Mitt Romney's 'Red Rocks' Ad, Modified
— rdbrewer

Here is the original. I swapped out the audio with the greatest victory music evah, "Flying Home" from the movie Kick Ass. The music fit almost perfectly. Just a couple of tweaks to the video. It's below the fold.

@Tmi3rd thought it would be a good idea to put up inspiring music and scenes to get people charged up for the election. So here's a little of both. If anyone has anything uplifting, this might be a good thread for it. If not, open thread.

Goosebumps? Huh? Come on.

We're gonna win this thing. Obama had his chance. He hates America anyway. Time to give Mitt a try.

Any Keystone staters who can't make it to the Mitt rally today, WPHT 1210 AM is covering it live. The hosts are conservative, so it's less likely that the crowd size will be underreported.

When the story of this campaign is written there will be two points of inflection.

The first debate where we found out we could believe in Mitt.

And Red Rocks where Mitt learned he could believe in us.

15 I don't know about you guys but since McCain had won the nomineeship in 2008, I honestly think that was the best move. The country at the time was clueless and was going for vote for anyone but who resembled Bush and that was McCain at the time. Romney taking this spot and over the disgust of Democrat governing for the last 4 years is just the right timing. Yes, it's unfortunate that we had to pay 4 trillion for that lesson.

21 People in VA will know, and that's all that really counts. I disagree. This is a gigantic national story. Wilder's been hinting this for some time. He doesn't really care about his own political career, as far as I can tell. Wilder was the first First Black Whatever. It was a big deal when he got elected and, as far as I can tell, he was actually competent at the job.

22 I got nuthin'. Except for 2,000,000 people in NJ, PA, NY, and CT still without power. Then there's the little item of 'Sandy - The Sequel' which is gonna work its way up the coast on Tuesday night into Wednesday as a nor'easter and punch the same area in the 'nads again. Since sequels traditionally suck, it's not likely to be as bad as the original, but the potential for real low  barometric pressure in some of the models suggest serious flooding for the same areas.

Hopefully I talked a guy at church into voting for Romney instead of himself as write-in. He knew O was awful but didn't seem to know much about Romney. Since he's retired military I reminded him of Benghazi and since he's disabled from a car accident I told him I completely understood about fear of losing government payments, but that (at least in my case) gettting the government out of the economy would mean I didn't *need* the government money.

 

I also reminded him that Romney will need a definite popular win to overcome the margin of fraud and for the Senate to flip R so he doesn't spen the next 4 years fighting Reid who seems to hate him personally and would delight in blocking important initiatives just to thwart him, no matter the cost to the nation.

I don't know about that - but I'll bet he's the last Black one. America will be afraid to vote that way for a long, long time. The man (and I use that term loosely) has hidden behind his race, aided and abetted by the rest of the libs and the complicit media. It's a crying shame.

Yes, I think people will be so stunned and appreciative at having the largest economy in the world run by people who understand economics that Ryan will win in a cakewalk in 2020.  The last remaining shriveled bits of Liberal carrion will still be in the universities and the media, but, they will be trivialized in the face of overwhelming competence and results.

I care for a disabled loved one, it's only been the past two years that there have been any significant cuts to his services. From Clinton through Bush his benefits were never in jeopardy. If he even wanted to get Section 8 housing now, he'd have to wait 3 years, the system is so clogged by the newly poor.

 

The millions of jobs created in a Romney economy will deliver more revenues to the Treasury. The disabled will actually benefit from a Romney presidency, especially if he can gut Obamacare. They get shoestring medical care as it is. If Obamacare stands pat, they'll be the first ones sent to the Soylent green processing plant.

48 Just got a note from a friend on Staten Island, she said don't believe the MFM. There was no free gas supplied by DoD to get these people out of a jam. Oh, the fuel trucks were there alright, but when they saw the line for gas was 5 miles long, they changed course and said the gas was only for emergency vehicles. Ever see a five mile long line of REALLY pissed off people? She also said that it took them a couple days to get their heads around it, but now they are helping themselves. High schools, churches, restaurateurs, Mom and Pop retailers, they are all making things happen without government. Her final parting words? "Fuck that liar Sebelius and that goes double for that dyke Napolitano. Nothing they have told us has been the truth yet." Color me: shocked.

Posted by: Sean Bannion at November 04, 2012 09:49 AM (lygSP)

49 One of the things that really comes out at these rallies is that both Romney and Ryan really *like* America and Americans. They're not blind to imperfections, but they're not blind to the wonderful and amazing things about this country  like President "Fundamental Change" is. It's a breath of fresh air how clearly they show that they trust the American people to get the nation back on track if the government gets out of the way.

Agreed. I was angry at him for quitting the day after CO went for him in a big way last time and was afraid he'd be another McCain. I'm so happy to have been proved wildly wrong and have become ever more convinced that *if* a team can pull the nation out economically it's Romney/Ryan. I wish I were more positive that it *is* possible  but,  either way Mitt's the only guy from the primaries with the tools to at least give it a good try.

80 Color me in the blowout camp.  We need a mandate, not a lukewarm victory and we need the coattails to drag Republicans across the line in the House and Senate.  The nominations and EASY of Sotomayor and Kagan were terrifying.  Sotomayor had been overturned on appeals in the plus 70% range and is clearly incompetent to even preside over traffic court and yet we will have to deal with her dumb opinions for decades.  Kagan was a big part of Obamacare's actual drafting and yet, she did not recuse herself.  Then we find out they somehow got to Roberts and he folds like a broken ironing board.  If we have 8 years of Romney and 8 years of Ryan, we can get the SCOTUS back on reasonable grounds.

