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. No, it's absolutely pandering. Romney's immigration plan isn't to kick every illegal out as soon as we find them. It's a pretty moderate position. But anything less than full amnesty is "demonizing" them apparently, because democrats have been great at making people associate any conservative with Sheriff Joe. This is why the GOP sucks. They don't combat this crap from liberals because of a fear of looking like mean oppressors. There's a tactful way of responding to "we don't want full amnesty and it's not because we want children who are victims of their parents crimes to die on the streets." But, they don't, because they think its' easier to pander to more white people about how the gays and fetus killing mobs are going to ruin the world. Again, lose those battles and think of the long-term war.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 04:43 PM) Maybe, its hard to tell. Basically youd need a Republican candidate who can deliver 1 big urban state. Given the current Republican platform they just are not going to get a lot of traction in major metropolitan areas. Id personally rather burn money on the street than let the govt tell me how to live my life socially. GOP always gets Texas. There's your urban state. They've been getting Florida, there's another. The fact is until the extreme right realizes it's better to lose the battles of gay marriage and abortion in order to win the war, they're going to get crushed. And it's going to be harder and harder as time goes by because Democrats are pandering like crazy to the Hispanic vote which is getting bigger and bigger.

Interesting that over the last week or so more have become "toss-ups," at least according to realclearpolitics. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/20...ollege_map.html Still Obama with the 1-3% lead in most of those. I'd be surprised if Romney won, but I don't think it would be unheard of. There's a lot of close states and if more people than expected show up he could easily win a few of those big states. Edit: It's also pretty sad when you look at how much less people are voting (or expected to vote) for Obama than 4 years ago. A competent Republican candidate would have cleaned house in this election. Unfortunately, you have to sell your soul to the devil to get elected as the GOP candidate, even if you truly are more moderate.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 04:05 PM) The polling analysts/aggregators show a strong likelihood of an Obama win. Two of those have Obama winning Florida. That's not a foregone conclusion at this point is it?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) hell at least lose IL, and quite frankly why wouldnt you take advantage of early voting if you are that pregnant. Here is from Romney's camp: Thats pretty optimistic. Id think theyd just be happy winning. They think he has a good chance in PA. That'd help a lot, especially if he can pull in Florida and maybe Ohio/Michigan. They've been saying all along that their internal polling is more favorable for him. I dunno how to take that really. If I were a campaign manager, I wouldn't fudge the numbers positively, I'd be more negative. "Voters, we're going to lose unless you get to the polls!"

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) lol fox is hilarious I'm sure its an exit poll question referring to their undecided status prior to actually voting. So far those undecideds have decided 50% each way.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 03:06 PM) Chicago woman votes while going into labor She's going to be upset when Romney loses by a lot.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 10:53 AM) Obama needs to lock him up in a windowless room until midnight tonight. Hey, he's working on his election campaign in 2016. Leave him be!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 10:50 AM) I wonder how that works with electioneering laws? I'm sure it's considered a permanent structure so it's within the rules. But you know whoever set up that polling station put that machine there on purpose.

Lol: (from Fox News)

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 10:42 AM) I hope this image can change the mind anyone who considered voting for Romney Lol, that's great. (you know that's fake right?)

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 07:42 AM) Does anyone know well/use ESPN3 often? My questions are is there any way to record a game on ESPN3 and if not, do they have replays of all games of just select ones? I thought all of the games went into their on demand listings. That's the way it used to be anyway, for a period of time after the event.
