JCC OFFICIAL - US Elections pre-primary thread

why would you want to skip this part of the american political system?

that'd be like scraping the frosting off your **** sandwich before you ate it

 

Romney is such a coward, even Frothy's statement about Rush were stronger.

My reactions:

1. WTF?!?!? Scary girl killing a fish, and yelling, is what you want to be seen as?
2. Obviously the Fish needed MORE water
3. So is he saying "the economy is dead, accept it"? the party of despair
4. I wonder how the economy fell to begin with...
5. Go away... please, just go away

 

I would like to direct you to this article, third letter down.

 

I'd endorse the guy too were he my leader

News from the frontiers of minority outreach.

lol

 

That's good news, especially in light of Time's cover story last week about how the Latino vote will determine the presidency. Hopefully he'll tackle immigration once he's reelected.

EDIT: You know...

 

Wow, that's great

 

Hahahaha. Well, I've been saying for a long time the GOP was shooting itself in the head, forget foot, with the Latino vote because of the Tea Party fanatics.

They just went over this on Morning Joe and said it was a fatal flaw unless the eventual nominee can address it somehow. Mexican Mitt to the rescue!

 

"I played racquetball with the King of Spain once."

 

ahahahahaah eat mitt, ohio mittheads, santorum surgin all up in this piece

and if that weren't hilarious enough, willard "mitt" romney and ron paul were the only ones on the ballot in the CLOSED (no democrat saboteurs here) virginia primary and romney only managed sixty percent (against ron "friggin" paul). the virginia gop kind of shrugged its collective shoulders and said "gee, i guess that autistic rich dude is better than some embarrassing libertarian perennial also-ran, if that's the only other option..."

meanwhile poot blingrich got georgia on lockdown, and santorum took tenessee and oklahoma, leaving mitt with only virginny, vermont and the gimmie state of massachusetts to his name this sub-par tuesday

 

I'm somewhat amused that Oklahoma looks like it will be won by Santorum with only 1 delegate gained over Romney and Gingrich both. Really a negated win.

 

Shouldn't the thread title be updated?



Other people will analyze Super Tuesday. I'll say it's mostly more of the same, the only surprise (for the pundits) i that Santorum is doing better than he did in Michigan (which was close, and Romney's home state).



Just wanted to post here that Dennis Kucinich has LOST his primary to another very liberal Representative, Marcy Kaptur. She will go on to fight Joe the Plumber in the general election. It's a small political world after all.

 

So stupid OH couldn't have swung Rick's way to add to the chaos?
Mitt once again highlights his weakness with his victories. He outspends Rick 4 to 1 and wins the state by a percentage point.

 

Super Tuesday went as I thought it would.

Frothy really shot himself in the foot by not winning MI. If he had won, he likely would have had momentum to win Washington and carry Ohio along with the other 3 states he won on Super Tuesday. That may have been fatal for Mitt since the next likely state he wins isn't till April.

What's really helping Santorum is how popular he is with Democrats. He won Democrats in Ohio better than Republicans or Independents. Of the 5% of Democrats voting in Ohio, 47% of them went for Santorum and only 27% went for Romney. Similar to how in Michigan, 9% of the voters were Democrats, and Santorum won 53% of their votes, compared to only 18% going to Romney. Even in Tennessee, a state Santorum won, he won the votes of Democrats at a higher percentage (41%) than Republicans or Independents (38%). Vermont's really the only state that he didn't win the votes of Democrats (of the primary states that have exit polling data available)

 

There are Democrats that like the crazy bible thumper more than the mindless business drone?

 

There's no reason why democrats wouldn't be for Santorum over Romney.

 

I know what you're saying and nothing is certain but Santorum has far less chance than Romney of actually winning in the general. Also, the longer the primary fight goes, the better for Obama regardless of who gets the nomination because they have to burn through that much more cash and have less time to gameplan for Obama.