81 **Breaking News** Proud to report to the Moron Horde that my year long efforts to convince my wife to vote Romney have succeeded! Life Long Dem going to the Rs for the first time in her life. The key? The newspaper editorials, promoted in subtle fashion by yours truly. The preference cascade is alive and well, people. We are going to win this thing. I am in Tampa visiting friends this weekend (live in the Midwest). Went to a Gators game in Gainesville. 90% of the signs, buttons,etc. are for Romney. All good vibes.

82 I no longer think the election is going to be an easy win for Obama. I have to believe that our side has to be more enthused to vote on Tuesday. It would really be a shocker if our side doesnt turn out like we did in 2010.  Perhaps a little concern about Indies and more so "undecideds". People who havent been sure over the last month or so seem like people who just dont pay attention. But if they lean Romney in the end, which id like to think will be the case, we should win without much of a nail-bitter.

I dont like how some polls are still close, even ones using just a D+2 sample. In my mind, its hard to get around how it can even be close at this point, but it is what it is I suppose.

Exactly my feelings.  I was sure that Mitt was another weak-kneed Republican guy would be another McCain.  I was wrong.  I was very wrong and I apologize to Mr. Romney for not supporting him in the primaries. 

The day he picked Paul Ryan, I knew the man was dead serious about fixing this country.  I have been so impressed with everything he has done these last 6 months or so. What a fine fine man.

Whatever happens (and God willing we will have victory) I am confident that everything that COULD be done, HAS been done.

He's left it all on the field.  So very impressive.

87 I'm uncomfortable with the emotionalism in the ad. I recognize that in myself. I distrust the pull of emotions. It feels like triumphalism or something. I don't think I'm the only one like that. I think it's a conservative thing. I want my resolution to be fueled by reason. Right? But I want the triumph too. Triumph! Right? I've been doing phone banking and sometimes people want to talk. They want to tell you what they think even when you're not asking. I had one old lady rant at me against Obama and then start bawling in big sobbing gasps and it just about broke me. Mostly I hear a lot of determination. A lot of anger toward Obama. Broken glass voters aren't triumphalists. They aren't excited about riding the tide of victory. They're determined, no matter the outcome, to cast their vote. And I think... I think they NEED the goosebumps and the vision of victory. The video is AWESOME.

Let 'em compare. Obama was supposed to be the cool, smart, competent one, and Bush the drooling idiot. Remember?

The correct response is, "So you're saying that Obama's level of competence is the same as a drooling idiot, right? I agree."

Hopefully, someday in the very near future, science will find a cuure for liberalism.

Exactly. I'm not poor, although the Aid to Dependant Children certainly helps a lot, but under O it's only a matter of time. Romney/Ryan have made it *very* clear that their job is to get government out of the way of normal law-abiding people trying to provide for themselves and their families. This very much frees up both private charity money and government assistance for those who *truly* need it. You're also right that under Ocare the disabled, and elderly, are first to the knackers which is a sick perversion of American ideals.

99 Has there been anything further on voting machines?  I would love to hear an explanation on how in the world we are using voting machines that need to be calibrated, as if they are slot machines in vegas.

There is no reasonable explanation for machines switching someones vote, unless (a) its intentional or (b) the machines are built by morons. 

There is no way that a voting machine can not be built that would prevent automatic vote switching from happening. They can be built with a 100 percent accuracy rate. That is a fact. So forgive me for being extremely troubled that the powers that be, even allow the current machines to be used in the first place.

I'm just wondering whether some of the people in Staten Island should be getting the heck out of there instead of waiting for relief to come to them. I don't remember the timing of such things after Katrina and I haven't heard anything about people leaving at all this time. Not that the two storms and their effects are exactly the same or anything...

Romney Campaign Political Director Rich Beeson made a stunning prediction today on FOX News Sunday. Beeson told Chris Wallace, “There’s going to be a widespread repudiation of the Obama Administration. And Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan will be elected the next president and vice president of the United States. And I don’t think we’ll have to wait very long to get it… I’m saying that Pennsylvania and Minnesota and Michigan are not past the 270 as Mr. Axelrod would like to purport. Those are past the 300. This is going to be a big election. And Governor Romney is going to win.” The Romney internal polling must be off the charts! http://tinyurl.com/a6vrkjs This is all I need to hear.

Katrina versus Sandy.

In Katrina, Bush begged Governor Blanco to declare a disaster area 24 HOURS before Katrina hit to mobilize the Guard and Federalize the operation.

By the end of the first day, Navy and Coast Guard choppers were rescuing people stranded by the storm surge (Katrina).

Over 1500 people were killed in Katrina.

Although there was incredible amounts of storm surge damage in Mississippi, the networks focused on New Orleans, and the story should have been about the incompetence and corruption that was the cause of the levee failures.  Levees that were built years before under Democrat political management, with local contractors skimming millions of dollars from Federal money paid to create levee safety.

The National Weather service has been projectiong Sandy for days.  It appears in aftermath little was done to evacuate people from vulnerable storm surge areas (like Staten Island), and it appears the pre-positioning of emergency gear and rations was inadequate, to say the least.

President Gutsy Call was right on top of this one.  And his lackeys in the Media are there to protect his flanks.

Found this Nov 1 column by former Gov. Doug Wilder that is reproduced here by Reuters.  It neither endorses nor rejects Obama although it certainly doesn't praise him.  Why can't some black folks show some balls.

