Let's talk Electoral College

[carltonplace]

Shhh. It's all they got left.

The reason this became an instant meme is because of how awkward Romney was when faced with the subject: Equality for Women. Rather than address the question he tried to pivot to a lame personal story that didn't even ring true. As a result he ended up looking like his idea of women in the work place was based on the show Mad Men.

The most apt description I have ever heard about Mika is that she is the resident Newspaper reader. And if you would ever watch the show, you would understand perfectly. Usually the only comments she has are lifted directly from the days paper held directly in front of her face as she reads it while the screan is plastered with a screenshot of said article.

After listening to this chick argue with Chris Wallace a few weeks ago, Mika would have to work very hard to sound more brainless.

I knew Fox News would come back into this...This'll give you nightmares T:

You posted a link about MSNBC.  Of course the twin would pop up.

[Gaspar]

Not trying to be critical of MSNBC (because FOX has it's fair share of nit wits), but Mika has got to be the most brainless political pundit out there. If her old man wasn't anybody, she'd be working at Macy's like she ought to be.

Now I'm a sexist right?

Pig!  

I bet you have binders freekin full of women!
Legs hanging out!

I have to admit though, Mika is several rungs higher on the sentience scale than some of the other folks on that network.  Joe Scarborough has to be the most confused person I've ever had to listen to.

The biggest issue for women & men is jobs and income. That seems to be something the president would rather avoid, therefore giving something for nothing is what he has to work with

You say that, but Obama directly addressed the question including an example of what he has already done to help them in the quest for pay equality while Romney did not.

And the binders thing wasn't an exmple of something that Romney did. He saw a need and tried to address it.

And how did Obama explain away what happened to middle class income the last four years?

Except that he didn't "see a need and try to address it". He was given the binder as had been planned before the election by some women's group.

Again, Romney didn't even address the question, but instead talked about his binders full of women. The question wasn't about getting more women into the workforce, it was about making sure they get equal pay for equal work.

Conan, he didn't. I will. It's called supply and demand. As long as supply exceeds demand, wages will continue to be pushed down. It's called the free market.

Back to the electoral college topic, if I may.  There is a new Susquehanna poll taken October 11-13 that shows Romney leading in Pennsylvania, 49-45.  The prior Susquehanna poll, taken exactly one week earlier, had Obama leading 47-45 (in itself a bit of a caution sign for an incumbent Democrat president).

Lest I be accused of cherry-picking polls, it should be noted that a Quinnipiac poll conducted October 12-14 gives Obama a 50-46 lead, to which the Philadelphia Inquirer commented "OK, this is getting close."  (Quinnipiac had Obama up  by 12 points in September.)

Either way, another 20 of RM's "almost certain" electoral votes for Obama may be looking a little less certain.

Bunches of bitter clingers having their say right now...

O   M   G   !!    Forget the electoral college!

Heaven has arrived in Oklahoma.

Medium sized sweet potato, microwaved on high for 3 minutes, turned over and hit again for another 3 minutes.  When done, cut evenly down the middle, and spread on a medium sized plate.

Apply a half dozen pats of real butter.  Let it melt into the potato for a couple minutes.  Finish the decorations with a BIG glob of sour cream on each side, with grated sharp cheddar over the top.  If I had chives, I would put them on, too, even though I don't like them very well!

This is the culinary incarnation of the number '42'.
