Let's talk Electoral College

[erfalf]

Kinda like when a republican gets his donkey beat in a debate, Fox News calls it a draw.

Yea, sure.

Once again, there's that cherry-picking.  Were there any others on the FNC that said Obama came out ahead?

I thought Real Clear Politics AGGREGATES polls. Something like this:

HOSS, you are like Shadows without the common sense to know when to clam up.

Probably about as many on MSNBC that thought Romney came out ahead.

Once again, Republicans screech louder when a dissenting opinion is introduced.  It's a pattern.  Doesn't dissuade me however.

Realclear is a real bastion of down-the-middle polling.

It's important to share your victories, but even more important to own your defeats.

Romney took several of the President's policy points on issues from the debate and is forcefully using them on the campaign trail.  

On the other hand, just as in the first debate, the president has taken to the ridicule of semantics to avoid issues.   He couldn't get Big Bird off the ground, and now he's using the odd, and perhaps poorly worded, mention that Romney requested binders of resumes to ensure that his staff was well balanced and representative of his constituency in hopes that it will turn women off.  Not only is that strange, but the only way I can really describe it is Fluked up!

Who is trying to USE women here?

[erfalf]

What's funny is that the Romney gaffes are only gaffes to Democrats. It's not like Romney said that he believes that some people make too much money even though they earned it or made fun of the mentally handicapped or something. Geeze.

Wow.  Speechless.

Real Clear Politics does aggregate polls.  But according to Hoss, if you cite RCP's aggregation, you are cherry-picking; but if you cite Nate Silver's aggregation you are apparently conveying the wisdom of God.  (Never mind that their aggregations do not show wildly different results.... but that gets into Hoss's whole problem of not understanding Nate Silver's analyses, as discussed above.)

Pointing out stupidity is now loud screeching. Check.

I thought the Times was the voice of God.

Oh, I doubt it.

Once again, stupidity to you is not to others.  I'm just pointing out now how the graphics have been coming hot and heavy from Gweed.  That's screaming.  That's fine.  I guess Gweed's head hurts from all his daytime litigating, so he goes light on the evening.

So you think the binder thing is not a stupid childish joke told by those that understand what he was saying but chose to ignore it anyways because it could possibly score some political points?