Voting in an election that matters

By L. Douglas Wilder November 1, 2012

Every four years, presidential nominees tell voters that this election is the most important of our lifetimes. Such proclamations are largely hyperbole.

In 2012, however, it might be warranted. This election is consequential.

During the next four years, the nation will have to face issues of debt, taxes and fiscal stability that will imprint our grandchildrenÂ’s futures and beyond. National and homeland security have received less attention during this election than in the previous few, but they always are an international or national incident away from dominating our consciousness in ways we canÂ’t anticipate.

And issues surrounding inclusion, equality and fairness can’t ever be forgotten for long. Otherwise our essential character as a country — the very essence of the American experiment — will be endangered.

The past decade, particularly the past four years or so, have put all of those matters at a tipping point — to borrow a phrase from writer Malcolm Gladwell — during the next four years. It matters whether voters choose Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney or President Barack Obama to address them.

The classic question, “Are we better off than we were four years ago,” leaves a mixed answer for many people I meet when traveling around Virginia and the country. The grand symbol of that fact is the economic growth numbers released this past week. The projection was for roughly 1.7 percent growth, but the statistics actually came in at 2 percent.

The Obama campaign trumpets the numbers as better than expected. The Romney campaign notes they are lower than promised four years ago. Both are right.

I have campaigned for and supported the president in the past, and many people now want to discuss his job performance with me. They often note that Obama ran as a moderate — and that is the man they threw their support behind in 2008. But some look back and say that he has governed as a left-of-center liberal who did not keep the focus squarely on jobs and economic recovery.

Is that group of independent-minded voters enough to swing VirginiaÂ’s 13 electoral votes away from Obama on Tuesday? The race is so close, we will have to wait until November 6 for a definitive answer. But for a state Obama may need to win, that uncertainty after almost four years on the job cannot be a great comfort to his campaign operatives.

The Republicans endured a bad nominating process. Yet in the end, they seem to have chosen a credible candidate that many Virginians tell me they would feel fairly comfortable with in the Oval Office. Democrats counted on using ad hominem attacks to make Romney seem too unworthy and too unsteady to be the countryÂ’s chief executive because of the rough nominating process. But that has not been 100 percent effective.

Will it be effective enough? WeÂ’ll find out on Tuesday.

A while ago, I suggested Obama needed a stronger partner on the ticket for this election. Vice President Joe Biden has been too much of a distraction this campaign, which was highlighted by his performance during the mid-October VP debate. That is not to mention other odd statements.

In 2008 both presidential nominees could have used more thorough processes to arrive at better vice presidential decisions. Future candidates will be advised to take note. Vice presidents are important advisers, national and international surrogates and prospective party nominees themselves. Even minor mistakes in choosing a vice presidential running mate are worth avoiding.

A few weeks ago in my hometown, Richmond, Virginia, women stopped me to discuss the election. She told me, without hesitation, that she voted for Obama in 2008. I asked if that meant she would do the same in 2012. She answered by saying her vote was not to be taken for granted by anyone.

She said she decides whom to vote for during each campaign based on the issues and a candidateÂ’s record.

I didn’t push her any further. But does her sentiment make the president’s team comfortable about next Tuesday? It might not — nor should team Romney take too much comfort in that.

But we’ll have an answer, one way or another, soon. And once it’s over, many will say …”Thank God!”

146 One interesting side note about Katrina, lots of the displaced wound up in places like Tulsa, Houston, Dallas, Omaha, and so on and so forth.  The churches helped them find homes and jobs, even providing job training.  I saw an emotional interview with one of the refugees who had a good job for the first time in his adult life.  He said he would always miss New Orleans, but, he was never going back because he could not go back to the hopelessness and corruption.  He was Black.  New Orleans put out a huge call for displaced people to come back to NO for the 2010 Census or to fill out their Census forms as if they still lived they, so that they would not lose a Congressional Seat.  They lost the seat.

Nope, you are right.  Bush was the closest to losing and he was at 49-47 in the final Gallup.  Obama is 3 point behind where Bush was, and Bush had to be saved by a never before seen GOTV push that caught the Dems off guard.

I'm skeptical of positive uplifting imagery.  It's usually deployed when  a rational look at the facts would make you concerned.  I'm thinking post-election when the media wakes up after four years of not doing its job.  And the Democrats can actually be the opposition party instead of just always acting like it.

They don't, it's still a poll.  It's just that the sample population is from those who already voted.

Whether or not you voted is a matter of public record.  In fact, the day I voted is the day I stopped getting calls from pollsters.

I highly recommend early voting for that reason alone.

The difference in jersey was christie. He ordered a lot of the lakes and reservoirs lowered loooong before the storm hit. Long enough that the water being released had time to be absorbed. Towns that should have been under water stayed safe. My own house was 1 hour away from being lost during irene, this time around my sump didn't have a drop, because the lakes on either side of me were lowered by 5 feet. Christie also had  power line crews from out of state already lined up and ready to roll. During irene a bunch of stupid mistakes by the idiots controlling the reservoirs had flooded out huge areas of land. Christie changed the way they operate and this time it went real good. I'm not saying he's god, and I think he was a fool for giving obama the photo op and trusting that jerkoff, but christie did a shitload of preparation for this storm, and it shows. Yeah some areas got wiped off the map, but alot more inland that could have been destroyed had skated by because he planned. Obama didn't do a single fucking thing and deserves not a fucking drop of credit.

