Comedy Goldmine VI: Now with no Gporter and Calcium-Fortified for Bone Health

Highlights:

- Obama +9 in North Carolina
- Obama leads in South Carolina, Arkansas, Texas
- Obama up 16 in New Mexico
- Obama leads in Arizona
- Serious Barrmentum
- Iowa: Safe McCain

First, if you look at the map, and read the data, Obama leads in Iowa (its NOT "Safe McCain" as you assert). 

Second, Zogby has spent years developing both techniques and data base for his interactive method, which given the problems with current polling, may be the future of survey research.
While he had absurd results in 2004. his current results are vastly improved.

Third, from other unpublished surveys I have seen, I suspect that the "undecided" category is likely to break favorably for McCain.

Fourth, his numbers for Nader seem to be right on the money (several published polls have, IMHO, greatly exaggerated the Nader vote).

Fifth, what most public polls are missing is the massive disgust with McCain (which shows up in the Zogby interactive poll as support for Barr).

Turns out that Hillary may have been the more liberal senator, contrary to what the netroots has told us over the past few months.

Well, I must say that this vote is a surprise. I'm not sure what the rationale behind Clinton voting more reasonably than Obama is. Hell, even McCain supported the fillibuster (by not showing up).

Of course anyone who believed that ranking of Obama as the most liberal Senator is seriously brain-damaged.

That's because Hillary Clinton has a track record of not selling out her values for political gain.

I want to a picture of Mike Naso, because I have no idea what this Republican stallion looks like.

If I may be more specific, I'd like to see fourteen to twenty-seven pictures of him petting a dog, standing with his family, sitting and watching Fox News, pretending to be a meteorologist, posing in front of a Dress Barn, holding a shotgun in front of a police car, and moshing at an emo show.

This thread backfired amusingly...

To some extent, yes. More than me, I'd hope.

But what's with your sudden obsession with him?

I'm not sure why, but I seem to have a tendency to develop an obsession with a specific topic at some point, carry on with it for a certain amount of time, and then almost instantly drop it. Then pick up a new topic a little later.

Wow! Someone deserves a cookie!

Since Gporter is not allowed, I found someone equally clueless:

Click for context:

May I please have your methodology?  How many people were surveyed?

Why did you call them pickaninnies in your original post?

I wasn't trying to be offensive.  I always refer to black children that way.

[Albus Dumbledore]

Classic.

Here you go!

[Albus Dumbledore]

Haha. It'd take forever to go through his entire post history.

Hot off the presses...

Only if he chooses Mitt Romney as his VP candidate.

I know you are being totally sarcastic.

What makes you think that?

Based on your previous caustic comments about Romney.  You have never had one nice thing to say about Romney, that I am aware of.

That's true; I try to avoid saying nice things about bad people.

However, you do say many nasty things about great people, like Romney.

[they don't love you like i love you]

I can see Obama pulling massive voters from the inner cities (NYC, LA, PHILLY, ST. LOUIS) and gaining a few Bush states, most likely Iowa and Colorado...but losing Ohio and Florida, thus the electoral college while winning the popular vote.

Why would he without also doing so in Akron, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, Youngstown, etc.?

Because that wouldn't provide Naso with masturbation material.

On the biggest threat to the US:

Some might say Iran.  Some might say China.  Some might say N. Korea.  Some might even say ourselves.  All of those are big threats, no doubt, but I've got my eye on a country we've had trouble with before--GERMANY.

The reason I say Germany is our biggest threat is due to the Euro.  France and Germany were in cahoots in creating the Euro.  They created the Euro to force all the European nations to come under one currency so the Germans and the French could "currency-gouge" the rest of Europe and force them to break loose of the grip of the Euro.  Plus, in my opinion, Germany did not learn its lesson from World War II and the United States failed to completely stabilize the country mainly because stupidly got ourselves into a Pacific theater with Japan. (Japan wasn't our biggest enemy in WW2, we made them our biggest enemy.)  If America had done things right like befriend Japan (they wanted to be our friend in the late 1930s), we may have been able to avoid Pearl Harbor.  Since Pearl Harbor happened our focus had to mainly shift out to the Pacific and thus the European theater ended a good 5 months before the Pacific theater.  We didn't treat the Germans with a whole lot of respect coming out WW2 and during the Cold War.  That's part of the reason they decided to initiate the Euro some 50 years after the suicide of Hitler.  I can very easily see another German attack on France in the coming years and I can see them linking arms with Italy again and plunge the world back into World War 3 in the next 10-15 years.

Iran's threat will diminish over time if we just stay out of the country.

China has too many laws against its own people to sustain their threat for 20-30 years, not too mention the pollution and the cigarette smoke is much worse than it is in America and that will eventually kill off a lot of the Chinese.

The North Korean threat is also diminishing.

I'll write more later...

That's a weird mix of the very perceptive and the downright strange.

[YRABNNRM]

Neutral though he does fit into my belief that all countries should be ruled by crude stereotypes.

The crude-stereotype-as-leader suffered setbacks with the losses of Vladimir Putin and Junichiro Koizumi.

I know, and soon Bush will be gone so there goes our West Texas American cowboy. The only way to redeem this is to somehow get the UK to elect Hugh Grant as PM.

Sunday 2am

A night-time blast of these flats. Why a night demolition? These craptacular flats overlook the main Glasgow-Edinburgh railway so they need to wait until main services finish

 

But surely they'll wake the dead who reside in the foreground of the picture?

Thats the plan. They then stalk the city during the night as a band of heroic city residents blockade themselves in nearby Queen Street Station and fight back. Depending on the vibe they are led by a muscled but 'vacationing' American who is in the city tracing his family roots/runaway daughter. Or by Simon Pegg. It then cuts to Edinburgh/London/Washington (with appropriate signs for the geographicaly challenged) and some military sub plot that is disappointing and goes no where. Then back to the action, our heroic band of heroes (two now dead - one hysterical whiny bitch that dies with much letting of blood and the other an egotistical d-ick who dies pathetically) who split in to two groups.

The most popular group goes into the city to fight (better lighting), the other group run about the Subway ripping off a few films along the way and two more people, whose names we never found out or cared about die out of sight at some unspecified point. They both meet at the river and find a boat and sail away without someone snuffing it at the end as the living dead suddenly find strength they have been lacking and go for one last attack. As the boat sails away, a 'bomb' or something is dropped on the city as a few zombies stare up and then BOOM.

Cue military subplot again we had forgetten about.

2 years later some people, excluding those who were there the first time return to the city to find something or other and there is a lot of sex and a villain and the whole adventure is really dull and campy.

When in fact, you're the German spy and I'm the French spy.

1972 what if? Nixon vs. Humphrey

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Yup god is a republican. He supports the murder of little kids by taking them off medicare. He needs a little extra help around heaven.

At least God's Own Party doesn't support murdering little kids before they are born!

Q:  Who does the term "God's Own Party" translate into Arabic?
A:  Hezbollah.

Firstly Welcome to the Forum .

I'm sure Bob Barr will gain some form of traction in New Hampshire, but he won't gain enough to cause New Hampshire to vote for Barack Obama. Barack Obama can and will defeat John McCain in New Hampshire, thus pickup her 4 Electoral College votes without the need for Barr to "steal" McCain voters.

Thank you for the welcome.

I saw one poll (Zogby) that has Barr at 10% in New Hampshire: http://www.zogby.com/50state/

Okay. Let's spell it out once more.
