While We Wait: Part 4

If you take the electoral map from 2004, and change Ohio to the Democratic side, then the Democrat wins. This is considered the most likely outcome.

BUT if McCain manages to win New Hampshire in that situation, then McCain wins.

This race will be very tight. While I doubt it will be 269-269, the margin of victory could easily be less than 10 electoral votes.

I seem to remember welfare reform being one of Clinton's accomplishments, primarily through cooperation with the Republican Congress. Dereliction of Duty portrays a pretty damning internal picture of the Clinton culture inside the White House, though.

Also, I do believe that Ohio has been on the winning side for the past 10 election, FWIW. [/random useless fact]

I actually see that being a major issue and would really split the country. If this happened do you think that congressmen should vote on who they think is best for the job, with the popular vote, or with their party?

If it came down this I would believe the best course of action would be to go with the popular vote so the country is not split like with Gore Vs. Bush. We do not need that right now. Also, the 2010 census is coming up and also on the same website is a list of what states will likely gain and lose electoral votes. How do you think this will alter future presidential campaigns?

A single good deed still does not a saint make.

I'll put it another way: probably for every one thing Clinton did right, he did one wrong, and didn't do something else. He is in no way deserving of the praise heaped upon him, and personally I was happy when he was blasting Obama and peeing away his credibility in a mad dash to catch up with America's worst recent President, Jimmy.

Which democrat will get Texas, you think?

I like the one about Vietnam better, the one by H.R. McMaster, a man that I have actually met, back when I lived at NTC (lived on the other side of the cul-de-sac). He's now on Petraeus' "elite Iraq team". Pretty cool guy, actually.

...but your book is nice too.

As for Texas, IMHO it is way too close to call still. Momentum does work in quiz bowl, though, so it very well could be valid in politics.

 

[Angst]

They had to post and ask.

That's honestly a quite early time to get depressed at. Do you have a way you can contact a psychiatrist, and are you sure it's a depression?

Obama's going to do well in the Caucuses, though, and Clintion will need to win big there anyway.

Don't you hate when the media does something like this? They are not only endangering Prince Harry but also his fellow soldiers. Terrorists use the internet to you stupid reporters.

Oh, that is just stupid. Milia will know where he is.

I feel none of the candidates are really showing any 'change' in America from their policies. Its either a movement towards what's already there (State healthcare and schools, etc.) or promising to do the inevitable. (Withdraw from Iraq, etc.)

The only candidates I really found promising change was Ron Paul, making the government smaller (While others are making it bigger), and I think another candidate whom I've forgotten.

Well, if Obama follows through on his movement for government transparency, that'd be pretty swell.

Ron Paul? *bursts out laughing*

 

[Azale]

Ron Paul is a closet racist with some really stupid ideas.

Meh, its not like everyone isn't racist in some way. Smaller government would actually be better for us.

Does everyone endorse David Duke in their newsletters?

Smaller government would be nice, but Paul has some crazy ideas to get it done. Abolish the IRS? Re-adopt the gold standard?

 

[Luckymoose]

I seriously wish I didn't have to pay income taxes. Or at least not the current ones.

 

[Disenfrancised]

Ron Paul? *bursts out laughing*

I saw a good quote on another forum - "Ron Paul would bring change to America, much like Anakin Skywalker bringing balance to the force..."

And like Melman is destroying our wills slowly. Right carmen?
