Mitt Romney is from Michigan :shrug

Super Dude · « **Reply #1822 on:** March 23, 2012, 07:54:21 PM »

Michigan is a largely Republican state, except for a small circle of blue in Oakland County.

Oh, that small blue Oakland county is 85 fucking % of the state's population.

Super Dude · « **Reply #1824 on:** March 23, 2012, 08:08:55 PM »

Actually according to the 2010 Census, that number is closer to 10%.

That's approximately 1.2 million out of nearly 9.9 million, in case you were wondering.

Oakland County is like 85% of the population of Michigan last I checked...

Ah, it's 3 or 4 counties down there, including Wayne county. Detroit metro area makes up most of Michigan's population. I'm from Leelanau County...21k.

Super Dude · « **Reply #1826 on:** March 23, 2012, 09:01:26 PM »

OK, but in the grand scheme of things, 1.2 million out of 9.9 million still ain't what I'd call the majority of the Michigan population. And hey, even in that circle of blue a decent number of Romney supporters are mixed in. Rich and with an interest in staying rich, as you'd well imagine.

Obama: California, Connecticut, Delaware, D.C., Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington

Republican (probably Romney): Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Mississippi, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming

Again, every state not called will be brought up for debate here. I'm just submitting some 'sure things' to save time later.

I know Mass is most likely going to be the Republican nominees home state, but I find it hard to believe they would vote Republican.

I do find that interesting; the most likely Republican nominee will almost definitely lose his 'home state'. To be fair, Romney has about 13 home states (only slightly exaggerating), but it would be shocking if the democrats lost Massachusetts, and they'll probably keep Michigan in their column in 2012. Obama has roughly a 10 point lead over Romney in Michigan right now.

Quit posting the red as the democrats and the blue as republican. That's just asinine.

I really do like that site, but I'll consider picking a site with the Dems as blue and the GOP as red, since you Americans have that silly inverse color scheme.

Anyhoo, most likely I will be using those projections from the previous page to save time. There's not exactly anything controversial in those pics. I mean, I didn't even call Massachusetts or Texas.

I guess today's primary isn't all that exciting, other than the certainty that it will keep the battle going because Santorum will win.

TL · « **Reply #1830 on:** March 24, 2012, 07:07:02 PM »

I like that, at this point, even CNN doesn't seem to care. They didn't block off a timeslot for Primary coverage, and have already called it for Santorum.

The perfectly fitting thing is that today, the New Democratic Party here in Canada is holding its leadership convention. Sure, they've had a few debates, but the entire selection process takes place today. They've already gotten it down from 7 candidates to 2, and will probably have a new party leader within the hour.
The contrast is pretty staggering.

MA is an odd state. We chose Scott Brown over Martha Coakley to fill Ted Kennedy's seat, but I think that was more a function of Coakley's terrible campaign than it was of Brown's superiority as a candidate.

I think the general election voting will be pretty tight here, but I think Obama will probably win it.

I just love Kristen Schaal. She was on the Daily Show and her skit on the The Vulgar Games - Republican Policy Routine, was to die for.

Well, I know he came out against pornography, so it wouldn't surprise me the least.

Is there a way to institute a fairness and honestly policy for Presidential candidates? Like, if you blatantly lie or distort more than 5 times, you're kicked off the fucking ballot. I mean, what the fuck? He favors pornographers over children and families?

The only thing "coming soon" to RickSantorum.com is his concession message to the eventual Republican nominee.

emindead · « **Reply #1844 on:** March 27, 2012, 08:13:40 AM »

So Mitt Romney said that Russia was USA's "number-one foe". Dimitri Medvedev told him to think before speaking and to check his watch; it's 2012 not the 70s.
Romney is sooo stupid.

Hey, if they can get country bumpkins to point fingers at someone else, they can easily sidestep problems that are their own fault.

I don't get the point of creating a fake image like that. Why make shit up and giving people the excuse to say "half of the stuff that's said about him isn't true!!", when the guy already said so much ridiculous stuff?

Romney's statement is unfathomably stupid.

I bet high gas prices will hurt Obama in the election, whether or not he actually has anything to do with it.

rumborak · « **Reply #1851 on:** March 27, 2012, 12:13:33 PM »

The overall international ignorance of the US population definitely helps with that. Was listening to German news yesterday, same thing there, gas prices are at an all-time high.
Unless Obama can stop the Chinese and Indians from wanting to drive, I don't see any possible direction for gas than up.

Yeah, gas is pretty expensive these days. Too bad we don't have some cheaper alternative we can turn to.

That wouldn't change much. We may be sitting on a good amount of oil, but not a ridiculous amount of oil. It's never going to be $20 to fill up your tank ever again, that I can promise you.
