[QUOTE=person11;38121111]I like how Romney has run, from an organizational standpoint, the worst campaign ever.
He is only doing ok against Obama because the economy did not recover fast enough for the liking of the people.[/QUOTE]
He's doing well because the populace is so incredibly ignorant that they haven't noticed the constant lies, contradictions, hypocracies, and flip flopping coming from his campaign.
Tomorrow is the debate on Foreign Policy.
I wonder how much of said debate will be about Israel, Palestine and Iran.

Probably a significant amount, with a chance of Libya and embassy attacks.
I voted early last Tuesday.
Didn't register to vote. No point, lesser of two evils isn't for me.
That's dumb
Jill Stein and Rocky Anderson are like the only sane candidates.

Vote for third party or independent candidates then.

About as dumb as voting for Obama or Romney.

Vote for somebody who promises voting reform.

I never realized how hilarious that South Park Episode was about the new school mascot being the douche and the turd until this election.
No matter which one wins, I would honestly rather have neither since our system of government has been falling apart since I was a kid, the War on Terrorism has been going on over half of my life and the only thing I see out of it is the sanding away of our rights.

The National Post is a Canadian newspaper that put this together base on data collected. Just going by their scenarios, Obama has it down. Thoughts?
I think it's too early to say, even though there's only two weeks till Election Day. We got Hurricane Sandy coming into the Northeast, and how well that goes might affect some states, especially Virginia and possibly New Hampshire and Ohio.
My brother commutes between TN and NC almost everyday and noticed this...

Do you guys think that could actually be why the prices vary so much more than usual?

refineries are switching to the winter blend which is cheaper than the summer blend.
If this storm fucks up the mail system for more than a day I might not be able to get my ballot in, though I hope they consider that.
[QUOTE=Lazor;38227533]refineries are switching to the winter blend which is cheaper than the summer blend.[/QUOTE]
But does that explain why prices are so different between states?
because markets
seriously, this happens like every election(with the exception of 2008 because the economy was tanking). there isn't any sort of collusion going on to ensure Obama wins the election. North Carolina isn't even an important state for an Obama victory.

If there were tampering it would be to make Obama look worse in NC by raising gas prices there. I dont see how NC having gas more expensive would be helpful to his campaign.
my analysis works either way
Let me tell you a little thing, comrades.
My friend is American, and he explained a few things to me. Do you know, where did black people came from to the US? ... from Africa? Exactly, slave traders have brought them all from Africa. And do you think, that it is a very easy thing to stop on an african beach and to catch a strong, fast and intelligent black man into a net and swim away with him with a ship all the way to America? Of course it for one hundred percent is not. They have managed to do so perfectly, because they were catching only those, who did not manage to run the fuck away from the net because they were so weak and tired, and those who were the biggest stooges and dumbfucks in the entire tribe and their chieftain was selling them away for a pack of cigarettes, because they were just THAT fucking useless. And all those bigots had not so "their own" way to America. They got married, they reproduced and stuff like that. Meanwhile, the world has shown some progress - Computers, healthcare, metamphetamine, aeroplanes, but why should it matter? The hearts of makers of these things, including OBAMA are pumping the SAME blood. They are descendants of a man, that got caught in HIS OWN territory into a net!
Therefore, I do NOT think, that Obama should be a good president for all of you!

The fuck?
I can't even read this, what the hell are you trying to convey through text?

Didn't seem to factor home state advantage, or incumbent advantage, seems the entire thing was predicted on racial lines which is kind of dumb and overly simplified.

He's basically saying that Obama shouldn't be president because his father was a slave and all the slaves they brought over were incredibly dumb, weak, useless, etc.
Which is not only incredibly racist, but untrue since Barack Obama Sr. was born in Kenya in 1936.

no actually he's descended from a white mother and a black father who was from Africa and not descended from slaves try again
I can't wait until the election is over and people take down those horrible ugly campaign signs.
I have not been keeping up with this thread well enough or updating the OP since the debates.
Well we kind of know everything there is to know: Obama has the same chance of winning as he did at the end of August: the gains he made after the conventions and the losses after the first debate all balanced out.
It looks like Obama has a strong chance of winning unless something goes horribly wrong.
