2012 Political Predictions

[Hoss]

I'm by no means the vision of physical fitness, but for one who professes to eat healthy, you'd think he could pony up some of that Bain money to treat the poor press corp to a little more diverse and healthy offerings!

I can see the headline if Romney had offered a healthy choice....

Romney offers elitist food to press corp.  Shows again he cannot relate to the common citizen.

Can't please anyone.

They have been pretty regularly attacking Michelle Obama for daring to suggest that kids might be better off if they ate more appropriate portion sizes of healthier food, so you're probably right.

I think a persons religious convictions are as important as their character. Not all religions are alike. Some religions are not born from principle.  I want to know who will be pulling their strings and to whom they are beholden to. I want to understand why they put their religion in a priority position over their country.  

How did you feel about JFK being Catholic?

This has been Guido's test of the "Oh My God Romney Might Win" emergency system. If this had been an actual Romney election victory, I know about half of TNF would be on suicide watch.


Sheesh, I know the race is close and Romney is not running away with anything.

Given that he's said that he'd basically do whatever Netanyahu asks, I don't think not touching is the Romney plan. Of course, that assumes he hasn't changed his plan in the last week.

Yes. Believe it or not I think he has....

RMoney can't be trusted. He won't be listening to his generals...but he will be listening to the inner sanctum (who will that be?).

Yes. RMoney is running away from his previous position.....

I have no problem with Michelle Obama suggesting that kids eat healthier food and portions.  Anything beyond suggestions will require careful scrutiny.

Apparently Andrew Sullivan is officially going "Full Hudson"

What difference does that make? I was 7.

This country will never elect a Jew nor a Muslim.

Not for a while anyway.

Before 1960, you could have said the same thing about a Catholic.

You are not as old as I thought.

Not difficult if all you are citing is one poll that is the outlier of all the other major polls.  And considering it based it's data with a subset of 31% democrats, 36% republican and about 30% independents.

Me thinks people are seeing something that isn't quite there yet.

But keep trying.

[Teatownclown]

That's what you get for being so judgmental.

Guido, landslide coming. Keep your hopes up. I want you to be let down...hard.

No. Not really. the Catholics at least got the country through prohibition.
