To be fair, the Maine Republican Party has had an ambiguous relationship with reality for some time now.

Oh, wow. They even manage to tie in unrelated political comments that she made on DailyKos almost eight years ago!

Take note of that, you youngins amassing thousands of posts here that want to run for office someday. I assure you, unless you're as secretive about your identity as, like, Mikado, your opponents will probably connect it to you. (And you can't just delete it either because caches are totally a thing!)

On the other hand, it's going to become so common that it will affect almost anyone running for office. Although does Facebook cache stuff? I don't think they do. That will help a lot.

Kind of unfair.  I hope she makes her saving throw.

The people here will be saved when Dave finally pulls the plug on the forum to save server money for the rest of the site one day (no one's going to go through archive.org and navigating through dozens of missing pages to try to find a quote they don't even know exists).

Yeah, I think President Snowstalker or whoever will catch a break when Dave decides to get rid of the old shame that is the forum part of the Atlas in 2017, removing all the pony posts from the internet forever.

Facebook's another story, though.

Bad taste in MMORPGs?

That is a question for the electorate in the district to decide.

Are we not allowed to have opinions on whether or not it's completely and totally stupid?

My point is simply that the electorate does have a right to judge whether, or not, playing WoW is in fact "completely and totally stupid." If his attacks resonates he has furthered his cause. If it doesn't, he hasn't. The voters can decide.

I think that everyone is aware that voters have the right to decide based on whatever ridiculous grounds they choose to, and I'm not sure why you feel the need to point that out in a thread where no one is denying that -- just judging their rationality for doing so in certain ways.

Actually, archive.org does a rotten job of archiving SMF forums. Because of the way that it crawls the web, it generally does not get any further than the first page of multipage threads.

The Warrior of Warcraft won going away, 52.78% to 47.22% with all precints in that district reporting.  The Democrats gained majorities in both houses of the Maine Legislature, pretty solidly it looks like, at least in the House.
