At Home

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/...om_bailout.html This sounds familiar.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/100...ugs_McCain.html Awesome. RCP reports that Obama's ratings are now over 50%, and has an insane 190 electoral vote lead, with 364 to McCain's 174.

That article does a stunning job of citing its sources. ", people briefed on the matter said." "people said."

Hey, then we can actually start The Kinect Four

Asians, yes, hippies, not so much. The bay area has the most asians and hippies, but Seattle has hipsters and asians. I'll be moving up to that neck of the woods next year.

Stock market up over 550 points.

Deep, EHME. Deep.

That's Slayer.

Cha bro I just want you to sell your soul

NO PERIOD GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO COMMA GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Nailed it. Not so much for the republicans, who you just cycled through the three or four frontrunners, plus Gingrich.

Marvin, guess what, it's not a fucking jigsaw puzzle. You know what it is? Two guys who worked together and shared the same left-leaning, fashionable philosophy on education. No one here cares. You're propagating dumb bullshit that has absolutely NO relevance on the campaign. Although I can't say that they can't bring it up, I am saying that it's stupid to bring it up, and it's been blown up beyond all reasonable proportion. To think that THIS is the issue to judge Obama on is the real crime here.

I agree with none of it, and I'm fairly sure it was a joke.

Confirmation bias. Bad way to come to a conclusion.

There won't be anything that we can do, let me tell you that. Everything that you are talking about are problems that you have to face psychologically, and your own will is the only thing that can change it, period. Stop being a lazy bastard, work on your game, whatever. Make the effort. Joining the army or anything like that won't solve any of your problems. You'll be the Private Pile of the group. Don't rely on anything but yourself to make your problems go away. You've told us what your issues are, go and fix them. If you can't help yourself, no one here can.

Do you actually want help, or do you want us to read your monologue?

So who's investing in the stock market? I've got about $150 to spend, I expect my money to dodecatuple.

Bringing out the base is what won in 2004. Bush was an incumbent president, and nothing had really gone down the shitter enough to sway voters.

Who gives a shit about bringing out the base? Bring out the moderates, win an election.

I disagree. 2004/2006, yeah. But I don't think this election was a referendum on W; McCain was doing well enough until the economy tanked. I think it's a referendum on Republican Party more than anything. It feels like this frustration goes beyond just the President. I can see how it could be a referendum on the Republican Party, but that doesn't really stand up to what happens in the primaries. After all, conservatives didn't nominate McCain, moderates, but mostly democrats who went out to republican primaries did. McCain rarely, if ever, got pluralities with people who identified as conservatives. Furthermore, the Obama camp's tactic of absolutely tying McCain to Bush with kevlar ropes is doing the best. Well, that and the economy.
