Re: One step closer to one-party rule: Specter becomes Dem
More seriously, he was asking how could Pennsylvanians could "trust" Specter. Well, they can certainly trust Specter to kick the living shit out of Toomey in the general next year. I'd bet a thousand dollars Specter will increase his victory margin from 2004 against any Republican. Agains...

Re: US Election 2008 Results Thread
I think it's kind of weird that the media called Pennsylvania for Obama so quickly, especially since they've spent the last couple weeks acting as if McCain had a chance there. Also, I'm watching the results for Virginia coming in, and Obama is behind by double digits. I know it's probably just beca...

Re: US Election 2008 Results Thread
Georgia's not been called yet because the big cities aren't in, I'm pretty sure. Also, the exit polls and election day voting results should be skewed toward McCain because a disproportionate amount of Democrats voted early. Speaking of early voting, when will votes be counted and added to the tota...

Re: Possible Powell endorsement on this Sunday's Meet The Press
I'm not sure what effect the endorsement itself will have on voters, but I'm thinking that it will open the door for more moderate Republicans to break ranks and endorse Obama if that's what they believe. Eventally, the far-right won't be able to write off those that do so as being motivated by race...

Re: Has McCain actually already LOST?
The last X-factor in the race is the media's obsession with Samuel Wurzerbacher. The Democrats have pulled ahead when the issues are at the forefront and people are made to look at facts and figures, but the Republicans excel when the political discourse becomes vapid and the focus is on personaliti...

Re: Has McCain actually already LOST?
How much good does it do FOX or even the GOP to act like its an even race? Who does it work for? I mean, I'm not saying they're above it, I am convinced of their own sided assmuggery, I just don't get what good it does them to predict it well for McCain in comparison to other networks? To keep Repu...

Re: Has McCain actually already LOST?
I would wait until after the debates before coming to any conclusions. Debates are only game-changers in extraordinarily close elections like 1960 and 2000, but if expectations for McCain are low enough where he can be considered the winner of the last two debates by virtue of not having a "hey...

I could actually see it backfiring on the McCain campaign. Even if Obama declared attacks on Bristol Palin off-limits, he could still condemn the Republicans for exploiting her condition for political gain and trying to distract the country from the issues. If people could see through McCain's "...

I think the male support for Palin is normal, it's just that the pick backfired among women. They might have seen McCain picking a half-term governor from one of the least-populated states with no apparent interest in national politics until recently in a perceived attempt to get their vote as conde...

The media goes on a lot about how Obama supposedly is weak for Hispanic voters, and Richardson might be able to help with that if it's true. Though I wouldn't bank on that as a main reason; I'd go for him for his energy and environmental policies and knowledge, and if he pulls in Hispanic voters wh...

I think Crystal Skull was a passable flick, but they should have cut out some plot to give screen time to long shots of character interaction of dialogue-less drama. Except for some bits that were slowed down such as the diner they were in, the movie kept going at 100 mph which was just plain awful...

I can't say I liked it entirely. It felt like there too many plot points and shifts in tone, as if the script was pieced together from several early drafts. Irina was too one-note and didn't have enough screen time to be an effective villain, and the comic relief moments felt out of place (A student...
