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

Also, I think the week point of Rove's and the evangelicals' strategy is that it tends to make California, a state that voted for Republican presidential candidates for a generation until '92, more solidly Democratic in terms of the EC. The eastern part of the state may be soldily 'red' but the move away from centrist Republicans has meant that there are lots of them who will vote for a moderate Democrat over a wing-nut flat-earther here.

(xpost)You don't have a job to go to?

i have a lot of vacation days that i don't ever use.

Good for you, Matt.

Gotchya. I'm going to work. Nothing's more fun than finding out that some of my co-workers are nutjobs (real quote from 2004: "You do know that if Kerry wins the entire military is just going to quit. They won't serve under that guy.")

Sadly that doofus is gone now.

"sadly"

I'm voting the weekend after next. I can't wait till election day.

I'm sure Alex would have been a real source of solace to the doofus on Nov 5.

wtf

that is some serious "not taking anything for granted" shit

I hope that doesn't backfire... He should be like, "I'm going to step aside, and give you a commercial-free episode of CSI!"

already covered upthread (well, someone linked it and no one responded)

More detail: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i69c4daba6cf2b7e55aaa2e183edee52d

Not necessarily "not taking anything for granted":

"Obama's theme is not just change but unity, so he's appealing to the whole nation rather than a handful of tossup states," Sabato said. "He wants to win the popular vote by a good margin, which will enable him to govern."

And he's got the cash for it, Sabato said.

"This is another indication, if there needs to be any more, that Barack Obama's got more money than (available) television time to buy," said Evan Tracey, COO of the Campaign Media Analysis Group in Arlington, Va.

lol drunk on campaign contributions - cant keep that money!

The buy will push CBS comedy "The New Adventures of Old Christine" to 8:30 p.m. and pre-empt "Gary Unmarried." NBC typically airs the hourlong "Knight Rider" in the slot, and will likely throw in a comedy repeat at 8:30 p.m. The buy is being placed by Washington-based ad firm GMMB. Obama's ad will air on the night before the start of November sweep.

ahahah

Seriously, this is a way confident move from Obama

It is not Rove Excel spreadsheet smart. It is BADASS.

hes got to be thinking abt that senate super majority at this point

this'll serious piss off the new Knight Rider fan demographic! he's going to lose those three votes

He should be like, "I'm going to step aside, and give you a commercial-free episode of CSI!"

lolololol

"wow. news networks showing some angry ass fired up people at the mccain rally today."

Yeah, saw some older guy foaming at the mouth about "those hooligans". Also saw a brief snippet of a black McCain supporter that drove the 99% white crowd into joyous applause. My roommate said McCain gave him a hug, but I didn't see it.

lol these guys.

"you know who supports me? That one!"

well, mccain answered by saying "the man is right that people are angry" and then shifted uncomfortably to saying that he would work with anybody to fix the problems of the country, to very little applause.

i don't want to push the meme that it's not mccain's fault his campaign is so toxic or beyond his control. he's going all in. i think it's a number of things: i think he's had a dream of a huge centrist everybody-loves-me win for a long time, and that's out the window. i think he knows that this outpouring of base energy is due to loving palin and hating obama and nothing to do with him -- that's gotta sting. and, maybe somewhere, is the realization that even if he does pull this off he going to be very alone in washington in 09

his "I'll work with anybody" schtick is getting increasingly funny/uncomfortable the more readily apparent it becomes that uh, no one wants to work with him. Including his own party.

he going to be very alone in washington in 09

Welcome to Lieberman's world.