The jackass today is asking about how they figure out early voting counts before election day, yet yesterday he was going: 

 

it is just highly unlikely given he is most likely not going to win Ohio given early voting and polling. Pollsters this late in the game want to keep their reputations, so sadly, I believe most polls right now. No Ohio, no win for Romney. Because if he cant win Ohio, he certainly is not going to win Wisconsin.

Berserker,

I am glad for you and other people in Jersey that Gov. Christie did things in advance.  And I really don't care about the "optics" of how Christie appeared with Obama.  Obama is still the President, and Christie was doing his job by meeting with him .

 

  But it appears that NYC was totally unprepared for what happened and is still flat-footed with respect to response.  Sure, it appears that ConEd is getting the lights back on in Manhatten, but is sounds like Queens, Long Island and Staten Island are a mess and will be for some time.

 

There was no way the coast could have been "saved", but somebody should have done "the math" and figured the peril that Staten Island was in.

 

I'm not a New Yorker or from the East Coast, but the whole thing is tragic, and the stupidity behind the tragedy is something that needs to be aired (but it won't).

Juxtapose Romney with Obama and their "records"  with clips of upbeat Mitt with snarky Barry.

People just don't realize how devastating hurricanes can be. You can prepare, but if the bitch wants ya bad enough, she is gonna take all your fancy preparations and laugh her ass off while she does it.

201, All of the barrier island folks should have been evacuated days before the storm hit.  When you live in as densely populated an area as the tri-state area, the forecasters who gave you a week's notice of this monster were throwing a life line to elected officials who, probably because they don't deal with the stuff the Gulf state guvs do, didn't tell the people soon enough what to do.

I mean, for how many days were we looking at that monster from above?

Obama, FEMA, and even Chrisie and Cuomo and Nanny B. were derelict, IMO.  I am not being partisan.   It's as if they didn't figure into the calculus the population density factor and were relying on models of cat 1 storms that hit the gulf.  Idiots.

ODE TO LITTLE BARACK
 
Listen, children, to a story

that began in ‘61

‘bout a SCOAMF in Hawaii

and his quest to Be Someone

In the name of social justice

He began his long campaigns

That took most of ten years running

Then the White House was HusseinÂ’s



Go ahead and hate your neighbors

Slander and deny your friends

Go ahead and call them racists

You can justify it in the end

There wonÂ’t be any chads left hanging

Come this Judgment Day

On the glorious morning after

One tinpot SCOAMF fades away



So, Barack Obama had it

What heÂ’d waited so long for

And he loved the doting crowds who

gave a narcissistÂ’s reward

He loved golfing, and the parties

And the flights on Air Force One

And the opportunities to

Scold and hector everyone



Now along rode Sir Paul Ryan

He had MATH and budget-fu

Spoke to him in health care summits

Embarrassed the Emperor through and through

Then Mitt Romney came to Denver

Refused to play the VillainÂ’s part

Obama looked down at his lectern

Forgetting his AlinskyÂ’s heart



Now Obama cried with anger

“I’m offended!” “Vote revenge!”

and Mitt easily reduced him

to the size of Spinal TapÂ’s Stonehenge

And on Tuesday, ‘spite Dem cheating

Electoral map it turned blood red

Romney Ryan having won it

And Obama hangs his head



Go ahead and hate your neighbors

Slander and deny your friends

Go ahead and call them racists

You can justify it in the end

There wonÂ’t be any chads left hanging

Come this Judgment Day

On the glorious morning after

One tinpot SCOAMF fades away

It's hard to gauge the turn out numbers for battleground states versus those that are blue states.

 

I live in a blue state, CA.  No Obama supporter here is worried that he'll lose the state, so many won't show up.  We don't even see ads except for those in newly redistricted House districts, as mine is.  The only ads for the Presidency I've seen are on national cable networks, like Fox, CNN, ESPN.

However, I am wondering that if one lives in a highly contested state, an OH and Iowa, and now WI or VA, I'd think the constant bombardment of ads are daily reminders that the race is close and that your vote really does count, whether you are strong Romney, strong Obama, leaning Romney, or leaning Obama.  This is what scares me, that the battleground states will have much higher turnout than we can predict.

However, I have to rely on the expertise of guys like Barone, Rove, to keep my spirits up as I am a natural pessimist.  It's hard-wired, traits for optimism or pessimism.

245 I hate to sound like a stone cold bitch here, but people have to take responsibility for their actions. That storm looked like it took up half the freaking Atlantic ocean. You get PLENTY of warning with hurricanes. If you choose not to leave, that's on you. My family doesn't evacuate, ever. But neither do they then sit and bitch because help doesn't come within a week. I don't know if there's still a lot of water on the ground, but they can't do a lot til that recedes. If the poles were all snapped, they take a good while to replace. I have no doubt there is plenty of inconmpetence to blame, but some of this stuff is sheer logistical hell, too. We always assume we'll be without power for two weeks, minimum, if anything goes wrong here. We always have a months' worth of food , water, etc, on hand, but we also know if we take a direct hit from a flood or a tornado, that food and water will be gone, too. Sometimes shit happens.

The NJ barrier islands were under an evacuation order as of Saturday October 27, 5 pm. Delaware's governor issued a state of emergency that same day, and closed the highways the next day. The original storm track had it coming right up DE bay, but then it changed and came in from the sea, making a hard left at Atlantic City/thereabouts.

PA's highways even closed on Monday.

Preparations were made. Barrier island residents were ordered to leave, but you can't pull people out of their houses.

