FWIW, my gut tells me that if the election were held today Mitt would win the popular vote

Depends.
Can dead but newly-baptized Jews vote?

Only in Chicago.  Or I guess maybe Utah :)

The Romney bit is at about 50 seconds.  But much of it's worth watching especially for the joke about Greek and Spanish bailout.  Remember he's Mayor of London and possible future Tory leader (and mentioned as PM :o)... :mellow:

I'm definitely not calling it for Romney at this point, but if I were on your side I'd be a little worried.

I'm glad you're not on my side.  I don't need your whore pills. And a presidential candidate with no policies other than a Nixonian Vietnamization "I'll fix the economy, but won't tell you how until I get there" approach?  Not worrisome.

Besides, if Mittens wins, it won't be through any miracle of his own;  it'll be thanks to the state level GOPtards in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Florida and the other states who've done all the advanced leg work in developing voter registration laws designed specifically to restrict and draw down the voting population.
Eh, a lot of old white republicans will probably ended up being screwed by those laws as well, so I think it could backfire on them.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

That would be awesome. Someone needs to fill the Berlusconi humor void, and as a bonus he actually seems somewhat competent.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

It's been nearly 4 years. :angry:

The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today

To improve on berlusconi it is merely required not to be actively criminal; competence is not required.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Do we have to point out, yet again, that you're the one who wishes that you had my gun control, socialized medicine, fewer blacks and no Republicans?

Not at the expense of using Monopoly colored money and coins with ducks on them.  You only wish you had a passport with big eagle on it.

The one that everyone sneers at around the world?  I'll pass.


They sneer because they wish they had it. :D

Sure they do, little one. Sure they do.  :console:

That's why you choose which counties to have it in.  You don't pick methlab land to look for voter fraud amongst the rednecks.  You look for it in the urban areas.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

So, Mitt is visiting Poland today. I hope he tries to tell a Polish joke.

I don't think his London PR blitz will have much of an impact back home :)

Shocking.

Well, if so, why the hell do it? Not to mention, I'm pretty sure the soundbites of Cameron and Johnson dissing him will find a way into some Obama ad.

Martinus

So, the right wing Catholic group associated with PiS (and having the biggest sway among the US-based Polish immigrants) is going to call on Mitt to "help solve the Smolensk plane crash conspiracy". These guys also hate Walesa and consider him a Russian spy (Romney is meeting Walesa tomorrow) and the PO government for being traitors (Romney is meeting prime minister Tusk whom he considers - and rightly so - a conservative Atlanticist).

It's going to be fun watching Romney try to blindly navigate Polish politics' idiocy.
