Let's talk Electoral College

[Townsend]

I intend to vote for him unless they find a corpse in his trunk between now and election day.

A plus for him that they've already found the corpse then.

Was there a bloody, stainless hook next to the body?

Thanks for posting. A tad antiquated. Although the rules were made so that the maximum amount of people would be able to vote. Well, I think the time has come to revisit these rules to decide when the optimum time for elections would be.

I guess we just stick with the Tuesday thing for every other election as well, for no other reason than the federal elections are on Tuesday?

It's Tuesday because that is what the Congress said to do.


Seriously, this might be the place to discuss it - what day would be a better day??  And why??
My thought is that there is no real reason to change it - how would it be better any other time, especially with all the absentee and early voting possibilities available now?

As I originally said, they both conducted campaign events, NOT fund-raising events.   Where is your evidence otherwise?  

Why look...Vegas billionaire gives $10 million dollars to Romney campaign this week.

Sorry oil capital. Proof that you are wrong.

Checkmate.

ROFL   You CANNOT be serious!   The only thing you have proven is your own dishonesty.  Are you just throwing up random links?

How do early October contributions to a PAC relate to, let alone disprove, the statement that the Romney and Obama campaigns visited Nevada this week for campaign events, not for fund-raising events?

As I originally said, both Romney and Obama went to Nevada this week to do campaign events, not to do fund-raising events.  That is reality.

Adelson has been shoveling money Romney's way since day 1.

OC and RM, with all due respect, do you mind carrying on your distracting conversation via PM or start another thread?

Reading the bickering on this thread is worse than watching a presidential debate.

I agree with you that as long as early voting is allowed for everyone, Tuesday is fine.  The only reason to move it to Saturday would be for the watch parties.  We could make Tuesday and Wednesday a national holiday.

My big concern is the early voting.  Will the GOP continue to try to remove it?  If so, Tuesday is not a good day.

I guess this is the only thread that ever went off on a tangent between two people who disagree.

Since I won the argument, I will stop.

That only seems fair.

You forgot one important point: Marshall's.

Thanks for the reminder.  I still have never had Oktoberfest.

Check your PMs, BTW.

Those three Ohio polls that came out today probably have some folks thinking about committing suicide, or at least moving out of the country.

You need to change that.

My wife chose Cooper over Marshall's last night.  The fool.
