— Ace This is officially old at this point, but I didn't see it widely linked. It's funny -- stay with it.
A guy I did GOTV with thinks it would be a good idea to bring Slurpees to the polling booths. Electioneering? Hey, man, it's just a Slurpee.
That is of course a SluShop.

Slurpee + wet T-shirt + Gillette + smokin' hot finish = Freedom?

At least in Connecticut.
I remember the "Kratos Fury" limited flavor Slurpees at 7/11. Very acidic and very "raw", but very good. And I got the Morpheus armor for my namesake.
I should have kept some Kratos Fury Slurpee mix or something for "dipping" in just 6 short days hence.

Don't have exact numbers yet but Rasmussen today will show Raese collapsing and falling behind in WV.
Hey Greg, how are those Toomey numbers you were harping about a few days ago working out?
Posted by: Ben at October 27, 2010 06:55 AM (wuv1c)
He could've easily said, "sippin' a soda," or "sippin a Coke,"
Drinking a coffee/Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts - anything else. Hadn't thought of it that way, but yeah.
Kids drink Slurpees/slushies too, maybe he was going for the 8-12 demo.

Greg, does it worry you that Soros not only pays for trolls like you, but also pays for "secret shoppers" to visit the same blogs and monitor those trolls' effectiveness? It should. Based on your performance here, I don't think you're getting a passing grade on your evaluation. Sorry, dude: no bonus for you.
Does anyone know where I can apply for a paying troll job?

I have a friend giving me a dozen free Slurpee coupons so I can give them to our GOTV headquarters to use as rewards for precincts walked Saturday.

And they're voting for Manchin now. What's the point?
If there was any hint of a "wave," WV would have flipped to the GOP since the race has been super close the whole way. But, as usual, the Republican fades as election day nears. Dems will be overjoyed to get out of this cycle with only 6-7 losses in the Senate.
Posted by: Greg at October 27, 2010 06:57 AM (huyI8)
I don't have exact numbers yet, but vote totals on November 2nd will show Manchin losing.

Obama's approval rating in WV is one of the worst in the nation. He is a huge drag on democrats there. They don't dislike Machin because he has done his best to distance himself, in fact, abjure Obama completely. Pro-life, not for cap and tax, suddenly against the health care bill (liar). However, he's still a dem and wv is not going to validate Obama by electing his party.

CA goner
CT goner
DE goner
FL yep
IL kirk by a nose
NV Angle better win by 4 to overcome fraud
PA Toomey by a nose
WA goner
WI Johnson narrowly wins
WV now a goner
So what is the big deal? This is not a wave or even a landslide.
Posted by: Greg at October 27, 2010 07:08 AM (huyI8)
So the already-blue states will remain blue, except for the ones the GOP takes from the Democrats.
It should be noted, of course, that you're consistently ignoring the overwhelming clobbering the Democrats are going to get in the House, in state legislatures and in governorships. I realize focusing on the Senate mitigates your pain, but ignoring the bigger picture makes you look foolish.

Iowahawk's parody is hysterical.
Obama picked the slurpee because it has no redeemable qualities and speaks to self indulgance.
Oops, gotta put the slurpee on the Biden list of things invented without govt intereference.

Older and more busted "Greg": If there was a wave, Rand Paul would be pulling away.
Old and busted "Greg": If there was a wave, Toomey would be pulling away.
New Hotness "Greg": If there was a wave, Raese would be pulling away.
Consistent Reliable "Greg": House of Representatives, Statehouses, State Legislatures? Never heard of 'em, QED, no wave.

Actually some do. There are some made with Crystal Lite. Let me warn you however, that they SUCK. I really wish they would come out with a diet coke version. If they did I would be a summer time addict.

New Hotness "Greg": If there was a wave, Raese would be pulling away."
Those are all true. In a "wave" election, Paul would never have been in a competitive race. And it took an idiotic ad from his opponent to open the race up.
The last 3 polls in PA have Toomey up 7, up 5, and a tie game. So he's up low single digits...is that a "wave?"
And Raese is not toast in WV. That's evidence of a "wave?"
But I realize now the only game in town for the GOP is the House, since the Senate races are breaking the wrong way (CT, CA, WA, WV) and gaining control is now impossible.
Posted by: Greg at October 27, 2010 07:26 AM (huyI8)
In Maine, the GOP has a decent shot to take over the Senate and the governor's mansion, and make inroads in the House. I think ME-1 is about to get a lot more competitive once the line is moved a tad further north.

Early last week, the polls had Scott Brown either behind in Massachusetts by 15 points, or EVEN. These polls all represented themselves to be suing the same "scientific" methodology.

According to Ras it's 49-46 for Manchin, within the MOE. It's a dead heat and this year if you're a Dem and you are in a dead heat....you're dead.

Posted by: Greg
Actually, the only thing that is 'now a goner' is Manchin's support for obamacare. Why is that? Because he and it are so groovy? Raese may win; he may not. The only credibe observation at this point is that Manchin is either lying or abandoning your Dear leader and obamacare.
Take pride in his and your intellectual dishonesty.

Greg why are you trying so hard? Who are you trying to convince? Life will go on after November 2nd. It is really unhealthy to place so much of your self worth in the outcomes of a half dozen senatorial elections. You and your friends suck. That is the collective opinion of the majority of voters. That opinion was formed over 20 months when time after time your friends spit in the face of the majority of Americans. You are going to get killed in the House, the governorships, the statehouses and yes even in the Senate.
You shouldn't be so concerned about who controls these institutions per se. You should be concerned about how your views are percieved as so radical and so at odds with the wishes of the majority that you are fighting for your political lives in places that should be given Democrat wins. That is going to have long term consequences, far beyond the results of November 2nd. If you can't come to grips with this reality you are in for a great deal of pain beyond that date.
