Open Thread wth 1983 graphics, along with new Open Thread rules
— CAC

You've earned an open thread and an MSPaint map again.
Updated our frontrunner, Generic Republican, using the recent polling and PVI stats, for June:

I don't know what is more depressing though. My skills with MS Paint, or that this is where we stand at 9% unemployment.

New Open Thread Rules:
No discussions about Weiner, bacon, hobos, Ace, myself, my maps, each other, the dog you saw vomiting in the front yard, broken glass, or bad music.
NO obligatory 80s references, snark, commentary, or pseudotrolling.

No discussions about anyone whose name rhymes with Nailin', Gomnee or Dawventi, or Christina Henricks.

No comments by anyone with an I, O, S, or T in your name.

No Jeffs, Jeffes, Jeifs, Jiffs, or Goffs.

No comments fewer than 16 characters or more than 30.

No haikus, poems, sonnets, parody songs, parody sonnets, or parody-within-parody.

Absolutely no discussions of fat people, fat people falling down, or fat people falling down ontop of each other. This includes discussions of using fat people crashing into each other at high velocities to create anti-matter.

No zombie references.

Last rule- ignore everything I said and hijack the hell out of this.

Every Republican candidate should begin every speech with this question!

"Are you better off now than you were in 2008?"

And bask in the glory of a resounding answer.

NO!

Generic Ballot+PVI/Partisan advantage per Cook and Gallup.

Obama now losing in WaPo polling 46-49 v Romney, 43-45 v Generic nationally.

Broken down using PVI, GR holds all 2008R votes comfortably +Indiana and North Carolina and 1 EV in Nebraska.

Per PVI/GallupPartisan application to the generic ballot, lean R in New Hampshire, Virginia, Ohio, Florida.

Per PVI/GP application to generic ballot, PA, WI, MI, IA, CO, NV all tossups (<4% margin either way).

Per same application Minnesota, Maine, New Mexico and Washington all moved to "lean".

I applied roughly the same formula when doing congressional projections. Not perfect, but in general the states trend in a particular direction depending on national mood.

I like that Michigan is a tie. That's where most of my relatives are.

The State went Republican but it's nice to think that they'll vote Democrat in the next election to spread the Democratic economic miracle that is Detroit to the rest of the nation. I used to defend Detroit in my more liberal days. Now, I openly admit it's a sewer that needs to be flushed.

As I recall, as cable emerged in the 1980's, Detroit was one of the US cities where most of Canada got the American feed meaning that most Canadians saw Murder City USA as the average American city.

We win it. Short answer.

We win by flipping ND, NE, MT, VA (51 seats) and MO. Good shot at flipping WI as well, less chance but still possible to flip MI,OH,FL,NM.

Astronomical-yet-still-possible chance we flip NY,MN,PA,HI and get a filibuster-proof majority.

93 That's weird- North Alaskawaii is red, and South Alaskawaii is blue.

And yes, it is depressing that with +9 pct stated unemployment we're not beating the shiite out of the donks. I'll chalk that up to the mfm keeping a lid on that/making excuses for stutters.

Given that the real unemployment is closer to 20 than 10 pct, and the front page headline of the US owing 62 trillion in future obligations on THE USA TODAY, think that things might be taking a bad turn for those in the surreality based community. Which is good for our team. Yay.

There is one candidate who would be Obama's ultimate nightmare but he will not enter the race or win the primary.

But he would make Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Maine all Tossup-to-Red.

His hopes at a 2nd term would bleed out after the Eastern Time Zone states kick in.

101 As Ace and I slowly cooked our bacon-wrapped weiner, as typical hobo dinner, my mind was wrapped tighter than Christina Hendricks' bustier.

A quick look at my MS-DOS map, with it's dog-vomit graphics quality, and I soon crumpled it between my fists like broken glass, or that CD I had of Glass Tiger's "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone". Balin and Gimli ate Good 'n' Plenty, non-plussed to be in the company of an Ewok and a Moor.

Jefe Basho had scribbled this in the corner of the map:

So silent the webcam
So loud the teeming horde
Breitbart

Then he sang out:

Zombie Chris Farley and Zombie John Candy
Fought to the death as to who was the dandy
With Farley the bumbler and Candy the quipper
Things fell apart like Rep Weiner's pants zipper

"Those aren't two pillows"" and "Tommy want wing-y"
Couldn't erase the first sight of that thing-y
Try as they might, the comics did fail
To distract the poor congressman, in want of a nail

#108

I'm not using state-by-state.

I am taking the generic results from Rasmussen, applying the PVIs from Cook, and the Gallup Partisan Advantage data from earlier this year, and getting this result.

State-by-state polling is currently dominated by PPP, and is registered voters only. I will start to use those once a few other firms start contributing regularly.

Posted by: CAC at June 07, 2011 10:18 AM (JEVge)

106 OK, I was just wondering. PPP is a Dem outfit as well so I don't trust them on "published" polls.

107 When Oblather aka: JED was elected I often paraphrased the quote that "It took the lunacy of the Cater Administration to set up the glory and success of the Reagan Administration. Now with Obama in office we have only 4 years (if he makes it that long) to set up another Conservative Revolution that will make the last one look tame by comparison." So far since then I have only 3 things to ad: 1) If G.W.Bush had commited any of the legal infractions Obama has, he would have been impeached repeatedly, ad nauseum. 2) Not only was I correct with that quote, based on Obama's performance both economically and internationally, we should expect the second comming of Christ as the next lead Conservative Candidate for POTUS in 2012....but we're still waiting for him to show up and 3) We are well past the point where a concerted effort should be made to identify and boycott the mouth pieces of the left, aka: the Make Believe Media and their lies. Our economy is already in shambles. We need to economically shut down MSNBC, CBS, ABC and the NYTimes and their editors and their ilk. I respect free speech as much as anyone, but I also understand the destructive nature of propaganda and lies which is exactly what these leftists keep preaching. Free Speech? Fine. Let them prattle to a market that understands it doen't have to buy that sort of crap anymore....and then let them see how long they can stay in business. Obviously.

Let me die. I can never regain my lustre, and my tubes are going off like popcorn( roll with it). And the colors. Those colors haunt me.

@Vic

PPP has earned that skepticism, though their last-minute polling is very, very accurate.

A general rule is IF R>D per PPP,RAS,SUSA, R wins. All three aren't wrong together*

*Exception- CO-Senate-2010.

Yeah, I think all of them get real accurate in the very last days so that they can try to preserve their credibility in the future. Generally with most of the polls I just add 5% to the Republicans and it comes out about right. That is all except the newspaper polls. They are so bad it is hard to fix them.

On the CO score I seem to recall an article recently about them finding outright fraud during the election that cost the Republicans the election. And it was from an official source. I can't remember where that was though.

Something about 20,000 people who shouldn't have voted voted anyway, I believe.

Posted by: CAC at June 07, 2011 11:52 AM (lap0q)

118 Yeah that was it, but I think it was governor and not Senate. But, I guess those same 20K would have voted in both contests.

119 Beth, why the pessimism? They way things stand, it's the pubs to lose.

Re-parse that. Come back when you see the problem.
