Mucho sweet p...... baseball tickets cell phones - those obama phones were hotcake muthaf***as more mucho sweet p.... money money money and some mucho sweet p..... (might have to be redistributed if there's not enough to go around) good list. i'm pretty sure in reality we can't guarantee the "mucho sweet p.....", but we can make a campaign promise to do it.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:56 PM) the only way that'll happen is if we keep talking about going over a financial cliff. i bet they take the easy way out and find a way to 'kick the can down the road'. the best solution to me, is to agree to some crappy tax increase for 'rich people' that the Democrats want. BUT the tax increase only kicks in after spending cuts are realized.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:41 PM) If that was their platform, probably haha. I guess if they wanted to ban immigrants or gay marriage, Id still have to begrudgingly vote against my self interest, but if they are willing to be cool and give out freedoms, Im willing to give them a chance. gay marriage, fine. we will not put up a fight against it. But no lawless, mad max style, libertarian stuff! that means no open boarders.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) sure they can, that was kind of my point. They have to change - so they will. well i can't argue with that. some changes need to be made, that's for sure.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:38 PM) Study my ass. You want a top 5 list of the platform for 2016. the 2016 platform is a work in progress. i simply want everyone's voice to be heard. the free stuff list will be tallied and the best choices we go to a committee. we will then have a team of smart math nerds determine which list of free stuff will get us the most votes.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) lol Thats irrelevant. You can keep believing that its voting for free stuff, but the difference is social issues. As soon as Republicans get back to small govt on things like, drugs, sex and other sins, the quicker our country gets back to having some freedoms. The problem unfortunately is people are to busy telling me what I can and cant spend my money on. Why do they care if I spend a few thousand a year on drugs and abortions, its my damn money. well, frankly, the new GOP won't care what you spend your money on. get all the abortions and reefer you want. So can we count on your vote?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 12:27 PM) The markets want certainty. "you can't always get what you waannt"

Question: I am conducting a study and want to know which 5 special entitlements or free stuff would make you vote Republican the most. List a maximum of 5 please.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) Which is why you should keep an eye on Jeb Bush. His handlers were smart enough to keep him out of this election, but he could be tough in the future. i'll have to see his platform and see how much free stuff he is giving out to the 65% before i can comment on a Jeb Bush candidacy.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) "being hispanic" doesn't nullify the immigration issue. Actually having policy that Hispanics like will nullify the immigration issue. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/lar...-not-the-answer BTW, Obama won Cuban-Americans 49-47 in Florida. the establishment GOP thinks they can win by pandering to the 'latino' vote. it's the 2016 plan for them. but i doubt a establishment guy makes it out of the primary. our democracy is now in the failure state of people merely voting for the most free stuff to their group. they are not voting to have a sustainable country/society. with this in mind, i have a plan in which the GOP is now going to be giving away special entitlements to the hard working white middle class voter. simply winning 65% of this vote equals a landslide win. i have been composing a list of free stuff they will get. once they have those entitlements, it will be impossible to take them away and they will vote GOP 4eva.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 06:58 PM) Otoh i read that on a three page South Carolina ballot, there were exactly four democrats, two of them being Obama and Biden. The other races were unopposed republicans. Sounds like a Chicago ballot

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 05:35 PM) This, by the way, is something probably very upsetting to the GOP looking forward. Not only all the problems they will have that will worsen in terms of the makeup of the electorate... but I am sure they know that, no matter who was elected President, there is a very good chance the economy will get stronger at some point in the next few years. And with a Dem in the White House, that could spell big trouble for the GOP in 2014 Midterms and the 2016 General. Not to mention the GOP is defending a lot more Senate seats in 2014 than they were this year. The only thing that kept this from being a complete disaster, was that they happened to control most state legislatures in 2010-2012 when redistricting was occurring, which is why the House makeup stayed static. If not for that, they may have lost the house too. unlikely. after Clinton won his second term it was supposed to be 30 years of Democrats controlling the house, senate, and oval office. didn't work out that way. if the GOP plays it right, they can win again.

Lol stock market is down big after the election

it will be interesting to see the final popular vote

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 10:58 PM) I know one thing Nate Silver created and sucks today: PECOTA. I don't know much about PECOTA

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 10:46 PM) Practically everyone on this site made the same exact predictions. i think everyone pretty much knew Obama would win. But having a statistical model that got 49/50 in 2008 and 50/50 in 2012 is pretty dang good.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 10:44 PM) he is smarter... his polling models are pretty much perfect if he gets a perfect 332 prediction I'll send him an email apologizing on behalf of all you disgraceful doubters here at Soxtalk

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 10:30 PM) the real winner tonight? Nate Silver. predicted 332 as most likely result. Obama's gonna get? 332. he is the man

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 10:28 PM) Karl Rove is denying that Obama will win Ohio. He is INSISTING it shouldnt be called yet and Romney can/will still win. Mittens isn't conceding.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) Well, ok now...Obama won, all our problems are solved...right? RIGHT? first thing is a minimum 2% payroll tax increase on the middle class