What I am kind of asking pollsters is this:  in 2008, we had a huge turnout for mostly historical reasons, IMO. Yes, the economic pic was bleak and yes, McCain was weak, but many young people and certainly many Reagan Dems, and even some GOPers voted Barry for history's sake and before they knew what an asshole he was and how unprepared he was since the MSM never vetted him.  Okay, so they voted with their hearts, wanted to be part of history-making, didn't vote in huge numbers because they thought the race was close.

 

Now, will many in the battleground states, those who in other years might be quite lazy about voting, be more apt to vote because the race is so close?  When people feel their vote really matters, don't they turn out in much higher numbers than in usual elections?  And, aren't OHions always proud of their "No Republican since blah, blah, blah has won the Oval w/out Ohio?"

Same with VA and Fla.  Won't their "battleground" status drive them to the polls?  It's the egocentric nature of people to like being the center of attentino and having power.

No, you can't pull people out of their houses, but you CAN order evacuations of areas so that you can stock water and food and other resources for after the storm hits.  Why were none of those things brought in by FEMA before hand?

Surely they could have stocked up stuff on areas they knew would stay dry so that they didn't have to be transported long distances after the storm.

I have seen little evidence that any barrier island residents stayed behind, except one interview where I saw a YouTube video of a teen age girl say "Never again". I've watched probably an hour of helicop flyover images and all I see is emergency personnel and road crews trying to get the sand dunes off the streets. No cars in the driveways, anywhere.

As far as the barrier islands of NJ I can attest by living either on them or a short drive from them that they are predominately owned by rather well-to-do people as a second home.

Given the size of Hurricane Sandy, the closest state without precipitation was Indiana. The main reason the PA, NJ and DE highways were closed is so emergency personnel and vehicles would have unrestricted access to deliver aid.

I don't know how the bureaucracy works, when exactly FEMA steps in after a governor declares state of emergency. I only know what the officials in my tri-state area did to prepare, none of them dropped the ball. I can't say the same for Nanny Bloomberg, who denied both FEMA assistance and National Guard presence in the boroughs.

297 "hel, Kirstie Alley has already sent one truck of supplies from L.A. and another is on its way."

Who was it who mocked Romney for sending in a busload of supplies, instead of donating money? Looks like he was right, again.

Speaking of right again, I supported Perry in the primaries, until he cratered in the debates. I thought Mitt would be a wimp, a pushover for the Obama machine. I still think Rick Perry would be a good president, but it's clear now that the party nominated a strong candidate. And, I must add, a candidate who benefitted from having gone through a hard-fought nominating process.

He's got delusions between his ears
Man it takes up too much space
And all that tension between his gears man
He'll never ever leave this place
He's got stones instead of bones
And everybody knows
That can make you real real slow
And if heaven was below
He'd know just where to go
Dive in the ocean
And he'd sink like a stone
And he'd say
It's time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home

Hold on if you can
You're gonna sink faster
Than you can imagine so hold
Hold on if you can

"After FOX this morning I was shrieking, pulling my hair and down doggy. There is some good news here, thanks!!'

I watched the panel discussion with Hume, Trippi, Rove, some Dem guy from the NYTimes, and Wallace.

The question put to them was "What will the reason be if Romney loses?  If Obama loses?"  Damn, talk about putting the cart before the horse.

I watched it hoping to see Karl and his whiteboard as I did on Hannity on Friday evening, but they didn't go there.

Did I miss something else.  I read upstream someone say that Hume said things were trending O, but Hume isn't a poll reader and he surely doesn't study the internals (gawd, I hope Rove hadn't given him any bad news, but I doubt it.)

Follow orders as you're told,
Make Their Yellow Blood Run Cold

They found a live wire 2 houses down because they just happened to be driving by to another job site, and one of their guys saw a service pole was pulled away slightly from a house, so they stopped to investigate to see if the house had power, and found a live wire on the ground. They patched it up and away they went. Nobody in the neighborhood even noticed the wire, but these guys stopped on a hunch and bingo.

Nope, you have it wrong. If you want to buy a home on the waterfront with your own money you are fine. Go ahead, if it gets destroyed, you lose all your money. If you have to mortgage it, then you HAVE TO PURCHASE flood insurance. I have looked into the cost and it is the equivalent of purchasing the home ALL OVER AGAIN  over a 10 year period.

So people make decisions, weigh the odds, pay their money, or not... But it doesn't cost Joe Taxpayer a cent as long as the premiums the government collect equal the amount they have to pay out.

I waited 4 hours to get off a cruise ship in bayonne, because the frigging dock unions would not allow anybody to bring in extra help to get the luggage off the ship. They made a complete mess of things.

385 The Redskins Rule is a trend involving NFL football and United States presidential elections. Briefly stated, there is a high correlation between the outcome of the last Washington Redskins home football game prior to the U.S. Presidential Election and the outcome of the election: when the Redskins win, the party which won the popular vote in the previous election wins the electoral vote for the White House; when the Redskins lose, the non-incumbent party wins. This coincidence has been noted by many sports and political commentators and has held true since 1940.[1][2]

391 "How are they going to bote in Sandy-hit areas? Show of hands?" Not to worry. Bloomberg is distributing paper ballots, no doubt helpfully pre-printed with an X next to Obama's name. Speaking of, the biggest reason I'm expecting this to be a Romney blowout is that the O-bots are already flogging the "Republicans STOLE THE ELECTION!" crap, before the election even happens. Normally there's a short interval of silence while they look for "forgotten" ballots in LBJ's pickup, or Daley's garage, or Al Franken's dressing room, or Obama's closet.

