Not bad, Grasshopper. If Obie wins, that's a very likely scenario.

One of my models has that exact same map, but with WI flipped to give Mitt the win. Either way, we're looking at an all-nighter.

That is the most realistic thing you have ever posted, mostly you post outrageous things that make monkeys look smart.

What happened to the landslide you've been predicting for months?

You do realize that they endorsed Reagen twice and W in 2000

I never said there would be a landslide...I only said there was potential for one

Which has what to do with 2012? No kidding they endorsed Reagan, we had pre-Obama in Jimmy Carter and freaking Walter Mondale. What's interesting is we have the second coming of Jimmy Cater in Obama (if not worse) yet the PD still endorses him. Why?

Watched Bill Maher this week, and they had an african-american woman on. She's talking and I'm thinking "where the fuck do you get your news?!?". Later a caption explains she's an MSNBC contributor. Ok, that explains it.

Why do you watch things you know will frustrate you?

Bill Maher is occasionally entertaining. I will occasionally read Rush for the same reasons.

But now that you mention it, Maher used to be much more reasonable and decent. He's gone full-retard in the last year or two. I guess that's what happens when your liberal wet dream is nothing more than blue balls (literally and figuratively).

To be honest I haven't followed Maher that much, but the idea that he was ever "Libertarian" is so insane it boggles the mind, yet that was how he advertised himself when he started his show. Similar to Andrew Sullivan who actually went further and called himself a "conservative", but is more liberal than 95% of Americans. I don't know what these guys have to gain by lying about their beliefs. We all know they are extreme liberals.

You may be right. 2 years ago he was parroting Libertarian views much more frequently. Now he just panders to the "liberal bubble".

He's a lot like Rush. Smart guys that pander to an audience and, I imagine, are able to sleep at night by believing they are entertainers.

Years ago (early 2000s), Maher was much more libertarian. I can't believe he even makes the claim at this point.

I don't know if he's made that claim in a while. But he is a smart guy, and he says a lot of shit that you know he can't possibly believe - and the audience just cheers and applauds.

Because they can't just bend over and fire talking points out of their asses if they actually supply a real answer.

That's hardly true. They've endorsed a lot of Republicans in the post-war era. The Dispatch however, the last Democrat they endorsed was Woodrow Wilson...

Mine hasn't changed. I still have Mittens up 261-243 with Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa too close to call.

In the end I think...barring a major flop by Obama tonight akin to the first debate or some other surprise...Barry holds on to a close win losing Florida and Virginia but holding onto Ohio.
