Nothing matters until the debates happen. Each side can lose or win if they have bad debates. - Bacon Sep 18, 07:44
No... - David's Mom SI Sep 18, 07:25 10
- Roger More threw out a theory about this last night, or your pondering and discussion -- (link) - ty97 Sep 18, 07:35 [Backboard]
- my point - Mitt = "You can't handle the TRUTH!" -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 18, 07:28
- Aren't LA and MI pretty high on that list? (highest welfare roles/food stamps) -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 07:28 3
  - I mistyped... - Mel Profit Sep 18, 07:36 2

      - This is taking the argument from their prospective... - Mel Profit Sep 18, 07:50
- I don't get these joke nicks sometimes -- nm - oblique Sep 18, 07:25 2
  - I want to know what David's mom thinks! -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 18, 07:26 1

- Some of the 47% he was speaking about might actually have voted for him, though. -- nm - Spawn Sep 18, 07:24 12
  - but that 47% shouldn't have been voting for him before this, don't you see? swearing - amanda Sep 18, 07:27 11
    - So they should ignore social issues and vote solely on economic ones? - spamlet Sep 18, 07:59 7
      - my argument is that they are voting based *solely* on social issues. anyone who's going to be - amanda Sep 18, 08:03 4
        
        If you believe that both parties will screw you over equally financially, it really doesn't matter does it? -- nm - spamlet Sep 18, 08:09 2
        
        if both parties will screw you over, vote for the one that will use lube. -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 08:11
        
        This is what Obama was getting at four years ago - Reagen Sep 18, 08:11
        
        Don't forget one thing. Many people believe Praying will save them before the Government will. - Bacon Sep 18, 08:06

        word to your second paragraph. (and also to its mother.) -- nm - amanda Sep 18, 08:04
    - Here is the deal. It's like Congress being 17% liked. It's always the OTHER congressmen, not MINE. Government benefits in the GOP are always, THOSE - Bacon Sep 18, 07:55
    - like guns and religion! -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 07:46

- this is what makes me sad -- nm - oblique Sep 18, 07:24
- I wouldn't be so sure of romney hitting 47 in the end. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 18, 07:23 1

The beginning of the end, I hope. He claims he was inelegant, but I've never heard him be elegant. If he brings that to the debates - TWuG Sep 18, 07:21 22
- Maybe, but W was as inelegant as you could get and people found him approachable as a result. -- nm - ty97 Sep 18, 07:23 17
  - well W never seemd to try and sound inteligent, almost the opposite made him much more "comfortable" on the surface - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 18, 07:31
  - Yeah, but W. was a "good old boy" who they'd feel comfortable sitting down and having a beer with. That's why they voted for him. - Kim Pine Sep 18, 07:28 15
    - This is a good point about W. - ty97 Sep 18, 07:33 14
      - One person's opinion - Strongbad Sep 18, 07:35 13
        
        I think this election (and 2004) were both winnable in a way that, say, 1984 and 1996 were not. - Roger More Sep 18, 07:52
        
        I actually agree that this was never easy for any Republican candidate... - Kim Pine Sep 18, 07:43 11

        What Republican candidates were likeable, in your opinion? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 08:00 6
        
        Huntsman. -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 08:08 2
        
        Yep. He's the one that I might have considered. But how does a Moderate get through the Primary. - Bacon Sep 18, 08:10 1
        
        And you finish #2 four years prior and have the most name recognition. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 08:26
        
        Exactly. -- nm - mara Sep 18, 08:05

        there's the kicker -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 08:01
        
        agreed. - Mel Profit Sep 18, 07:53 2
        
        the fact that the GOP can't offer one is just ... -- nm - amanda Sep 18, 07:56 1
        
        Reagan wouldn't make it now. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 18, 07:59
- Yeah, the debates will be when it's over. -- nm - nubby Sep 18, 07:22 3
  - but the red state people who only vote based on my right to control my own body and brian's right to marry joe don't care about the debates. - amanda Sep 18, 07:29 2
    - There actually are undecided people out there. - Spawn Sep 18, 07:49 1
      - last night, at jz's he got a phone call on the house phone from the obama people. "are you voting for obama?" jz: "is there another candidate?" - amanda Sep 18, 07:53
With this economy, there is no death knell short of him killing a puppy on live tv. - ty97 Sep 18, 07:21
