Clinton 2 Bush 0

What planet do you live on??

Here on planet Earth, the score is:

Clinton 1
Bush 2

Michale

Clinton vs Bush is really depressing and it'll be brutal for that clan when the score is:

Clinton 2 Bush 0

Have they really thought this through? They should wait for George P. It's not their turn.

I just gotta ask...

How can so much promise in 2008 degenerate to so much animosity a measly 6 years later???

Michale

yea, and they drink blood and pledge fealty to Lucifer too..

Gods, it's incredible that there really are such fanatics in the world...

Michale

I hope that the Dems have learned their lesson on this subject, but I'm not optimistic. There is absolutely no upside to even talking to Republicans about "fixing" SS. The Republicans want to destroy it and they want the Dems to do their dirty work for them. The Dems should not collaborate with them. All that chained CPI talk was one of Obama's biggest mistakes.

At least for someone who has a "morbid desire to face the end of the world.."

:D

Michale

Anyone wanna throw an ELECTION NIGHT/DEMOCRATS ARE GONNA GET CREAMED party on Tuesday night?? :D

Michale

Now THERE is an exciting game...

:D

Michale

Yea, that's been one of my concerns...

The other one is I have been turning away customers who come in for FnRs with Win8.. More and more recently. That's $$$ that I am just letting walk out my shop... So I figured I better learn the damn OS...

I'm still looking for a good 8 bit loader so I can run my legacy version of Mathematica on a modern machine. I've got a dedicated old beast for that and a few other programs, running something pre XP! No internet, no updates, no malware. Downside, my office is very cluttered.

I have been wanting to pick up an AMIGA 1000 just for old time's sake...

Wife says no way until I clean my room.. :^(

What I really really want for Christmas is a state of the art machine that can run some of the newest combat flight simulators! Planes with challenging handling and machine guns! Mig Alley was flawed greatness! Battle of Britain highly flawed near greatness.

I never have time for games or simulations any more...

I just dusted off the old BATTLE STATIONS series on a slow day... Plus I have dove back in to the fun and excitement of killing 75+ million Russians in DEFCON.

Now THERE is an exciting game...

That will go down in history as the STOOPIDIST comment ever uttered by a politician..

That ranks right up there on the stoopidity scale with Obama's "You have a successful business?? You didn't build that" stoopidity...

Do Leftist politicians have less brain cells than Right Wing politicians???

I've been running W8 on one of my desktop machines for a long time. No problems, no clear advantage other than overall compatibility with other devices. MS will probably drop support for W7 as soon as they think they can get away with it.

Republicans are clear favorites, but I think you're a bit overconfident. Democrats are actually getting some good news from the polls, but it's just no where near enough to tilt the overall odds in their favor, or even get them into the 50:50 range. The central tendency of the NYT, 538 and HuffPO is vibrating near 60:40 on any given day, advantage Republicans. Even WAPO is giving the Dems a 6% chance! But, WAPO is essentially putting a lot of faith in who is ahead in individual state polls. That approach leaves no genuinely competitive states at all. That seems highly risky to me.

Assuming 7-10 competitive races, there are still a lot of plausible paths to Democrats holding the senate. I think CW has described these paths quite well. At least one path involves a runoff election. There are also a lot of "icebergs" threatening polling outfits, who still can't adequately cope with the rise of smart phones. Or demographics and ground games.

According to my analysis, the Big 4 don't seem to be calling this cycle as a "wave election." They seem to be treating the individual states as behaving very independently. If they are wrong, my models suggest Democrats are in a substantially better position than they think: maybe as high as 55:45 advantage Republicans.

As you've said many times we'll see...but just possibly well after election day.

Interesting take on how Reid, as much as Obama, has royally scrooed over Democrats running for re-election....

Can't argue with the logic...

Michale

Yet, Democrats are still going to lose. :D And I am willing to wager that..

You?? :D

For the Republicans, I predict headlines for the early "debates" are going to reflect the "one question per candidate" format.

The problem with your "predictions" is that they are based on "wish-casting" and ideology rather than reality...

The GOP is going to be in a really good position to get things done...

Add to that the fact that the GOP doesn't need a Supermajority to be effective, as Democrats do...

All these factors, plus Obama's well-known and well-acknowledge propensity to be completely and utterly incompetent.....

Well, I can't see how ANYONE can say 2016 will belong to Democrats...

Followed by more headlines featuring an influx of millions cash to candidate X from Sheldon Adelson, or some other mogul with money to burn.

Funny how ya'all go after the rich GOP'ers with such disdain, but always fail to mention the rich Democrats that do the same thing with Dem candidates..

Why is that???

As much as ya'all would like to believe it, it's the Demcorat Party who is the party of the rich, not the GOP....

On a completely un-related note.....

I just took the plunge and "upgraded" to Windows 8.. I never could see the logic in upgrading to a touch-screen based OS without having a touch-screen system. But talking with some knowledgeable people, I decided to see what it's like...

So far, it's not too shabby... Not nearly as big of a change as I thought.. At least that's my initial impressions..

Anyone else recently take the plunge??

Michale

I think Onwards to 2016: The Democrats is going to look uncanny, but that's the easy one.

For the Republicans, I predict headlines for the early "debates" are going to reflect the "one question per candidate" format. Smart candidates (or trainable and well coached candidates) are going to anticipate the pitch and try and knock it out of the park, Newt Style. At least one or two otherwise marginal candidates will pull it off, resulting in headlines roughly along the lines of "Candidate X surges to unexpected lead following successful debate." Followed by more headlines featuring an influx of millions cash to candidate X from Sheldon Adelson, or some other mogul with money to burn. These one hit wonder debaters will percolate for a few weeks, muddying the waters to the detriment of candidates like Christie, Bush or Romney.

And they are well on their way to losing the Hispanic vote...

It's not too difficult to postulate a scenario where an international crisis will spark after the mid-terms.. A crisis of such magnitude that Obama will be forced to postpone and likely cancel the Amnesty For Criminals push...

If this likely scenario comes to pass, Democrats will be an endangered species in government after the 2016 elections..

Michale

Freudian slip??

That should read : Yea, I know.. I know... I shouldn't piss all over ya'all's parade... :D

My bust

Michale

If the GOP turns this country around and brings this country back from the brink that Demcorats have been trying so desperately to push this country over....

2016 might just be another banner year for the GOP.... :D

Yea, I know.. I know... I should piss all over ya'all's parade... :D

Michale

The Democrat Thumpin' that's about to happen is too painful to bear..

Better to simply ignore it and think about a possibly better time of it in 2016... :D
