2012 US Presidential Election Megathread!

You probably don't watch your President's speeches.

True, I don't need sleeping aids. I do pay attention to sound bites and news articles though and haven't seen anything too flashy.

Well except for maybe Holder asking for Obama to throw him under the bus.

[derspiess]

Actually as a supporter of Willard, I hope Obama doesn't change a thing.

Of course you don't.  That would run counter to your Angry-Old-White-Guy-Who-Hates-Niggers-Women-and-Unions sympathies.

[CountDeMoney]

You don't want him to change a thing.  He fits perfectly as the Bad Guy(tm) in your world view right where he is, and how he's campaigning.

I didnt know you hated "Teh Negros".

No.  I don't want him to change the way he's campaigning because I think it decreases his chances of winning re-election.  If I were an Obama supporter (a non-delusional one) I'd be seriously pissed about how things are going so far.

In related news, Wes Clark has got a reality TV show.  And CdM supported him for president.  CdM's failure of judgement is exceeded only by Wes Clark's failure at life.

[Sheilbh]

What's puzzling to me is that Obama's campaign has been so sub-par to this early point.  I don't see him doing a whole lot to bring swing voters on board-- he just seems to be targeting small elements of his base. 

Yeah.  He's running a dreadful campaign so far that could lose.  It's like he's given the campaign to the lovechild of Mark Penn and Bob Shrum

Rumors are that Debbie Marblemouth Schultz might get booted as DNC Chair.  If they're smart, they'll replace her with another Ed Rendell-type.

[Faeelin]

War on women campaign seems cynical and needlessly divisive, and hasn't seemed to have gained him in the polls with women.

Has this changed that much?

Appears so.  Latest Gallup poll has Romney up by 1.  I haven't seen the breakdown for battleground states/women.

I'd soothe her sadness with my penis.

So you like big asses & poodle hair?  All yours

Debbie on TV is either hot or looks like she just came from the dentist looking all puffy. I think it depends on the humidity,

  She does get hit with the frizzies from time to time.

Personally, I'd like to see Karen Finney get back into the DNC in some capacity.  She has smarts and dimples.

She has the biggest variance in hotness I've ever observed in a women.  The first time I saw her, I thought she was a hot 20-something.  The next time I saw her, she looked way older and more used up.