I guessing that it was IBEW goons who were insisting that they join their union, before they could go to work.

399 Most would agree, however, that is the most likely place he will go wrong--given the tightness of the polls and a respected poll like Gallup giving Romney a lead.

Today Silver tweeted his model has Obama winning the EV 30 percent of the time, even if Romney wins the popular vote, provided Romney wins by 1 point or less.

That's a pretty significant chance.

Nevertheless, that also means if Romney does win the popular vote, then Romney wins 70 percent of the time.

So let's assume if Obama wins the popular vote, he wins the EC 100 percent of the time. Then we can use algebra to calculate Silver's probability (P) estimate Obama is going to win the popular vote.

(P x 0) + (1 - P) (0.7) = 0.15

0.15 is Silver's probability that Romney wins.

P x 0 = Romney's chance of winning with a popular vote loss. It equals 0, of course.

(1-P) (0.7) = Romney's chance of winning with a popular vote win.

Solving for P:

0.7 - P = 0.15

P = 0.55

Therefore, Silver's estimate that Obama will win the popular vote is only 55 percent.

That does not sound nearly as certain as most people assume, based on the electoral vote probability.

After Katrina, on the Gulf of Mississippi, it was the church groups and volunteers from all over the country who made a lasting and immediate impact on those citizens. It was not FEMA. It was the National Guard and others making it there and road crews clearing downed trees on major highways leading to the Coast. There were hurricane strength winds 120 miles inland, huge trees down on highways. But you did not hear about all that from Geraldo. Churches got organized quickly and acted.


So...good for Staten Island. Please send a message to your friend from this Mississippi girl by way of Florida. Tell her to hang tough, it will get better, and that people are praying for them and donating. This is America, and it is what we do---we don't need a preznit in a windbreaker showing us the way. We are, however, showing him the exit door on Tuesday.

429 I should also mention that IF you have the money to purchase a home on the barrier islands without a mortgage you CAN still also buy Federal flood insurance. But you get a choice, pay the money betting that a hurricane is going to come, or look at the odds (as in NJ which hasn't really taken a monumental hit since around 1938 or 1962) and save the money? The odds favor saving the money. Especially if the premium is equal to buying the home all over again in the next 10 years (which was my estimate of the cost).

There's no need to 'bail' anyone (as in individual homeowner) out. They made their choices, now they have to live with the consequences. Such is life.

One of the reasons to ask about party ID is because it isn't fixed: people's answers change as how they feel about the candidates change. So it could be random noise, it could be a small change in people preferring identifying themselves as Democrats, or it could even be intentional weighting of their poll internals to benefit Dems, but there's no reason to assume there is.

502 They revised the Redskins Rule: In 2004, the Redskins lost their last home game before the presidential election, indicating the incumbent should have lost; however, George W. Bush (the incumbent) went on to defeat John Kerry. Steve Hirdt, credited with the discovery of the rule, then modified it to refer not to the incumbent party in the White House but to the party that last won the popular vote. In the election in 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote, and thereby the revised Redskin Rule has been upheld.[2] On November 3, 2008, the Redskins lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, thereby predicting a win for Illinois Senator Barack Obama over Arizona Senator John McCain (as George W. Bush won the popular vote in 2004).[1]

That seem a little high to me, but I've gone from predicting solidish Romney win a little over a week ago, to narrow Romney win, to narrow Obama win. A 2 point PV victory could come under that heading. I think it'll be tighter than 2% though. Could go either way, but in a tight race, advantage Obama. But you could be right about Pew's polling. My guess is nearly tied PV, Obama advantage EV.

You are a stupid troll and a very annoying concerny one at that. You only show up after the second debate to whine and cry about how Romney is doing so badly and Obama is going to win.


You only show up when there is "bad" news for Romney and then say anyone who disagrees with your pathetic attempts at trolling threads is a member of the "sunshine brigade."


Yep. Look at the poll that Pew put out. It includes 54% Democrats when leaners are included. Gallup found 49% Republican to 46% Democrat in their own polling. Pew is too Democratic and us in the "sunshine brigade" are right to refuse it. So again, "Samwise," go shove your head up your ass.

That's too high and accounts for the D+4. @Everyone: Still, I'm disturbed by O's Sandy bounce. The problem isn't that he looked good helping so much, as that he got off the negativity kick he was on w/ "Romnesia" etc. It also made global warming an issue. Sandy changed the dynamic of the election. Still, I think the bounce is fading and will continue to fade. I'm also in Philly and I can tell you we don't care about Christie as much as people think. And I don't think Sandy will help O as much as many do. If he wins PA he was going to win it anyway (IMO).

Nonetheless, I was still overly optimistic (they were just as out to lunch as I was in 2006). In 2010, I predicted an outcome somewhere between Morris's 100-seat pickup and the 60 the GOP actually got. Again, called an Eeyore. Again, was overly optimistic in fact, with everyone else more out to lunch than I was. I've made these exact points in several comments here. So nope, not my first election.

607 Attended the Romney rally at the IX center in cleveland, don't know any official numbers, but based on the stand seating around the stage, there were 2,000 people seated there, and probably another couple of thousand standing.

plus, in the car park, there were about 18-20 rows with 110 cars each, plus some parking on the side, so about 2,000 cars, assuming 2.5 people per car, about 5,000. It'll be interesting to see what gets reported. Liberal assholes at Cleveland.com haven't mentioned the event, instead giving 2 stories on Biden seeing 1,200 people in a Lakewood highschool nearby.

