TPTTAA Poll - Nastiest election ever?

[Purple State]

I don't even understand half of the attacks at this point. Color me bemused.

Well, if you can't understand more than half the attacks, I believe the correct word is "confused."

Insightful, given that Merriam-Webster could have told you that "bemused" and "confused" mean the same thing.

"Is this real life?" (Oh and the answer is no, this is not real life, it's a game, which makes me wonder why personal vendettas are so common. So it goes.)

I would give so much money (like a buck via paypal) to see PS change his name to Bemused State for the day. (and to see MB keep his as such)

I did you one better.

It's annoying to have to explain jokes to people, but I'll err on the side of letting you figure it out for yourself.

Just... stop. Please. It pains me to see you suffer like this.

Lol indeed.

Here's a hint: Think about proportions.  (i.e. "more than half")

Okay, no more shovel for you. You've hit rock bottom and really need to stop digging man.

Both ending in 5 just sounds better. I'll have to go back in time on my fabulous time machine and have my mom delay my birth for a year.

This only seems nasty because June 2010 was a give away and October 2010 was between Fritz and Andrew, two extremely nice players both of whom just had fun with it.

We've been spoiled in recent elections. This is just a reversion to the mean (pun definitely intended).

I think it's worth noting that the early parts of elections are generally nasty as the early excitement can get overheated. So is the end of the election, when people are trying to edge in for those last voters on the fence. But it seems that from now until that end point things will be pretty congenial. At least I hope so.
