Wonder how long it's going to take the CW to catch back up to the fact that Obama's bounce is gone and we're back to a 1-2 point race in spite of everything that's happened the past three weeks

I'm not sure what's a more surprising turn for 80s teen heartthrobs: that Charlie Sheen is still alive or that Kirk Cameron has become politically relevant to a non-trivial portion of the country.

Jump ahead to around the 4:30 mark for the video with Momma Romney, but the whole clip is pretty entertaining.

Did One Tree Hill finally get cancelled? Maybe it'll be in that time slot.

If we don't count FDR 3rd term, the last prez to get less of the EV and popular vote on a re-elect was Andrew Jackson.

Are these polls reflecting response to the video yet?

The summary that td11 posted regarding the Values Voter Summit is freakin' scary. Did tickets to the event come with a free tinfoil hat? Also, Romney's plan to cover his ass over the Florida videos from four months ago is to reference an Obama video from 14 years ago? Solid.

Incumbent isn't what you're going for either because incumbents serving out terms got reelected along the way (TR, Truman, LBJ).

His prior tweet was asking who was the last incumbent reelected with less EVs than in his first election. SHOULD OF INCLUDED BOTH.

Really have a hard time seeing the video affecting national poll numbers. Who the heck was voting for Romney before that and isn't anymore? Tempest in a teapot.

Republicans who don't pay income tax??

by **jamiethekiller** » Wed Sep 19, 2012 11:05:53

i agree with jerz though.

these two parties are so far apart that no matter what dumb comment comes out of romneys mouth its not going to change the mind of a republican voter. between racism and the illusion that a poor republican is going to end up rich one day; romney could shit on the declaration of independence and it wouldn't matter