Overall, it was a very positive event

Everyone go immediately to Insty and watch he "Vagina 2012" video. The lack of self awareness is off all scales. It's actually a funny video. Especially when she admits she has no logical argument for gays. I intend to follow her advice re: keeping vaginas in my thoughts. But not on whom to support politically.

All this talk of close is wishcasting.  These media hacks are so in the tank they are going to fucking suck obamas dick and cheerlead right up to the final poll closes.

Chicken Entrails:

Redskins lose homegame=Incumbent Loses.
Steelers win=Republican victory.

Actual Evidence:

Consumer confidence October is at 72.5 lower than Carter and below 95=Romney win.

Unemployment higher than most modern incumbents at 7.9%, highest unemployment and incumbent victory was 7.4% and it was Ronald Reagan=Romney win.

Democrats down over 200,000 EV and Republicans up over 80,000 EV in Ohio=Romney Win.

Romney over 50% in Gallup in October=Romney Win.

709 Awesome. 500 Admirals, Generals to Endorse Romney Nearly 500 former military admirals and generals are poised to endorse Mitt Romney, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. The group will post a full page ad in the Washington Times on Monday. The advertisement will have the headline, “We, the undersigned, proudly support Governor Mitt Romney as our nation’s next President and Commander-in-Chief,” followed by the names of the former military commanders. A spokesman for the group emphasized its independence from the official campaign. The Romney campaign has not sanctioned this ad buy, a spokesman said, and the members of the group are paying the fee themselves. http://freebeacon.com/

719 Regarding early voting...I'm a registered dem (this is Chicago...it's the only way to fuck with them in the primaries). So they're counting me as a vote for TJF?

 As I was standing in line at 69 W. Washington with the douchebag hipsters yesterday, there was a weird, tense vibe in the air.  I was wondering what would happen if I suddenly starting volunteering the info that I was voting for Romney!! with unprecedented voter-y enthusiasm.

I suspect they would have found my body with Tom's botas prints all over my smashed face, strangled with one of those stupid saggy hats.

The line to actually vote wasn't too bad, the line for registering to vote was out the door and around the block.  I hope a lot of them got, like, bored with standing in the cold, and gave up and went to eat quinoa somewhere.

Anyone who wants to help can do so simply by making calls from home through Mitt RomneyÂ’s website.

This is important not just for the Presidential election, but also in some of our Operation Counterweight races in which the candidates are separated by just a few points.

No matter how they manipulate it Romney is winning Independants big. Its not gonna be close on tuesday. Its going to be a massive tsunami thats gonna wash the stink of obama away.

769 >>>I was a Rick Perry supporter in the primaries, but have to say that Mitt Romney has turned out to be a wonderful candidate and sealed the deal for me Yes, I agree, except that I supported Newt Gingrich then. My own complaint about Romney, in line with what Kristol was saying the other day (but not because he said it; I've been saying it for weeks), is that Romney should have forced Benghazi onto the front page more. He tried in the second debate, got slammed down by an unfair moderator who literally lied about reality, and didn't make a big deal of it again, because he's just not as personally confident in foreign affairs as on economics. Which is understandable. Also unfortunate. But he's still the right man at the right time.

784 >>>I'm still waiting for you to give me ONE alternative explanation. Alternative explanation for what? No one convincingly understands what the double split experiment MEANS. Just what the data is, and that it can be reproduced over and over again. You can even move the observer to the other side of the slit nearer the screen and it still holds true. Possibly interaction with photons provides an explanation, but I doubt it's that simple. It's more fundamental. I may have some ideas about it, but this is hardly a solved problem in physics -- at least the explanation for the data. But go ahead, what's your crackpot take on the double slit experiment?

Oh look Samwise has brought up Bill Kristol AGAIN.  In about 4 or 5 more posts he'll be rambling about Sandy and Christie. 

 

Get lost fuck up, you've said everything you're going to say already.  And then already repeated it 50 times.  Go to the bank, withdraw a $50 and spend the rest of the day getting 10 bj's from your "girlfriend"

just got a call from the jewish-republican-convervative something or other, I told her, I told her, "save it sister, your preaching to the choir, this whole house can't wait to vote for Romney, and sorry I got a gotta go, the game is on". 

She said, "No worries, I'm getting a lot of that".

789 791 It just so happens to be the most famous theory in the most tested theory of all of physics, quantum theory.
So give me your wingnut critique of it.

You know, Samwise, a guy who's nick is Schrodinger's Cat probably does know a thing or two about the two-slit experiment. Just sayin'.

No see. We are all WINGNUTS! So we OBVIOUSLY are stupid, slackjawed, cave dwelling, mental deficients who have only the basic grasp of the outside world. Liberals like Samwise couldn't possibly be wrong or stupid. No super intelligent people like them like to live in the realm of thought and contemplation.


Like when Rasmussen was going to have Obama up by today. So Samwise, how about the two-slit experiment? Please enlighten us mental deficient wingnuts with your towering intellect!

795 >>>My own complaint about Romney, in line with what Kristol was saying the other day (but not because he said it; I've been saying it for weeks), is that Romney should have forced Benghazi onto the front page more. Disagree. The media will distort anything he says and accuse him of politicizing Benghazi. Better that he waits until after he's won the election to push the Benghazi issue.

796 After this shit is over, no more "found ballots" from trunks of cars. No ballots accepted after midnight or  2AM or whatever makes sense. If it takes armed guards at polling places to keep these fuckers from cheating, so be it. Time to get tough on these treasonous bastards. A few vote tamperers hanging from street lamps outside the polling place might be a good advertisement for honesty.

