That dress on Rihanna, or Beyonce...;)
 
It would mean it would be over for anyone who believes elections cannot be bought, that political cynicism by minority parties should not be rewarded and those who realize exploding the national deficit even more with tax cuts that only magnify income inequality in this country and an inevitable war with Iran are all bad things.

Obviously, that may not include everybody around here.
And if George Bush won in 2004, he was going to declare himself emperor by the end of his second term. :o
 
Honestly though, while I thoroughly believe all of the demo rating doomsday forecasting with Romney is just them swimming up to their ears in propagandic fantasies and half-truths, I am still surprised its going to be as close as it looks to be. There's something about Romney to me that just screams John Kerry, Bob Dole, George McGovern, etc. I just can't imagine him ever bring elected. Nor him receiving the level of support he has gotten.

John Kerry was ~120k voters away from winning Ohio(and the electoral vote)

I like how when these things are changing votes for Obama, no one picks up on the story. Then as soon as this happens everyone is on top of it.

Bottom line, technology just sucks sometimes.

Is there evidence of it happening for Obama? It suck either way. I can't believe there are so many issues with voting. I've never had issues and I was in and out in under a half hour.
 
I know this is completely trivial nor should anyone take political advice from celebrities--particularly pop stars--but somehow I missed this and only saw it this morning in a wrap up of the last 72 hours before the election on CNN and....

Katy%20Perry%20at%20a%20campaign%20rally%20for%20President%20Barack%20Obama%20at%20the%20Delta%20Center%20-11-560x879.jpg


Day-um. I never really liked that slogan much until right now.

In all seriousness, does anybody know Katy Perry's reasons for supporting President Obama? I always wonder if these celebs genuinely know the policies or if they just think it's "cool."
 
I don't know about you, but I shudder to think about Katy Perry's thoughts on anything, let alone politics. :o
 
Probably rebelling against her conservative parents, aka what her whole career has hinged on.

That's not necessarily my point.

I'm not surprised Kerry got that level of support. While he, in personality, was an obvious loser, Bush had a ton of negative sentiment. You probably could've had a sea otter run against him and get a sizable amount of votes. :o

Obama isn't THAT disliked though, and Romney just reeks of loser, of runner up, of an out of touch, past his prime politician who's just being given a courtesy nod before he's shifted aside in favor of someone better.
 
I love how silly the pictures released by the Obama camp today of him playing basketball are. It is so clearly a political photo-op meant to show the president as a laid back, regular guy who is unflappable even on election day. At the same time, it is so effin silly because it is so clearly a photo-op. After all, if you are gong to sped the day playing basketball are you really going to do it in a pair of slacks, a button up shirt and oxford shoes? :funny:
 
And what regular guy would be playing basketball while waiting to see if they've won a Presidential Election.

A 10 minute video of him pacing nervously in his living room would be a much better portrayal of the common man. :o
 
He did the same thing last time. Was playing basketball. Frankly i dont care what he does, and a picture of him pacing nervously would look just as much like a photo-op imo. Some people would rather occupy their mind rather than pace uselessly.
 
You would think Obama would be on Halo 4 pwning noobs.

Thats arguable.
