Re: 2012 Elections in 3-D!

Moving onto the primaries, I'm hoping for a big win out of my boy Rick Sanitarium. Get rid of Gingrich and fight to live onto the Louisiana primary (March 24th) which he should do well in. Santorum needs to keep this going until the end of May, when Texas votes with the second largest share of delegates. April isn't looking friendly for him except for PA but after that he has Indiana, NC, W Virginia, Nebraska, Ark, Kentucky and then Texas. This will force Mittens to go into the convention a broken man having lost the most primaries of any nominee since Ford in '76 most likely, and needing California of all places to make his stand.

Agreed.

But WHY don't people care for Obama? Because he's a Muslim... ;)

Aren't Mississippi and Alabama about 30% black? That means unless southern blacks have suddenly become anti-Obama and anti-miscegenation*, the percentage of whites giving the derp answers to Q22 and Q24 are about 50% higher.

(Q23 in unaffected, since fundy ignorance of science is color-blind)

* given the white people they see everyday, I would not blame them

They were interviewing Republicans only for the most part. It doesn't appear to be listed, but I'd be shocked if they have double digits in blacks in the poll.

He won't even get PA. That state ran him out on a rail as governor.

I think R-money is finally ready to limp across the finish line at this point. He's close enough with the math that the GOP can start playing the "inevitable" card, and you know the Very Important GOP People want this clown show over with. (Unless they're trying to rope-a-dope the Dems or give Romney the New Coke treatment like I mentioned a while ago.)

The only thing that stops him is if Gingrich decides to drop out and throws his delegates to Frothy as a final stab. THEN things get interesting.

Does the GOP believe in math? They don't believe in science...

Michael Steele, who may actually top Terry McAuliffe as the worst major party chairman in modern political history, saw Obama-Hillary and thought "ooo -- that must be why the Dems got good turnout in 2008. I mean, it couldn't be anything else", so the RNC retooled their rules to make this happen. This was on purpose.

They just didn't know it would happen with this gang of thieves, thugs, and thickies. So now they have the worst of both worlds: a terrible but inevitable nominee the base hates, and a nomination process that showed off their very worst attributes and drove everybody's negatives into the stratosphere.
 
Re: 2012 Elections in 3-D!

2008 was a big anomaly in that a long drawn out primary actually helped a candidate, but look at the difference. Obama used that contest to set up shop in essentually all 50 states much earlier than he probably would have had he clinched earlier. The Dems were signing up new voters, opening campaign offices, etc. For the GOP in 2012, Romney is swooping in with Super PAC money which is running negative ads against opponents and then they're on to the next state. As I don't believe Super PAC's can set up campaign offices given the (wink wink) no coordination rule, Romney isn't building an infrastructure in these key states. I read that Obama already has 5 campaign offices set up in VA to Romney's one or none because he was only facing Paul. Obama is also up and running in Ohio and Michigan. Its also no coincidence that Labor is concentrating on GOTV instead of advertising. Obama has plenty of money but boots on the ground is vital and something The Mittster has yet to invest in for some reason.

WaPo has an article today (not sure if it's behind a paywall) that even with the millionaire/billionaire contributions the GOP fundraising this cycle is terrible.

In more immediate election news, 538 demonstrates that polling in the Deep South has persistent problems, so nobody really knows how those states are going today.

Whaddaya know? It's hard to fund a huge, nationwide organization if you only try to get money out of millionaires and billionaires. Who would have thought that....? ;)

This. And I'm enjoying every minute of it.
 
Re: 2012 Elections in 3-D!

The Nasdaq is up 150% and the Dow has almost doubled since the last GOP administration. Looks like the economy is heading in the right direction. Time to hang your hat on gas prices I guess.
 
Re: 2012 Elections in 3-D!

CNN just aired a shot of an Alabama polling station using prison labor to handle the ballots. I shiat you not.

I only watch the news, or Fox News for my election coverage, because I want to hear them *****ing about gas prices and Obama. :mad:

Oh and global warming being fake.

I seriously would rejoice over the genocide of everyone of these ****heads and the sheeple who support them.
 
Re: 2012 Elections in 3-D!

ALRIGHT RICK SANITARIUM!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION BROTHA!

My thoughts on tonight:

1) Bad, bad night for The Mittster. Win one state and he was home free, or prop up Newtie and it would have blunted Santorum's momentum. One of his flaks is on TV making an idiot out of himself trying to explain away this one. I think the writing was on the wall when he decided to watch results from NYC instead of down South. Once again, despite a 4 to 1 spending advantage and a supposed top notch organization, he's on the short end of the stick vs a D list of opponents.

2) Turnout is again in the toilet. While someone might say "who cares, the GOP nominee will win these states by 30 points" this is a continuing trend. Clearly these candidates aren't inspiring people and that's going to matter in the swing states.

3) Lastly, its high time the media once again follows my brilliant commentary ;) and asks this question: will hard core Evangelics come out for Romney in the general election? I say not all of them. Too much groupthink is going around the idea that hatred for Obama will drive GOP turnout. I counter with this - what would happen if a Scientologist or a Buddhist was the GOP nominee? Would hard core Christians come out in their usual #s? Probably not, and one has to wonder if Romney's religion is going to lose him a critical 2-3% points in the Floridas and Virginias of the country as these people vote for Senate and the House but skip the Prez race.
 
Re: 2012 Elections in 3-D!

Who's for a brokered convention? The nominee could be someone who has missed this entire primary marathon.

Rosie Ruiz??
