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

i mean u can but it prob wont help

this is only the 19th most stupid conversation ever on the primary thread.

also who the fuck cares this is the internet

this is the most important conversation ever in the history of the age of obama

let's talk about gwen ifill's hair

how can we even gauge how stupid it is, 19th or otherwise, if it is so stupid?

McCain's campaign is all about keeping the Republican base and getting every vote Bush got in 2004. That is about as good as they can do this election year. All the 'stupid' things McCain's surrogates say sound different to those voters than to us.

It is also good to recall that Bush received more votes than any candidate had ever received up to that time, even though his margin of victory was not especially large. So, keeping that number of votes will put them into respectable territory.

The last part of their strategy will be pure Rove as well: limiting the total number of voters, especially in urban areas, by any means, fair or foul. If some method can be found to keep turnout low in big cities, they stand a chance.

I am a bit surprised that the Obama campaign has not tried harder to tap into the MASSIVE voter anger about the Wall Street bailout package. This issue is definitely a huge groundswell that could be harnassed better by his campaign. Although, a straight-ahead flaying of the bankers and bond traders would spook the markets something fierce, my estimate is that the markets are going into the tank, regardless.

will Gwen Ifill straighten her hair for tonight?

her hair's like, feathered, and as far as i'm aware has not changed in years and years

so we'll have a feathered moderator, a tatooed pitbull, and a farting pregaffer.

He has mentioned all this, as recently as yesterday, but I think he's playing his cards close to his chest until the bailout bill politics have some more shape. I am enjoying seeing a politician with some circumspection, for once. The shoot from the hip impulses of Bush and McCain have served them SO well.

wait now i'm getting confused, a pitbull with lipstick, or a pitbull with tatoos?

I swear when I first read this I thought it said "A pitbull with tacos" and I was like "huh?"

getting every vote Bush got in 2004

good luck with that

This is the closest I could get to a GIS of "taco pitbull":

There's also a pretty horrifying picture of a pitbull that lost a fite with a porcupine.

how can we even gauge how stupid it is, 19th or otherwise, if it is so stupid?

i keep track of it on a spreadheet, according to various signals and signs. i also factor in the poster's posting history, etc.

how is tacocat a palindrome

woah! tacocat is a palindrome!

L O L

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction

thx for playing

suggest ban

Fcuk a Sarah Palin, anyway. She's a lame diostraction whom I have decided not to hate anymore because it's like being mean to a special needs kid. The culture war base of the party are idiots fired by resentment and envy who could be led by a couple of pieces of tinsel anywhere their masters wish. The real core issue that the moderately intelligent McCain supporters bring up is his experience. Time and again and with his choice of a VP candidate, he showed that while he may have plenty of that, he's woefully lacking in basic judgment.

good luck with that

^^^ not saying they will, but it is the only pond they're fishng in. This election, more than 2006, is going to change the landscape. I expect some highly punitive voting patterns to show up against most incumbents, but Republicans in particular.

i love that, "according to various signals and signs". xposts

hands up if you're not voting

i am voting, ny finally fixed my registration after months of me asking them to so now i can vote ^_^

pointlessly voting in a blue state it rocks

Vote the whole ballot down to the end and it becomes much less pointless.

god i hate serious people

^^^ this is an entertainingly pointless political "scandal" story but look at spongebob square boob!! this lady is so upsetting!

(bares chest) shoot if you must this old grey geezer, but spare the lols, he said.

haha i only come onto this thread for the gwen.jpgs to take a break from the never-ending political discussions and arguments and serious business that is all of the rest of my time, sorry. i am ruining the discourse.

oh wait i thought "tacocat is a palindrome" was supposed to be a palindrome and didn't look closer

YAAAAAAOOOOOOWWWWWW

McCain leaves Michigan

xxp Milhouse is not a meme...

"McCain Pulling Out of Michigan; Michigan Will Just Finish Up Quietly On Its Own"

I'm so happy!

Gwen Ifill must be very very happy with all the publicity her book is getting.
