Recent polls showing Obama losing in Maine CD-2, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and in serious trouble in Oregon, Georgia and Michigan

If Obama wins tonight, he can turn the tide

If he makes a draw, he can stop the bleeding but still lose badly in two weeks

If he wins, suddenly Arizona is in play

This guy is rapidly becoming my new favorite poster:

Intrade's not looking great tonight, probably because of today's polls.

Obama is currently below 55%. 

This was explained already in another thread.

You don't understand.  Someone is selling Obama.  His numbers are dropping faster than Romney's are gaining.

You seem like a man who knows what he's talking about. So come straight with me - is there ANY chance Obama wins this election? Or should I just give up?

Bushie discovers presidential polls.

This post is art:

This is a new phenomenon that is being floated around by experts.

We all know what coatails are. For example, Obama coattails in Connecticut might propel Murphy to victory. Or Romney coattails in North Dakota might propel Berg to victory.

But how about mega coattails? The theory is that there is a such a huge margin in a state that it actually leaks over into neighboring states

For example, Romney is going to win Utah by so much that it harms Obama in Nevada and Colorado.

They say mega coattails from Illinois is what gave Obama Indiana in 2008.

Should Obama campaign in Salt Lake City? Obviously he won't win the state but if he can get the margin down in Utah, there will just be coattails in Utah and not mega coattails

That remark about Richard Nixon, well that's appropriate considering they endorsed Barack Obama in '08, or I forgot it was cool for them to endorse Obama, but since you opened up that can of worms, yeah Nixon got nailed over Watergate, well then how do you explain Obama's behavior over Benghazi, the stone-walling that is occurring is truly epic on a Nixonesque scale; shouldn't have brought up Nixon, now it's time to draw comparisons between the lies that Obama is spinning over Benghazi, where his behavior needlessly cost the lives of 4 American; I don't recall Watergate "cost" any lives, and please don't bother making comparisons to Vietnam or Iraq, they were wars and there is going to be the sad but inevitable loss of lives; Benghazi was not a war zone, but became one, because of Obama's criminal inaction and the subsequent lying, reached truly Watergate proportions. 

That is one sentence.

Kaine pulling ahead is largely in part thanks to Manchin and the mega coattails he is producing next door in West Virginia

Sage advice for some of our younger forumers who may be new to the internet:

One of the basic rules of the internet is to judge a person based on their sig. Since your sig is stupid and wrong, that means you as a person are stupid and wrong.

"Oh my God, I love your strategy! Where'd you get it?"
"It was McCain's, in '08."
"Vintage, so adorable"

That's nice but I think it would be less close than that.  NV/CO aren't going to some uncle Tomás Cuban.

Christie would be a fine sacrificial lamb against Clinton. He'll probably call her "toots" or "sweetie" in the debates.

Jindal could never be the nominee:

Because Jindal is Non-Caucasian? That's the obebo that we all know and love...

No, because Jindal is not the appropriate kind of non-caucasian.  The diabolical party will dredge up an Uncle Tomás, not an Uncle Taj.

I sometimes wonder if this moderator team is even trying to get girls.

I had no idea there's HS education in North Dakota.

The denouement in this thread is hilarious:

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I told my family about this thread

The youth are like that - stupidly don't realize that they too will soon get old and need all the same things their elders need, such as prostitutes, bedpans, toupees etc.

Mr & Mrs Republic?

I thought you are gay ?

[Lief 🗽]

Yes, even though I don't for any of the British posters (which is just as well, since I doubt any of them talk that way anyway.)

pretty much. i read all of al's posts as someone doing a bad alan moore impression.

Ban Lief for trolling. Now.

and people seriously argue that opebo isn't our best poster.

Actually for the record I kind of did observe Lent last year, I went through an activity packet my church gave out. They just called it "Leap of Faith 2012" instead of "Lent", because Lent is too mainstream.

It would appear that Bushie has resigned himself to the predictable series finale: a fatal heart-attack at 35.

We have to wait 5  years?  Ugh.

What if George W. had not pursued a career in politics and instead chose to go to art school and became famous for his nude self-portraits?

I will stick my tongue into both holes and lick it good
