Romney-Obama: Handicapping the Race

[Free South Califas]

Although, it looks like Iowa's defying my expectations, but hey, I don't mind that, since it ain't going for Romney. I'm a bit surprised that New England isn't gangbanging New Hampshire, I mean it's red in a sea of blue, maybe the neighboring states can send in pro-Obama agitators.

To gang-rape the voters, you say? I suspect they'll be outnumbered, and opposed by Johnny Law. Perhaps another strategy is in order.

Idaho isn't only more-sheep-than-people-land, it's Crazyville!

Remember that the only way to get Idaho to vote blue is to have the Rep. caught raping a prepubescent girl while feasting on a dead kitten's remains, and even then it would be close.

Questions about the morality of the girl and the kitten would probably be involved.

In Idaho (4 EV's), a new Mason Dixon poll shows Romney leading by 36%. The Gem State remains "Strongly Republican".

Idaho isn't only more-sheep-than-people-land, it's Crazyville!

well, at least in the sense that its mormon country.

it does have a developing split, though. as boise becomes a real city, it is trending democratic. and the influx of californians is also starting to have an effect. in 2008, a democrat actually managed to win my old congressional district there (we almost pulled it off in 2006, too). of course, the idaho republicans have fixed this for now by redistricting boise so that it and moscow can't team up to outvote the nazis in coeur d'alene and ruin the unified crazy.

Idaho did give us Larry Craig, after all.

Or have the candidate be LBJ.

You're so mean. If you can't be right-wing crazy in Idaho, where the hell can you be right-wing crazy? Look at ASB's map, the Old South is only pink, not deep, American red, even Arizona is looking damned anemic.

Pinkos! They should stand strong, in the blue column, with America and all sensible nations. I demand immediate military intervention.

Sure, exile all the God-fearing patriots to the desert. Mean, I tell you, just plain mean.

Once McCain dies I don't see Arizona staying red.

the desert is the best place for rugged individualism (and subsidized communications and transport).

And really pretty rock-climbing and sex on top of sandstones.

What were we discussing in this thread again?

OH RIGHT. The odds of someone winning the race for the presidency.

[Neo Art]

Obama's odds at fivethirtyeight.com have been ever so slowly upticking the last few days, and as of the most recent update, he's once again projected to win a clear majority of the vote, and is now the 2:1 favorite of the race.

Which, if your an Obama supporter, while that looks painfully close, let's not forget that 2:1 odds with 3 weeks to go is not actually all that bad at all.

The problem is he was a 3:1 favorite not two weeks ago.

Calm down Obama is pretty much guaranteed to win.

Just saying there is no reason to panic and go door to door, or donate more to the Obama campaign it is in the bag.

Oh, wow. I checked this morning and he was still at 60%. Still, that's a definite improvement!

Well, I'd calm down, but if I calmed down any more my pulse would flatline.

Going based solely on the math, yes, Obama wins in a cakewalk. However, he is by no means "guaranteed" anything but a spot on the ballot.

Ah. This explains why a new shipment of batshit arrived at Hannity Towers today.

Apparently, the difference between the Benghazi Conspiracy and Watergate, is that no one died in Watergate.

I did wonder where the extra craziness was coming from - the odds going against them seems like a good explanation.

Which almost everyone agreed was far too high to actually be real, and was almost certainly artificial.

If there is a dead hooker in his hotel room he might lose.

Well prior to Denver Romney had never did anything but put his foot in his mouth.
He finally had one good showing and got enough votes to not lose really badly.

Hannity imports guano?

We're trying to work out a population exchange for our neighbors with New Mexico. NH is the only state Maine borders, so if they go red state, we're isolated, NM is likewise surrounded.
