GOP Primary Megathread!

Well, he could've just put the dog to sleep before the trip, and gotten a new one at his destination.  Mitt deserves some credit for not taking that easy way out.

[Tonitrus]

I was thinking about comparing it to people who drive all over with a dog running free in the bed of their pickup trucks, but they don't usually do that for 12 hours in a stretch.

Not the worst of sins in a presidential candidate, but he is still a prick.  Another good example from politicians for why I don't bother to vote anymore.

He could have left the dog at home and hired someone to sit it while the family was on vacation.  Then he could have fired the sitter when that got home--he would have enjoyed that.

Here's my prediction. I call it "The 'O' Zone"

On the other hand, I think it's plausible for it to turn out like this: http://www.270towin.com/2012_election_predictions.php?mapid=ffi

My prediction:

[Capetan Mihali]

http://electnext.com/questions tells me I 'm best matched with Huntsman, seeing as how we both love long walks on the beach, farm dogs, and the color orange. A couple of percentage points behind him apparently is Obama.

Yay?

My top issues came out as Healthcare, Gay Rights, Immigration, and Guns.  They gave me Barry at 61% followed by Huntsman and Perry.

I really am a 2nd Amendment diehard despite my socialism.

NH and OR to Romney?

[Eddie Teach]

Romney gets nada in that map. 

[Capetan Mihali]

When I do the map, it makes me think the Republicans really do have a good chance of pulling off the election.  I don't know how Obama is going to mobilize his "base" in remotely the same way as 2008.   I guess the hope for the Democrats is that Romney will similarly leave a lot of people (e.g. Southern religious right, libertarian-leaners) staying home on Election Day.

I think something like this is more plausible for a Romney win.

However, I still think that Obama should be favored for reelection at this point.

That doesn't actually show Romney winning.

[Phillip V]

That map looks like wishful thinking. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Minnesota, Michigan? Pffft.

I don't think Philip V is being any more honest with his map than he was with his claims that Huntsman was "quoted as saying in 2009 that Republicans were now 'irrelevant'." Now that he has produced two such whoppers in a row, it is obvious that he is just trolling pretty badly*, because no one could be that stupid and still be able figure out how to post here.




*unless he thinks he is being funny, which would be even more pathetic.

Look. I supported and voted for Obama since January 2007 (he announced in February). People did not initially think he would be the nominee, let alone a Democrat winning North Carolina or Indiana in the general election for the first time in decades. Based on past history, current polling, and the scenario that the economy stagnates or declines by November (and the bad events that would be associated with such conditions), Romney would very likely win in a landslide that I depicted.

So what are the required circumstances for your little scenario?
