Opinion of the preceding poster's first post

[King]

Be nice and quote your first post.

I was just reading an article about some trouble at the DNC about Kerry. Some are saying that Kerry might be a losing candidate in 2004 after Gallup and USA Today polls still show Bush ahead after all the problems in Iraq and on the home front. There is even talk of an "uprise" at the Boston convention trying to get Kerry out and Edwards or Dean in.

an interesting post, actually.

has to do with this thread.

Jim Jeffords v. Zell Miller?

(skip) actually, blue was the avatar of each person who had already posted in that thread.

My support lies with, in this order,

Gore
Obama
Richardson

Still true, except switching Richardson for Obama

Weird for a first post, but I'm in no position to talk:

I'm glad you voted for Mr. Sarkozy.

Here's mine:

It'll be Hillary. Think of it, she has the household name, and all the politically pain-free press in the world. And ever since Howard Dean got the DNC chair, she's been running to the moderate vote. When she runs, the Dems will probably beat to death all the good things that happened under the Clinton administration, like the really good economy. But that'll also open the door for us Republicans to make the 2004 mudslinging campaign look like Sesame Street.

Wohoo! My first post!

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Its an ok first post.

[MasterJedi]

Too random of a map, doesn't show what's to come though.

Here's mine:

Well I'll be too young to vote when the election comes around (17) but I'll get most of my family and neighbors to vote for Bush!

He has to win for the country to continue down the right course and to win the war on terrorism.

We all need to ask the question, who does UBL want to win the election?

[7,052,770]

Pretty much a direct mirror of my attitude at the time.


My first post reflects something that I still have a chip on my shoulder about:

Unforuntaly, the election is Nov. 2.
I turn 18 on Nov. 14!!

NO!!!!!!!!!

[NDN]

Should have used spell check.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

You want people to pay for $12,000 for their ring finger! (If they've accidentally sawn it off or cut it for that matter)

Now on to my first post on the Atlas Forum.

I like this idea! Infact on an alternative history website i'm writing that LBJ is dumped from the '64 Democratic ticket. Will LBJ challenge JFK for the nomination?

[Tender Branson]

You have too much leisure time But a good idea

I THINK Hillary will win the nomination because of her base and money, but i HOPE Mark Warner will do so.

[SPC]

You have really underestimated Hillary.

This is my map of the swing states for 2008 based on what happened in the llast three elections'

[YRABNNRM]

Too kind to the GOP.

Hello everyone, I have lurked these boards for awhile and registered just for this thread. Now these candidates are assuming theres a Bush Vs. Dean in 2004 with Bush winning.

REPUBLICAN
Bill Frist
George Pataki
Condi Rice
Rudolph Giuliani(Only if Pataki doesnt run)

I think theres a slight chance John McCain will run, depending on his health and other candidates running.

DEMOCRAT
Hillary Clinton(If she isn't defeated by anyone for her Senate seat)
Al Gore
John Edwards
Wesley Clark(Depending on Hillary Clintons status)

Of course there will be more, these are just the ones that I see or are obvious.

[bgwah]

Your guesses for the Republican Party are downright hilarious! At least in hindsight. While Giuliani was obviously a good pick, I cannot help but chuckle at Frist and Pataki. And "maybe" McCain? Haha, that man wants to be President sooo badly. Condi Rice was mentioned a lot but I don't think anybody was ever serious.

Your guesses for the Democratic Party were actually pretty good, though the possibility of Hillary Clinton losing her seat in the Senate is amusing.

As for my first post, it no longer exists. It was a post in the Atlas section that I made in December 2003. The following is my oldest existing post and may be my second post - I don't know.

Washington has voted democrat for the past 4 presidential elections and the past 5 governor elections. We also have 2 democratic senators.

Washington is not a swing state.

[Smash255]

Very accurate


my first post May 15th 2004

Nassau county New York (Long Island)

Gore   57.9%   341,610   
 
Bush   38.5%   226,954   
 
Nader   2.5%   14,780   
 
Other   1.1%   6,363

Hmmm.  I wonder who will win this time....

[DWPerry]

reposting facts, I like facts.

If the 22nd Amendment were repealed and it were John McCain vs Bill Clinton; I think we would see 1992 all over again, a somewhat-conservative "3rd" Party candidate would take 20% of the vote and the winning candidate recieves 40%, runner-up 35% & multiple other candidates split the remaining 5%
Heck the "3rd" party could take a couple States, depending on how dynamic he is.

[Smash255]

don't think the third party would do as well as you think in that case, Clinton would still win, but it would be more like 96 than 92.

Good prediction of NY going Democratic.

This is my map of the swing states for 2008 based on what happened in the llast three elections'

[nclib]

Pretty accurate if a Republican wins in '08, though somewhat off if a Dem wins in '08, as I would predict.

My oldest post that's still around:

Exactly. The religious right has appealed to conservative rural southerners, but has made the Northeast and other urban areas a Democratic stronghold. As Clinton handily won the '92 election, the top two states in per capita income (CT and NJ) were only won by 6% and 2% respectively. Gore, in a 50-50 race, won them by 16% and 17%.

[King]

Definitely true.

Looking at the polling history of this race it appears that Barkley was at 3% only one month ago and now he's near 20.  Why have voters become so anti-Coleman and Franken?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Because Coleman & Franken both suck.

     Here's mine:

     McCain can definitely still win. It's just not likely.

     Needless to say, the battle will probably be won & lost out West. Missouri, Ohio, & Virginia are all in danger of flipping, but McCain would be foolish to concentrate there.

     Unless something drastic happens, he will need to work hard to hold Colorado, Nevada, & New Mexico. But if he doesn't, then he faces an even more difficult uphill battle, needing Michigan or Pennsylvania.

[King]

Did you run the McCain campaign?  You pretty much predicted his gameplan for the month of October.

[dead0man]

Because everybody realized how big of asshats they both were.  Good first post though.

I call shenanigans on the poll.  49% of Americans know who Kucinich is enough to know they wont vote for him?  Bull Fudge.

I called shenanigans in my first post...funny.
