QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 09:32 PM) Well that and that we aren't "traditional Americans" aka white dudes, that isn't an exaggeration. The GOP needs to win White people by a large margin. The Romney wing of the party can't do it.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 04:58 PM) If by "pandering" you mean "not demonizing immigrants" then... But the Republicans really do have a demographic problem. For Mitt to win, he has to have huge margins with white males. Republican policies, rightly or wrongly, have alienated most others from the party. he pandered big time. If Romney loses, it's because of his neo-con ideals for a US world cop, big government spending, higher taxes, unlimited immigration / lawlessness, and constant pandering to people that won't vote for you no matter what. he was also the anti-american pro-outsourcing candidate. if Romney loses, it's the end of the neo-con liberal GOP. a true conservative will win the next election. don't worry about demographics, i have the perfect plan for a landslide win in 2016

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 5, 2012 -> 01:07 PM) Romney just got the most important endorsement: Jay Cutler Urlacher said he doesn't like to pay taxes. i take that as a Romney endorsement.

how would YOU fix the sox attendance woes?
QUOTE (GREEDY @ Nov 5, 2012 -> 07:37 PM) I attended 10 games in 2012. My reason for not attending more? I live in the VERY far south suburbs right off I-55. On a good night I can be to the Cell in 40 minutes. On a bad night it can take 120 minutes. The unexpected traffic tie-ups have forced me to turn going to a game into a major production. I can no longer get off work, grab the family and roll to a game on a Tuesday night with work/school on Wednesday morning. I've gotta take off work early, the kid's schedule needs to be cleared the next day etc. I know that "traffic" always will happen, and always has, but I just do not think it used to be this bad and especially this unpredictable. yea, i think traffic and parking costs are issues for a lot of people. but i can just take the train in so i have no excuse.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Nov 5, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) The GOP better hope that Nate Silver is the blubbering idiot they've tried to make him out to be. it's one of the very few things i'll be happy about if Romney wins.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 5, 2012 -> 04:07 PM) SHOULD THE STATE OF ILLINOIS PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE NORMAL COST OF PENSIONS FOR CHICAGO TEACHERS IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE STATE PAYS FOR THE NORMAL COST OF TEACHER PENSIONS IN EVERY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE WHICH WILL FREE UP LOCAL FUNDING THAT CAN BE INVESTED IN THE CLASSROOM? the question doesn't make much sense, or really give the voter an idea of what they are voting for. But the CTU was against it, so voted for it.
