FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Why, could this be a ... scare tactic?

No. I won't entertain such a thought.

No reputable news organization would make such a claim based on the anecdotal evidence of one man ... would they?

Drudge siren!

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

I'm not sure about that, but I do know that in some states the Libertarian is having a measurable effect. Before Richard Mourdock sailed down the River Rape, he was running only even with Democrat Joe Donnelly, and part of that was because a Libertarian candidate, Andrew Hornung (who has run frequently in Indiana), was grabbing 5-7 percent in polls.

It's a very, very, very, very outside chance that Mike Pence loses the state's gubernatorial race, but between Mourdock's comments and some good press for Libertarian candidate Rupert Boneham, he might be sweating a little bit. By the way, that's Rupert as in Rupert from Survivor. I haven't heard whether he would plan, as governor, to make all residents outwit, outplay and outsmart each other, and whether he would grant immunities from time to time.

"However, in late March of this year, a group of 49 former NASA scientists and astronauts joined a growing list of scientists who now publicly reject the global warming theory that says, with a high degree of certainty, man-made CO2 is a major cause of climate change. They all signed an open letter to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, criticizing the agency for its role in advocating this theory as proven science, while ignoring or neglecting empirical evidence contradicting the conventional view."

I know, I know - they are all just guys going out in their yards and licking their fingers, sticking it in the air and trying to figure out the temp........

Like I said - it is kookacracy to think that this is a man made problem

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD


Then there's your kookacracy that says, "what problem?"

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

I hope he is - then maybe the Republican party will wise the fuck up and stop trying to legislate morality and religion

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

No way, I don't believe it either.

It can't be true because the only people who are ever disenfranchised and/or cheated on election day are poor people in black neighborhoods.....

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Hahahahaha...Boneham.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

I think it will be like 49 pct. to 49 pct. with Obama winning the popular vote by tenths of a percentage point.

I think Obama will win the Electoral Vote and I'd say he will get at least 310

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Yeah, that was Joe Scarborough's quote.

I have seen probably a dozen articles on Nate Silver in the past three days. It is shaping up as the same scouts vs. nerds debate that raged in baseball after the release of Moneyball.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD


It's over, Moddy.

A Colin Powell endorsement, now Bloomberg, you got Chris Christie doing photo ops with him. They know.

Everything I've seen, the popular vote will be close. The EC? Not that close.
