I am beginning to become scared that Romney/Ryan will win. Can smart people please post here and say reassuring things to convince me that he won't?

Sept. 26: Could 2012 Be Like 2008?
By NATE SILVER
There’s no point in putting it gently: Mitt Romney had one of his worst polling days of the year on Wednesday.

oh god, i just now finally watched the joe scarborough "sweet jesus" thing, that is pretty fucking satisfying on some irrational and childish level, for me personally

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 27 September 2012 14:23 (eleven years ago) link

From Silver's blog post:

The “now-cast” estimates that Mr. Obama would have a 97.8 percent chance of winning an election held today. Further, it pegs his advantage at five and a half percentage points in the national popular vote.

lol @ Romney

They released some statement about how they're getting more digital money/subscriptions than ever so no.

it was kind of charming to see romney jr. prank call dad with one of those arnold schwarzenegger sound boards.

Philip Nunez, Thursday, 27 September 2012 22:35 (eleven years ago) link

lol youtube comment on the video: "This kind of symbolizes how he would run the country. He takes from the middle and adds to the top but when the top gets too heavy and there isn’t enough of the middle left to support the top, the entire thing collapses."

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 27 September 2012 22:36 (eleven years ago) link

I KNOW what Jenga is, thank you very much. You'll be saying I don't know what clocks are next. I meant what the hell was his little dance.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 27 September 2012 22:39 (eleven years ago) link

Clocks are big; machines are heavy.

Mitt isn't even pres yet and he's aged 10 years on the campaign trail (not least because he's been campaigning for 10 years, but still ...)

I wonder if his sons do this to him all the time. Like it was just Schwarzenegger this time, but last time he was speaking to Daniel Plainview about petroleum concerns.
