Romney: 47% of Americans are losers, don't care about 'em

[crazy canuck]

The problem for Romney is that people will blame the Republican plutocrats for any problems with the economy, and for good reason.

The short period that Romney led Obama in the polls last year was during the summer mini-crash following the US debt downgrade (and Greece problems).

Also known as the period before people really starting to focus on what Romney stood for or rather his ever changing stances on what he stood for at that particular moment in time.

Obviously some kind of force majore is another thing that can affect Obama.  A huge terrorist act, a war with Iran breaking out, or some kind of economic calamity can also jumble up the race.

It's too late in the cycle for a war to be a bad thing for him.

[Razgovory]

Romney could also win if he manages to defeat a group of terrorists/thieves in a skyscraper, just like Die Hard.

Well, I'd vote for him if he did that.  That would be totally fucking rad.

Obama could be the cop getting the doughnuts.

"Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!" would make a good slogan for a campaign.

Who knows how people would react?  What if an aircraft carrier sinks during the first salvo?

[Razgovory]

It would have to be a British aircraft carrier to rely on direct fire, so it probably won't be a problem for Obama.

You're right. Sitting presidents and their parties electorally benefit from economic crashes.

Obama should hope for another recession next month so that less people will vote for Romney.

If you are talking general economic crash you are right.  If you are talking about one triggered by a specific boneheaded company doing something dumb I don't think it's as nearly clear cut.

I thought I was giving Yi a ridiculous discount.  At this point, I think what holds Romney's price above 0% is a chance of some kind of disaster for Obama, like finally admitting that he's a Muslim, or the effect of voter suppression in some key states.

I bet I get no credit fr stating that <insert Republican candidate of the Tea Parties choice here> had no chance a long, long time ago.

The deal requires approval by the Committee on Foreign Investments in the US, which vets cross-border deals on national security grounds.

Wow, even Poland doesn't have a body like this, and it is a post-communist state. To think I thought you guys were free market capitalists.

Madonna said that if Obama wins she will undress on stage. Time to vote Romney.

It does seem odd (though I wouldn't mind it to stop the BAE deal), has it always been there or is it something that was created after that Dubai port debacle?

The US actually has strategic assets though.  Not even Poles really care if Hungary takes over Poland's 'strategic' beet production.

Or, you know, just don't buy tickets. 

[DGuller]

That sounds very exciting.  I wonder what Madonna looks like naked?

Poland's black bread reserve is in Ms. Kolwaski's basement, Krakow. Knock three times, then three times again to gain access.
