Mr. Morden]

I thought Pawlenty was popular in Minnesota?

The sample size is 750 out of a state with a population of over 5 million, so there is a lot of room for error.

Ten thousand, ten million, at n=750, it doesn't really matter much.

750 isn't enough for Texas -- or California if it is close.

Is this related to the "approval rating +6" rule?

[Joe Republic]

I want someone who will learn their lesson and realize that what they tried to do didn't work and it's time to move on with life.

Agreed.  There's nothing worse than someone who keeps making the same mistakes, and doesn't learn from them.  I mean, look at the guy in this story:

Aren't you glad you're not him?

[King]

nah, I was born a dude

But when you are older you won't really be one so much anymore - like Torie.

In any case, I would believe that our resident homophobe is injecting himself with other men's precious fluids in secret...

[Kaine for Senate '18]

What Rasmussen may be doing is trying to get the Democrat Party and liberals to cite his polling showing improvement in order to discredit them.  When Obama falls again, he can point to how the Democrat Party and liberals were willing to cite his polls when he showed Obama improvement.

I will answer this question at 12 noon EDT which is exactly 46 minutes away!

[Ebowed]

No, it has not. Life experiences do that. Atlas is just a place to waste my time away.

Lucky us. 

[Хahar 🤔]

Oh snap!

Justin Bieber sucks.

No he doesn't.

You must be disappointed.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I demand more specific timescales for your morning routine.  Exactly how many minutes of the pre-dawn morning will you be devoting to "Bible study"?  Furthermore, which monastery are you a member of?

The dollar will collapse, Ron Paul will run, and Ron Paul will win.

The dollar will collapse, Ron Paul will run

Fixed.

And Johnson and Paul are linked. Whoever runs (most likely Johnson) will be the libertarian candidate.

No, my post already "fixed" your previous erroneous assertion. Ron Paul is more likely to run and to win than Gary Johnson. Johnson will support Paul.

no anti-Zionist could win the GOP nomination

Sorry, but you people aren't running the show anymore. John Thune will crash and burn as Ron Paul is carried to victory upon the tea party tidal wave.

I realize there's a rule against posting yourself here, but there's no better place to post this exchange from the IRC chat. It begins with a discussion of Axis Powers Hetalia and turns into something else.

19:51   Papen             Send me to America.
19:51   Papen             Oh, never mind, I'm a wanted man there.

IRC chats still exist?  I would have assumed they were weeded out in the 2006es.

[Хahar 🤔]

It's not like there's a stickied thread about that or anything.

[The Mikado]

I'm back on said chat right now and probably will be for another hour.

Last time I was in an IRC chat, one dude started trying to this private conversation with me "because he thought I was a really nice girl and wanted to get to know me haha" or something like that.

What's wrong with that?  I consider you to be a really nice girl, usually.
