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?

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

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 27 September 2012 15:53 (thirteen years ago)

xp I actually just use a subscription (not my own, but whatever.)

I'm a little concerned about this potential libyagate thing, some hay to be made there possibly?

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

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 (thirteen years ago)

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.

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 ...)

o man schwarzenegger and pacino prank calls were some of the first things i ever downloaded, off of audiogalaxy forever ago. so weird to see it pop up like that.

balls, Friday, 28 September 2012 02:12 (thirteen years ago)

yeah i had a phase in college of listening to those constantly

some dude, Friday, 28 September 2012 02:19 (thirteen years ago)

romney and crying baby pics are v. v. lol

I wonder if anyone's sussed out Romney's cell phone number from that prank call clip...

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.

http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/02/oct-1-is-the-presidential-race-tightening-heading-into-the-debates/

it's weird bc the model is showing the highest % for obama since it started (now at 85.7%) - also nate is all about electoral ties right now even tho the model indicates they'll only happen a whopping 0.6% of the time???

Mordy, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 22:21 (thirteen years ago)

Oh snap, Ryan's got an unwanted videotape in his past, too

Raymond Cummings, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 22:27 (thirteen years ago)

it's in the interest of Nate's publisher to look for storylines other than "yep, this is all wrapped up" xp

electoral college tie where bam wins the popular vote but house picks romney = best hope for american gov't total collapse?

iatee, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 22:29 (thirteen years ago)

one of the things i like most about nate tho is that he generally is good at resisting nonsense storylines.

Mordy, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 22:30 (thirteen years ago)

imagine the other way around (were it possible) xp

mookieproof, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 22:30 (thirteen years ago)

Silver's not in the business of making up shit.

Norah Jones Protest Vote (Eazy), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 22:43 (thirteen years ago)

oh I don't think he's making anything up, it's just gotta be boring (and bad for pageviews) to make every update "yep, O is still winning by a lot!"

the physical impossibility of sb in the mind of someone fping (silby), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 22:44 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, he's got to get a post a day up, and there's not a lot of change most days, so a lot of them are going to be "Could _this_ happen? *massive nerd-out*... so, in conclusion, no"

Specifically the race tightening is about "maybe a little, but remember that the country-wide polls don't matter shit compared to the swing states".
