Over a billion spent trying to buy this election and the best the GOP can do is make a "can't lose" election into a nail-biter.
I think there's gonna be a lot of billionaires demanding refunds come Wednesday.

Next time the republicans will do two things.
1) Nominate a more conservative candidate.
2) Spend even more money.
Outcome will be the same.

Hey, at least it gets them to spend some of their money here in the US. They haven't figured out how to outsource campaigns yet, as far as I know.

Like I said downstairs, one thing I foresee coming out of this election will be pushes by the GOP to limit the influence of unrestricted campaign spending like this at the local and state level, as well as in party primaries. That will be geared more towards preventing the Tea Party from putting guys like Joe Walsh back on the ballots.

He should win Ohio comfortably, by a large enough margin that a recount would clearly be futile. That would make challenging the results in any other state pointless.

Romney robocall: Obama is a threat to our religious freedom!1! Srsly!
"Christians who are thinking about voting for Obama should remember what he said about people of faith: “They … cling to guns or religion.” And remember when Obama forced Christian organizations to provide insurance coverage that was contrary to their religious beliefs? That’s the real Barack Obama. That’s the real threat to our religious freedom. Mitt Romney understands the importance of faith and family. That’s why so many leaders of the Christian community are supporting Romney.
They know we can’t underestimate the threat Barack Obama poses to our faith, our values, our freedom."

The GOP will press it even without a serious chance of prevailing in an attempt to weaken Obama's legitimacy. They are that sort of bastards these days.
Al Gore refused to do wo, even with a reasonable chance of prevailing because he did not want to see America's political legitimacy threatened. We already saw what the GOP thinks of that notion over the last budget debacle...

New York newspapers flip for Romney
"Obama's failure to accelerate the improvement of the economy is the dominant reason Romney is the right choice, but it's not the only one," wrote the Long Island paper's editorial board, also pointing to a rising national debt and Obama's failure to break the partisan divide in Washington, to name a few.

I'm glad you asked, because there's another National Review article dealing with that!
Global Warming Did Not Cause Sandy
In the wake of the disaster caused by Tropical Storm Sandy, various allies of the Obama campaign have rushed to claim that the event was caused by anthropogenic global warming, thereby justifying the president’s program of crushing the economy with regressive carbon taxes, a supposedly necessary measure to prevent future bad weather. In fact, there is no scientific basis, either empirical or theoretical, to justify such claims.
Romney did nothing, resolutely! The RIGHT choice!

re: #77 geoduck
I urge folks to push for all vote-by-mail, like we now do in Washington and Oregon. You get your ballot days in advance and can fill it out at your leisure at home, no standing in damn lines for hours on end. If you don't trust the mail, there are places to directly return your completed ballot.
I have some issues with that, as I articulated a day ago:
1) That assumes that the rest of the country is as advanced as Washington and Oregon. It isn't. I shudder to think how a mail voting system would proceed in a state with a history of vote corruption.
2) I garan-fuckin-tee you some religious nuts are going try to dictate their family votes one way or another. This is the reason we have the secret ballot.
3) We don't even know the long term prospects of the USPS yet. We may end up with a public voting system processed through a panoply of private carriers. Oh hell no.

Communists and Dictators and Muslims and Murderers: Just Another Sunday Conversation at Church in Florida ow.ly/f0ON9

"You know," Barbara told her friends, "if that Obamacare isn't repealed, we're going to lose all our doctors. There just waiting to see if it stays and, if it does, they'll leave. They'll leave the country." Somebody else mentioned the president's plan to arrest doctors who refuse to be part of his health-care plan. "That sounds like a dictatorship," someone said.
"Well, it is a dictatorship," someone else responded, as the elderly ladies across the room pursed their lips and tried not to notice. "He's a Socialist, that's what he is."
"He doesn't even go to church," Barbara said. "My daughter, she talked at a college up north, and she told me that they've all had all this stuff just force-fed to them. She said that they all believe in evolution, that we all descended from monkeys. All the teachers and professors are Communists."

re: #98 ProGunLiberal
My prediction for the election, based off of Nate Silver.
After this election, with the evil seen from the Republicans, the Democrats need to use the Demographics to their advantage to deprive Republicans all levers of power at the Federal Level (Presidency, Senate, and House) and subsequently use that to impeach both Scalia and Thomas for their corruption. Then use that power to push for heavy reforms economically. If we need to, see if any Hardline Democratic states have internal disputes with fissioning the state into 2 Democratic states, giving us 2 more senators for each instance of this.
The Demographic Shift should be able to have the US look like this by 2028. I am counting on Atlanta being able to, with 16 years, flip Georgia, and for increased immigration from the Arab and South Asian Countries to continue, going to areas with already high concentrations, shifting those states too. That could shift Tennessee (Nashville has highest concentration of Kurds in the US) and Indiana (Heavy Arab Population in Great Lakes region in general. Hispanics count for the rest.
"If we need to, see if any Hardline Democratic states have internal disputes with fissioning the state into 2 Democratic states, giving us 2 more senators for each instance of this."
The F**k is this? Seriously... I can't come up with any more coherent reply than that....

I mean, for example, that Upstate and Downstate New York could split. With Buffalo and a few of the other centers, Upstate would remain safe. However, that would also represent a gain of 2 Democratic Senators.
Do this cases where there are irreconcilable differences between Democratic states where both would remain Democratic.
I know what you're saying.... but it is insane.
It would lead to Republican's doing the same thing whenever they could also... it would lead to America nation of countless "states" made up of five people, either four democrats and one Republican /undecided (so that two of the democrats can be senators) or vice versa...
Do you not really how crazy it would be to start dividing up states to try and get more senators on one side or the other?

FUCK YOU AND YOUR KUCINICH HATE. Dennis Kucinich may be a pacifist, a vegan, a liberal/progressive, and have a hot fucking wife, but don't think you can flog him any time you want. He was one of the few voices (besides Barack Obama, YOUR FUCKING PRESIDENT--whether you like it or not) who spoke out against the invasion of Iraq from day 1. And he was right. Congress is going to suck even more without him.

re: #192 jamesfirecat
This:
On August 31, Al Jazeera reported that a document had been found in the headquarters of the Libyan intelligence agency which according to the author appears to be a summary of a conversation between Kucinich and an intermediary for Saif al-Islam Gaddafi in which the congressman asked for information about the anti-Gaddafi National Transitional Council (NTC), possible links of it to al-Qaeda and corruption evidences, to lobby US lawmakers to put an end to NATO airstrikes and suspend their support for the NTC.[137] It also listed information necessary to defend Saif al-Islam against International Criminal Court war crimes charges.
He also has a history of flip-flopping (on abortion), and being nutty, as detailed here
I wish he could be prosecuted for the first one though.

Rand Paul isn't a very reliable source of information either. Sometimes this stuff runs in the family. I suppose it's possible that Mitt is holding a crowd of people captive but Kuchinich's daughter might not be a reliable source for that information.

Anything's possible, but I think the fact that she writes in the politics section of USA Today (a mainstream rag, if ever there was one) and that her Twitter account says as much adds a little more credibility to what she's saying than ol' Aqua Buddha.