802 >>> Now your resorting to "wingnut?" I think far-right-wingers who postulate that the polls are always against them, and every uncertainty in such data always resolves to their benefit, and is usually the result of some type of conspiracy... ... and even that a guy who agrees with Bill Kristol and Charles fucking Krauthammer, almost always, and who posts damning questions about the President's failings in Libya and a whole host of other places ... ... and who points out the election is going to be close, and therefore turnout is essential ... ... and who was predicting a Romney win until a little over a day ago when Rasmussen's tracking poll provided evidence for his eminently-reasonable hypothesis that the Sandy rallying effect could have swung last-minute momentum among low-info last-minute dedciding voters back to Obama ... ... is necessarily a paid Axelrod shill (when I obviously know whether I am or not and what I feel or think or not) ... are "wingnuts". Unimaginably stupid wingnuts.

How many are running on his platform of raising taxes - Obamacare - Green Energy? I don't recall any...

How many stayed away from the Dem Convention that were up for re-election? Almost all of them...

For an incumbent President that is about to win that seems odd don't you think?  He is so popular that nobody wants to associate with him from his own party.....Quite interesting

806 I'm listening to a recorded blaze TV webcast and I'm the point where it's 2 hours before the Mitt Romney PA rally and there are already 35K people who've gotten tickets. I think it starts a half hour from now. Wonder what the count is right now. LARGEST RALLY EVER FOR ROMNEY!!! I think largest for a Republican. And the libs were calling it a desperation move. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh oh. The tide is rising to the surface. Can't stop Romney now.

813 The thing to remember about the 'double slit' experiment is that it is 'settled science' -- sort of like 'global warming' -- according to SamNotSoWise.

That's all I gotta say, as a warm shower is more attractive to me then wasting my time with a pretender.

814 816 Haley Barbour said that Fat Man was right to praise TFG Did you listen to the entire transcript? He did not completely praise Christie and Barbour, being Gov. during Katrina, quoted his ex football coach "Praise the person when you are with them, tell the truth behind their backs." Barbour knows where Christie is coming from. Christie doesn't want to make any enemy with FEMA especially since he will be working with them for many years regarding this. And no, I am not a troll!

It looks like the trolls are hitting the blogs hard today. I wonder why?
Posted by: Dack Thrombosis





I can sorta understand camping over at, say, an Ohio newspaper's comment section where he might -- theoretically -- swing one or two votes.

Lord knows why someone would waste the effort on a marginally conservative blog where everyone has or will vote for Romney. It's like us going over to troll Huffpo. No possible hope of any productive outcome.

But, I guess it is cheaper than paying a German prostitute to verbally abuse you.  Which is most likely the sexual kink ultimately underlying all this effort.

819 >>>The thing to remember about the 'double slit' experiment is that it is 'settled science' -- sort of like 'global warming' -- according to SamNotSoWise. The key point to remember is it's an experiment, not a theory nor a model. It's a surprising result, and most physicists don't claim to understand what the data means. It is in no way, shape, nor form like the AGW hypothesis. The fact that you can even equate the two is shocking.

Oh and by the way, these "polls" are showing a move towards Obama ENTIRELY BY ADJUSTING THE DRI SAMPLING. Pew went from R+5 to D+4. Did you for ONE SECOND think that this might be the reason for the last minute movement?

829 I liked the original ad better.  The opening part reminds me of the "Under a Blood Red Sky" movie (U2 live at Red Rocks), even the music sounds a bit U2-ish (U2 had Clannad playing over the intro movie).  Maybe that's the point.

For me though treating politicians like rock stars is a bit discomfitting but hey it worked for Barky.

Just sayin'. >>>Posted by: Popcorn at November 04, 2012 04:55 PM Well, you know, with all due respect, Popcorn, the fact that you think that's even marginally relevant, and gives some credence to some asshat on the Internets downplaying the most famous experiment in quantum physics, yet not even saying his problems with it, does not give me great confidence in your logical thinking skills. For the record: AGW hypothesis = probably wrong in the main, and in any case the temperature feedback effects seem to be mainly negative (dampening), not positive as the runaway manmade warming scenarios demand. The computer models are garbage. I think Svensmark's hypothesis is closer to the mark, and of course it isn't widely accepted yet, but it's a serious scientific effort being investigated at CERN and elsewhere. As for the double slit experiment - the most famous experiment in quantum physics (which you might have heard of) - it shows what it shows. The meaning is a mystery, although there are some ideas.

But yeah, last night was taking a break from commenting here and watched that. Because it's the kind of thing I do. If you watch it, it'll give you a pretty good understanding of what the double slit experiment is, for you or anyone who isn't that familiar with it. I realize you might well be. It's covered in school, of course.

Posted by: Samwise Gamgee the 3rd at November 04, 2012 01:28 PM (SKX2R)

834 Should I say this?

I'm gonna say it.

This video makes me understand something of how the Obama crowd must have felt going into the 08 election.

It's an incredibly dangerous feeling. After all, in the primary run-up, I was saying that Romney is the Democratic nominee for the Republican candidacy.

I'm going to have to work hard to keep in mind that Romney is not my friend, nor a friend of liberty.

I'm going to have to remember to boo nearly everything he does, other than his efforts to begin to dismantle a trend that's been building since Wilson, at least.

And I don't think he's going to do much of that.

I'm very, very hopeful, and it is that hope that terrifies me.
