Maybe? There is more doubt in Atomic Theory than there is that Pio is a friggin troll. He outlasted his schtick's usefulness about 6 months ago :D

And yet, yapping aside, no rain. Mother nature must be racist.

In addition to ramming God down the throats of delegates who were, at a minimum, ambiguous about it, convention managers have decided to inflict Cardinal Dolan on those delegates after all. But still, no rain. Maybe tomorrow.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A thunderstorm popped up over the site of the Democratic National Convention about seven hours before President Barack Obama gives his acceptance speech.

Heavy rain started around 3:15 p.m. Thursday, and the National Weather Service issued a lightning advisory for the Charlotte airport.

Campaign officials had decided earlier in the week to move Obama’s speech indoors because of the chance of rain.

The afternoon downpour soaked people outside of Bank of America Stadium, where Obama was originally supposed to speak. Instead, he’ll deliver the address at the smaller Time Warner Cable Arena.

Anyone find it amusing that the hurricane affected both conventions?

I wonder honestly, if I buy a product with govt money, why is that money not the same as if I buy the same product with my own money. can someone enlighten me?

Because the government borrowed* that money before it gave it to you and so it has to be paid back with interest. If you used your own money then you did not incur any debt on behalf of the rest of us.




* or with Printing Press Ben running the Fed, they just printed more of it; devaluing purchasing power for everyone, which again does not happen when you use your own money.

Technically, you are correct. The convention clearly voted "nay" three times (watch the video yourself) on a motion to include the word "God" once in their platform. The chair proclaimed that the 'aye' vote carried, anyway. So technically they were booing a fraudulent vote count.




PS one of the television cameras had a picture of the teleprompter telling the chair what to say for the result of the vote, which suggests that the actual vote may not have mattered; the result was pre-determined.

Saw a decent analysis in Politico that dovetailed somewhat with what Rove has been saying. In the article an alleged private conversation with Mittens operatives revealed that they expected to have Florida in the bag by now and are doing much worse in Ohio. Rove has a 3,2,1 strategy which is for Romney to first put FL, VA, and NC out of play before moving onto Ohio and I forget the other one (maybe MI). Under that scenario he'd only have to win one of the remaining swing states of CO, NV, etc to win the election.

Problem is, he has none of these states nailed down yet, even NC where he just launched a new ad buy.
 
Re: 2012 Presidential Election Part II -- Charlotte, a National Treasure or sede vaca

The 3-2-1 I remember was

Indiana (check), North Carolina (check), Virginia
Ohio, Florida
Pick any

As far as Virginia goes, does anyone else remember how Romney ran that primary on the cheap because he only faced Paul and left the state with one office? Got to think he's regretting that now.
 
Re: 2012 Presidential Election Part II -- Charlotte, a National Treasure or sede vaca

I can't believe Romney's campaign thought FL would be "in the bag" at any stage. It was always set up to be a battle of attrition.

I thing it's more likely that they believed (and still do) that they can use FL to leverage their money advantage. They can control the Dems' spending by pouring money in. If the Dems don't take the bait that's an enormous state to bank. If the Dems do, then the RNC and Romney can cream them in ad buys in the other battlegrounds.

True. Assuming you'd have Florida won in early September is Mark Penn level stupidity.
