Where the hell did that come from? Talk about off topic.

You've obviously never taken statistics. Averages are relatively useless since they almost inevitably contain outliers; statistics experts use standard deviation to account for this, but since few people understand the effect of standard deviation on an outcome of the average, RCP obviously doesn't see the need to use it. It's really no excuse; they go poll fishing for Strategic Vision and other Republican commissioned polls, but they fail to mention that the actual average of mainstream polls -- and yes, that's even considering Gallup's usual shenanegans -- is far closer than their "averages" show. In sum, averages are useless in this business. But feel free to continue using it as gospel.

Awesome idea to make this thread, at least now I know which one to avoid!

Yes, join the Liberal Legions.

Despite Teke's cheap shot, yes, al Qaida has both a media liason organization and a public relations organization within it. If you're interested on reading about al Qaida's structure, I suggest picking up the 9/11 Commission Report. It's fascinating to read about the group's organization and whatnot.

Yeesh, you've posted more topics in the last day than I've posted at all in the last week.

Pittsburgh -- 17 Arizona at Buffalo (3.5) Baltimore at Philadelphia (8.5) Cincinnati at Tennessee (3.5) Detroit at Dallas (3.5) Green Bay (3.5) at Washington Indianapolis (5.5) at Kansas City Jacksonville (2.5) at Houston N.Y. Giants at Minnesota (7.5) Atlanta at Denver (7.5) Carolina at Seattle (8.5) New England (4.5) at Pittsburgh Oakland at San Diego (6.5) San Francisco at Chicago (2.5) Miami at N.Y. Jets (9.5)

The thing is, this is all already being investigated. It's not like we're going to be figuring this stuff out on election night. I don't think the fraud/disenfranchisement is going to be as big a story as we're making it out to be right now. Again, just a hunch.

I sincerely doubt voter fraud will play a large role in this election. Call it a hunch.

In reality, turnout is going to be important in Colorado. Neither side really has campaigned that hard there, from what I've seen, which makes the local elections that much more important. The fact that Coors is such a weak candidate -- and the fact that Salazar is so widely liked by Colorado democrats -- could make it a true tossup. There are other factors outside of the RCP average that come into play here.

I think you're discounting Colorado a bit too soon. Salazar could have legs and draw in quite a few Kerry votes. We'll see; I think that's a tossup.

I have a bottle of Smirnoff Vanilla Vodka and a bottle of Smirnoff Raspberry Vodka. Roommate has a case of Molson XXX. We might need more.

Yup.

Needs more Roethlisberger. BIG BEN~!, if the Steelers win this week, deserves a tildebang.

I told her I would've gone if I wasn't stuck in PA. Damn it, this sounds like it would've been a blast, too. ...okay, I might go. I've changed my mind on how difficult it would be. It'd be kinda easy. As long as I finish my work -- that means no making me post, you assholes. Liberal Legion, keep up the good work. Make sure I can go to this party.

Being that I am a whore who seeks vindication, please evaluate me.

Yeah, your hysterical replies to me -- and your insistence that you're unbiased and independent -- really show that, sport

Replace "Bush" with "Kerry" and it describes you perfectly. You, of all people, have no room to speak in this department. Yep, my analysis of the first and third debates where I didn't think either won proves my 'Bush fanboyism'.................... You're ignoring, of course, the fact that you were harping on how "a draw isn't enough for Kerry!!!" Trust me, your posts in virtually every thread are enough to label you as just as much a partisan hack as anyone else. Calling Jobber a "fanboy" because of this thread completely ignores your likewise activity in support of dear leader in every other one.

Replace "Bush" with "Kerry" and it describes you perfectly. You, of all people, have no room to speak in this department.

Your ballot eats a bag of dicks.

I've already had my ballot in for a while now.

Full Metal Jacket.

<--- Steelers fan.

No way... the Pats defense will cause Big Ben to leap back an hour just like all the other clocks next weekend! That, perhaps, may have been the worst simile I've ever heard.
