btw my data comes from here: http://www.pollster.com/

MO and IN just moved to the tossup category from lean McCain. And I think you did list MT since MO is not 3 electoral votes.

(I am not considering states tied unless they are actually tied in percentages, just for sake of saying where each state would go if those percentages held and the election was right now.)

i am the small cat (HI DERE), Thursday, 2 October 2008 20:56 (fifteen years ago) link

that was kind of the point of my post is that they are counting on a whole lot of ifs and it's getting worse for them each day

I know, I was just explicitly spelling it out (hence the "</gabbneb>")

A homeless thug now registered to vote comments: “They picked me up. They seen me walkin’ around. So day said, ‘You wanna vote?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll vote.’ (laughs) Day said, ‘We’ll take you anywhere you want.’ I said, ‘Dat’s cool’…If day say ’sign the ballot,’ just give ‘em and do exactly what they want you to do.’ I mean, hey, dis is America, you know?”

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 2 October 2008 22:51 (fifteen years ago) link

is it "day" or "they"? make up yr racist little mind

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 2 October 2008 22:51 (fifteen years ago) link

I guess this is kind of the same thing as how I feel about wingnuts.

rogermexico., Thursday, 2 October 2008 22:53 (fifteen years ago) link

Except more racist.

rogermexico., Thursday, 2 October 2008 22:54 (fifteen years ago) link

ireland speaks english (sort of) and has a very low tax rate for businesses who locate there. london has a very low tax rate on financiers so when obama says you need to be taxed more, think london. oil industry executives, dubai has no tax if you locate there and obama wants to institute special taxes. leave hollywood and microsoft execs and google execs and george soros to pay for all the thug thizzle a body can stand.

^^ lol at this comment

my mom says she's moving to the boonies of Ireland (verbatim) if Obama wins. Never mind she's never had a passport in her life nor has any documented work history since the eighties. I'm sure Ireland will be all "Begorrah! :-D" when my mom calls the embassy.

I should mention my mom is batshit crazy.

What's the debate thread?

+ New silentreader See Profile I'm a Fan of silentreader I'm a fan of this user permalink

I love the talent and intelligence of the Obama/Biden ticket, but nothing won me over more than how these two men treat their families. It is my firm belief that anyone who can hold their families in the proper priority, who can openly display love with one's wife and children as both Barack and Joe have displayed, who show respect to others despite fundamental differences is the right ticket to lead this country. I can say without a doubt that if they were republicans, I would still vote for them - for that reason. Their respect for life and humanity is evident in how they treat their families and I feel that they would both approach the awesome responsibility of the office of POTUS and VPOTUS with as much respect as they approach their roles as husbands and dads. I trust my family's future in their hands - because of how they treat their own. These are good, decent, smart, loving people and I hope that America rises to the occassion this November.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. famously said of Franklin Roosevelt that he had a "second-class intellect, but a first-class temperament." Obama has shown that he is a man of limited experience, questionable convictions, deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko) and an alarming lack of self- definition -- do you really know who he is and what he believes? Nonetheless, he's got both a first-class intellect and a first-class temperament. That will likely be enough to make him president.

Is that Krauthammer?

how the fuck are they still pushing this

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 3 October 2008 14:16 (fifteen years ago) link

No mention of last night's debate in his article. The debate = a wash.

caek, Friday, 3 October 2008 14:17 (fifteen years ago) link

It was filed before the debate.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 3 October 2008 14:19 (fifteen years ago) link

Well, at least I read it on the WaPo's site around 11 pm.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 3 October 2008 14:20 (fifteen years ago) link

wow hoops, i mean if you don't chalk his response up to not listening to the question he really sounds diabolical in that clip.

Fetchboy, Friday, 3 October 2008 14:33 (fifteen years ago) link

deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko)

i get why this line is pushed for propagand-ish purposes but i dont believe that conservative 'thinkers' are genuinely worried about any of these aside from Wright - they must realize how little Ayers and Rezko have actually been involved w/ Obama's worldview, right??

joe 40oz (deej), Friday, 3 October 2008 14:44 (fifteen years ago) link

They are not genuinely worried about any of them.

bnw, Friday, 3 October 2008 14:46 (fifteen years ago) link

i believe they genuinely find jeremiah wright's beliefs to be 'radical' and are genuinely concerned that behind obama's calm persona he secretly harbors some of those 'radical' beliefs, and i believe this genuinely concerns them.

if gwb had gone to david duke's church (NOT MAKING A CASE OF EQUIVALENCE HERE) then we would be rightly concerned, and i think GOPers probably see Wright's worldview to be as equally radical (no matter how ludicrous that is)
