Between Barack and a Hard Place: Ultimate US Elections 2012 Thread

[Matt Algren]

So I watched Jeopardy! tonight. First time watching live TV with commercials and all. Romney ran an ad about how he shut down a company to find an employee's daughter in another state or something. Obama had two about how he saved the auto industry.

Guess which commercials are exponentially more meaningful in the rust belt.

AP says Obama's job approval among all voters is +7.

Rasmussen still assumes that Republicans are really fired up about voting for Romney, as their "likely voters" model gives Obama a -11 job approval rating.

Nah, Midwestern moderate Democrats are quite different than moderate Republicans, although they can actually work together effectively.

Maybe it congress but not in state legislature its been very hostile.

[Paradox]

There are moderate Republicans in the state legislature? Where?

Assuming you're talking about Michigan...

I thought moderate Republicans were wiped out by an asteroid. No wait, that was the dinosaurs. Point stands, they are extinct.

[Paradox]

Well, there's still Olympia Snow...no, wait...

[Winslow]

There's Arlen Specter! No ... that doesn;t work.

How about good ole Dick Lugar from Indiana! .... Oh that's right.

Wait wait, how about moderate Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney! Wait, he sold his soul to get the nomination.

I give up.

You're better off finding ModReps in Hawaii or Guam then in the mainland.

Romney is not a moderate, he is whatever you want him to be, whatever he needs to be to get elected. he needed to be a 'moderate' for the 'liberal bastion of north east latte sipping elites' aka Mass., if it was Miss. he would have been a 'severe conservative'

Capitolism and hard decisions should be rewarded. But the RHULK thing get tired WRT: tax code, and fukishima.

It would be funny if a comedian said it but tacky for a mag like this to say it. Endorsing gay marriage is one of the few things Barry has done that is positive. A mag like newsweek shouldnt fall this low.

People who read and use news aggregates are lower.
