2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

(that took like 5 seconds to verify btw)

gabb's right.

Funny thing is that Bob Dole received fewer popular votes, but had more states than Dukakis.

that was hasty wording, i meant greater percentage of the vote

Dukakis '88: 45.6%
Clinton '92: 43.0%

too many states like montana

also huge lolz at wikipedia's perot.jpg

ghost of christmas present vs ghost of christmas future vs ghost of christmas past '92

lol as of two days ago mccain hadnt read the paulson plan - it is THREE PAGES LONG

that was hasty wording, i meant greater percentage of the vote

you mean Clinton ran in a race with a third party candidate who got nearly 20% of the vote and only underperformed his predecessor by 3 points? Bush underperformed by 16.

Weird how you could walk across Alabama and never leave a county that didn't vote for Al Gore in 2000.

fyi, red-on-blue is much easier to read - you want blue=democrat-it-is-law-for-eternity versions, go here

or Kerry in 2004, and not really.

ok i will go ahead and point out that this makes no sense whatsoever

is that post even in English?

but ya, red = left everywhere else in the world

Clinton won the Electoral College, which is all that matters

OTMFM

motherfucker knows a thing or two about winning elections, even under fire, can squeeze votes from places where you wouldn't think to find 'em, how anybody feels about his presidency (generally bad) or his politics (generally worse) is completely immaterial, ppl need to check their emotions and get their eyes on the goddamn money once in a while. your terrible, horrible, very bad lobster of doom will deliver states to you. so stfu and get on fucking board.

"oh but I hate him!" fine, enjoy your mccain

i think u can figure it out jho

j0hn, you are correct about clinton's political smarts and skill. i think you are also a little blind to how deep his wells of anger/resentment can go, and how willing he has been throughout his career to play race from a number of angles.

its the red on blue part i was taking issue with - obv i have nothing against tortured language

CTRL + ALT + COMMAND + 8 on your Mac next time.

omg dude that is trippy

but aaaany way my point is THOSE MAPS ARE NEITHER RED ON BLUE OR BLUE ON RED

guys I noticed the other day this thread hasn't devolved into the usual ILX green party sniping the dems bullshit that is so exclusive to our merry club of commentary, can we think of when we want to get back to that oh wait! Good job high fives!

zippity doo dah john and tracer are hoe-saving the clintons again shit feels like march ayo who wants to go see be kind rewind with me

BKR was a pretty fun movie

i realized jack black was supposed to be playing a crazy guy after i saw it

the Dem vote by county has expanded and contracted against an underlying Republican majority, hence a rising and falling red (for Dem) tide on a blue (for GOP) beach (because it reads, visually, much better than blue on top of red). '92 was the high tide for Dems.

I would like to see this GE campaign "sweded" please

Isn't that what we are doing here?

maybe when john mccain is done fixin the economy he can come fix this dumb thread

whoa slow down there dr tufte

At first I thought you were talking about Bob Roberts.

this suspension is a stunt to draw attention away from something, yes? -- but what? my guess is the lucrative davis/fannie/freddie threeway. or the palin-couric interview.

palin/cindy mccain/couric three way

Funny thing is that Bob Dole received fewer popular votes, but had more states than Dukakis.

his base was the states where no one lives, which isn't very funny

MR QUE, I HATE YOU
