2008 Predictions... just for the hell of it.

[Rob]

Bayh/Henry vs. Sanford/Santorum:



Bayh wins 291-247, but the switch of a few close states- New Mexico, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania- would give Sanford the victory.

[Rob]

I agree, but Bayh gets Nevada, too, and Indiana is darker. New Hampshire would be darn close.

I would have given Bayh Nevada, but I think Sanford's libertarian views would sell well as opposed to Bayh's populism.

 As for Indiana, no matter how popular Bayh is there, the Republicans probably will automatically have 49 percent of the presidential vote locked up. That means Bayh will have very little room for error.

[Rob]

Bob, you seem fairly moderate.  Who do you vote for if your prediction comes true, Bayh/Henry or Sanford/Santorum?

That's a toughie. I haven't figured that out myself, actually.

I'd add, though, that right now I'm leaning toward Bayh, just because a change of parties is generally a good thing.

[Rob]

I haven't got a prediction (yet), but it would be a real shame if the Republicans got Minnesota in '08.  The vote in 2004 was alarmingly close (it was close in 2000 too, but that's Nader's fault).  I'll admit that some blue states are liabilities, like Michigan and Wisconsin.  But I'd like to see Minnesota vote Democratic a few more times around.

Minnesota seems solidly Democratic. I don't mean that it's heavily Democratic, because it's not; but it always ends up voting for the Democrat, even if by small margins. I don't think MN will go Republican any time soon.

[Rob]

Bredesen/Bayh vs. McCain/Frist:



Bredesen wins 287-251 in the electoral college, and 50-49 in the popular vote. This is assuming no liberal third party.

[Rob]

Secular Politico,

I don't like him, but I would consider voting for Santorum just to piss people like you off.

[Rob]

Oh, I think you are coming off as very angry Bob. Either that or you use profanities for no particular reason. 

Being the pathetic little creature you are, I could well believe the latter scenario to be true but no I think my "drivel" has more than succeeded in causing you to have a temper tantrum. 

Come on now, be honest eh! LOL

Come on, admit it- you're a troll from DU! LOL

[Rob]

On a slightly different note, I think most would agree that anyone who uses derogatory terms such as “fag” are fairly big TROLLS who deserve to be treated with the utmost contempt   

Er... no. The only troll here is you.

Er...no. There are no trolls here. Just some people who still need to work on their communication skills. Three of them.

Lewis, this guy is clearly trolling.

[Rob]

I also think Bob needs to work on his anger issues R.P.

Can be very self destructive! 

Lewis, this guy is clearly trolling.

I rest my case.

[Rob]

I've read some stupid things here before, but I think your comments take the cake for sheer idiocy. Have a prize!

[Rob]

Oh no, you are sadly mistaken. I'm the one winding you up! LOL LOL

BTW, what line of work are you in? Male prostitution? LOL

[Rob]

Can we get back to the topic..

If "Mr. Angry" otherwise known as Secular Politico stops posting here! LOL

[Rob]

It’s really sad, even by your pitiful standards, when you have to rob other people’s lines. Though hardly surprising going on your past diatribes and lack of originality. As regards your future “contributions” there can be only one response – YAWN!! (and maybe even the hint of a chuckle!)   

It's called "irony"... not that I would expect you to know the meaning of that word! LOL

[Rob]

Brian, on my part it's sarcasm. Sadly, he's being serious.

[Rob]

I guess we scared off Transgendered Politico for good.

I certainly hope so!
