Furry election 2012.

[CannonFodder]

We were discussing the possibility of a split between the electoral vote and popular vote, though, which would result in an epic media shitfest.

Even worse would be if Romney somehow pulled off an electoral vote tie without winning the popular vote, which could possibly result in fulfilling some Mayan prophecies.

The news media always lose their shit, it's good money. A small part of me hopes that happens and with how foxnews pretty much thinks Obama is "obama bin laden" I hope they lose their shit to the point they try and create a movement to repeal the electoral college and suceed. Not very likely as such a move would destroy our two party system and allow for other third parties to gain equal footing, but foxnews and the tea party movement isn't exactly being powered through brain power.

@Lobar
I approve of this.

Told you the so called, "romney surge" was ending. With only five days until the election any electoral ground Romney gained after the first debate is pretty much gone.

You people see things like 80% chance of winning and get hopeful. I see 80% chance of winning and think "OH GOD HOW IS THERE A 20% CHANCE THAT HE'LL LOSE IT'LL DEFINITELY HAPPEN"

Then just make sure you vote. My vote may not be worth crap cause texas is solid red, but you live in a battleground state and if it goes to romney and you don't vote then you will have permission to kick yourself.

Already absentee balloted like a week ago.

For what it's worth McCain was given something like a 15% chance of winning at this point in 2008 and that was a blowout. It's more a measure of the possibility that the polls are wrong and how wrong they would have to be than a chance that Romney could pull off some game-winning hail mary move that shifts everything in his favor at the last minute.


unrelated edit to avoid double-post: It's looking like Romney's latest hurricane "relief" photo-op might be another soup kitchen moment.

Looks like Bronco Bama is going to get the majority of electrical college votes.

Pretty much. Romney just can't seem to seduce any new states to the his side other than north carolina and I think everyone saw that coming. Romney has been in a constant uphill battle to try and get more electoral votes and is beginning to slide backwards. The closest he ever got was right after the first debate and it's been slowing falling apart after that.

Well honestly what is even the appeal of Romney? At least I can see why people tend to like Obama; but Romney, no.

And it really shouldn't be a choice between the two; it's obvious which one is the better candidate.

That may be your opinion but some people may think differently so there should be a choice because it means they are able to remove their leader if they don't think he did a good job running the country. Freedom to choose your own way, that is important.

So his appeal is to "Think Differently"...Isn't that the Apple slogan?

Boy that is like the perfect motto for Romney.

That and "Change We Can Believe In" and "Yes We Can".

I don't know what other slogan/motto Romney is willing to use.

Doesn't matter if you live in red state, vote anyways

Ok guys, I'm suprized this hasn't been done, but I thought it would be interesting to have our own mini rlcrtion here. Basically vote, then if you want, post why below!

Obama 2012 anybody?

Why is Ron Paul not on the poll? I think he would make a cool furry.

 

[Lobar]

Vote Obama: The only man running that you know can't be re-elected in 2016.

Why are you guys so anti-dictators? Imagine if America was a dictatorship!

Not according to this e-mail to Newt Gingrich supporters

I really hope that it was just a troll email, or some hacker got their hands on it, because that is staggeringly stupid. Even for Newt Gringrich, or his staffers, or whomever is in control of the newsletter.

I also can't wait to see the ridiculous backpedal. That alone will be hilarious.

 

[GhostWolf]

Troll email is easier to take than political phone calls, I have gotten so many vote for me calls I had to turn off my phone until the election is over.

Apparently they rent out the e-mail to advertisers or something like that and this is how it happened. At least that's what I heard.
