How about this thread?

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=173436.0

While I got the details of how we'd get here a little wrong, it looks like I got the timing pretty much spot on, or at least better than either Harry or Mitty.

Hey now, the thread asked for the 2016 map, and I'm very likely to have gotten all 50 states right on my map.

Al's thread about Morales:

Hmmm, a government of impoverished, uneducated, armed Leftist cokeheads.  Sounds like a grand idea.

There's going to be "trouble" methinks...

In retrospect, we can say that the sumbitch was re-elected in 2009 with 65% of the popular vote and just yesterday, he was elected to a third term!  Moreover, his Movement for Socialism party also won a two-thirds majority in both houses of the Bolivian congress.  They haven't wrecked the economy, and they have shown that his brand of social reforms work, at least in Bolivia.

Like this GEM you posted in the other thread:

I don't think that will be the case in Cali since the unions basically own Jerry Brown. Therefore I would have to say that California will eventually default and Brown will ether be defeated in 2014, primaried, or forced to retire due to unpopularity.

hahah love it

On Romney being in the lead on Intrade to win the 2012 GOP nomination:

My guess is Huck and T-Paw continue their rise and Romney falls to third by spring.  I don't get why Romney is first.  Anyone think he has a real shot at winning the nomination?  How can he get past the same issues he had last time?  People see him as a phony and flip-flopper and not conservative enough.  Republicans will nominate a more conservative candidate this time around.

[Mr. Morden]

On the same topic….in a thread on an early 2012 GOP nomination poll (taken in late 2008), which showed Romney leading with 33%:

I bet Romney takes it. The GOP has thing for people who lost primaries in the past, unlike us Democrats.

33% is probably Romney's ceiling, lol.  it's all could could muster this time around despite having a monopoly on the money.

I have heard good things about Obama Baraka, but I know relatively little about him other than that he is running for Senator from Illinois.  He is half white and half African (as opposed to African-American), so he doesn't quite fit the "minority" mold, but I guess he would pass under the "one drop" rule that many people have unfortunately adopted from the old southern bigots.

Hahaha this one is always great.

The dazzleman is a fine gentleman to be sure.  Miss him here but he's not ever coming back.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I guarantee that if a new blue avatar poster started posting the same crap dazzleman always did about liberals being anti-American they'd be written off as a troll.

2004 was fun times

[Mr. Morden]

Barak Obama?  What sort of ethnic background?  I'm guessing Arab, possibly Muslim?

He is a Muslim afro american

The name Barack Obama sounds like some neo-African name to me, but not Islamic.
I guess if his father really is an African immigrant, that shouldn't really be a problem. But I can't see a namechanging, Black Pride, 70s person elected to the Senate. I just can't picture it. I know Kweisi Mfume and Chaka Fattah made it to the House, but that's something else. Maybe with DC statehood, but not now.

On Palin:

McCain would do well to pick her.  Extremely excellent choice.  Sharp, well spoken, unbelievably popular, attractive candidate.  Government reformer know for her ethics reforms.  Downside.  None that I can see.  But, but she's only had two years as a governor.  Not experienced enough.  Uh, Barack, is that really where you want to try and go?

Obama/Edwards: McCain would have to devote at least 10 minutes of every stump speech to explaining who Sarah Palin is.

Well, let me be the first Republican to make a sexist comment, since I didn't participate (deliberately) in that "other" thread. I would prefer that she serve as my mistress.

[Mr. Morden]

No one wants to comment on Torie's mistress?

[Lief 🗽]

Haha, "straight" Torie was a classic Atlas character.
