storm Commented on Defeated Republicans Lick Their Wounds and Debate Comeback Strategy by eades

2008-11-08T18:05:14Z

hoping for one party rule is misguided.
the country would be better off with a reasonable opposition party.
a better (preference based) voting system would help a lot, so that parties can split without becoming totally irrelevant.

from my limited data i think 98% is too high. Black right wing evangelicals are, inexplicably maybe, a non-empty set that won't vote blue.

no. they are not exclusive of each other.
it was positive, emotional, and uplifting. it was also propaganda. although i find creepy a bit of an exaggeration in this case.

storm Commented on Early Voting by FlyOnTneWall

2008-10-27T12:29:24Z

i wonder about party identification of 'Rush' democrats. I suspect most don't tell pollsters that they are dems, but an early vote will be marked at a dem voting. i wonder if the effect is enough to make things look significantly more one-sided than reality.

I won't defend his Bush Loyalty, especially his UN speach.
But still, you give him far less credit than he deserves.

storm Commented on Dump Michele Bachmann! Outrage at Minnesota Republican's Hardball Comments Fuels Opposition Effort by eades

2008-10-19T16:18:12Z

i was happy to see Colin Powell just call out her message. If the republican party was closer to his image than Bachmann's then it would be much more difficult to decide who to vote for.

if obama was running a campaign like mccain's I don't think i would bother voting. If i were a down ballot republican, i would not feel comfortable right now.
