  - i am so shocked at all those initiatives on the ballots. it seems so ... backwards to me. -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 08:22 4
    - [deleted] 1
      - It bugs me that when I denouce stuff like Prop 8, *I've* been accused of being intollerant - musubi voted Nov 5, 08:28
    - Yeah, I gotta remember to stop discussing the issue on here because the way the debate is framed in the States is so much more different than up here. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 5, 08:24
    - California is out of control with them. -- nm - pigby Nov 5, 08:24

    - wow - is there any explanation as to the motive behind this? I don't want to automatically assume that she's being churlish. - Diva Nov 5, 08:21 13
      - me and the new roommates were saying she looked about ready to burst into tears at any second. - mafic Nov 5, 08:27 1
        
        I saw that on the replay this morning; she was really, really upset about something more than just losing. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 5, 08:28
      - She's totally going to get blamed. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 5, 08:25 1
        
        5...4...3...2.... - amoxy Nov 5, 08:27
      - They said she's really upset over the McCain camp "painting" her as rogue; and it clearly separates the two Republican camps in the Party. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 5, 08:22 5
        
        Sounds like that translates to "You're history, Grandpa, and I ain't going down with your sinking ship." -- nm - TaurusII Nov 5, 08:26 3
        
        Yes, the GOP is going to kick McCain to the curb and rally to the Right. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 5, 08:27 2
        
        I'd like to see them try. This election was as much a repudiation of Neoconservative hyperpartisan ideology than it was about the merits of a McCain - znufrii Nov 5, 08:29 1
        
        I agree, but the staunch Republicans will blame McCain and say he split the Party. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 5, 08:30
        
        wow. thx for this info. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 08:23
      - Hey, less palin means more healing, right? :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 08:22 2

        I feel numb too. It's too much all at once. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 5, 08:26
- This is my hope: She runs in the Special Election to replace Stevens and McCain "accidently" lets slip some trash about Palin. -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 08:19
- More from AZ - McCain and Cindy walked to Starbucks this morning from the Biltmore with no Secret Service. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 5, 08:18 4
  - Good luck, Barack. I'm going back to having a normal life. -- nm - McCain Nov 5, 08:20 1
    - McCain to the Republicans: "Hah. Suckers." -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 08:23
  - LOL, This is so like the final episode of the West Wing - amoxy Nov 5, 08:19 1
    - I think a pic of it would be fitting. But the QVC skit is also very telling -- nm - budice Nov 5, 08:20
- Wow -- nm - amoxy Nov 5, 08:18
- Stay classy, Caribou Barbie. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 5, 08:18
- classy. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 08:18
My SS poll proposal (thanks Amy), is that everyday at 9am "ST Time" we have polls about Secret Stalker. - Andie Nov 5, 08:15 16
- works for me. whoever my stalker is will have to be checking back, since I'm not sure how often I'll be around at 2am. -- nm - mafic Nov 5, 08:24
- Maybe twice a day? Or alternate times? We have people who are only here at work or at home... -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 5, 08:20 2
  - that's why i was suggesting a specific board. you can always answer a poll later, and it gives people a place to look. -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 08:20 1
    - Ah, true.. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 5, 08:25
- "ST Time"? Hrm. I guess I should put some sort of ST Time up in the header. (Since people can change timezones now) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 08:18 1
  - add a little javascript clock next to the number of posts -- nm - decline Nov 5, 08:20
- we also need a site that will summarize the polls and follow the shifts in tracking in the polls -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 08:17 5
  - www.312.com ? -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 08:19 1
    - :) I like it -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 08:20
  - what about a TTwiki page -- nm - zork Nov 5, 08:18 2
    - I was making a joking reference to my (and many other denizens of this board) daily obsession with 538.com -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 08:19 1
      - ahh, nice one. I glossed over all those 538 posts so no wonder I missed that. -- nm - zork Nov 5, 08:20
- but ST time now varies for each person if you set a time zone for yourself -- nm - zork Nov 5, 08:17 2
  - it changes in the jumper? okay then, noon Eastern, 9am Pacific, adjust for yourself in other zones. -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 08:19 1
    - Yeah, I fixed that bug a few days ago when I put in the daylight savings timezone fix -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 08:19
- sure. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 5, 08:15

STIS: is there a place where i can find all the transcripts for Obamas speaches, interviews, and debates? - colin Nov 5, 08:13 4
- here -- (link) - oblique Nov 5, 08:15 3
  - i've found plenty of transcripts, but scattered all over. i was asking for one source that lists all of them. - colin Nov 5, 08:17 2
    - It couldn't possibly be on his own website, could it? -- (link) - oblique Nov 5, 08:22 1
      - thanks. - colin Nov 5, 08:25

  - In fatigues and a billy club? -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 08:21
- [deleted] 4
  - But the CNN numbers of short of the actual numbers -- (link) - ty97 Nov 5, 08:17 1
    - I thought mail-in voting was supposed to eliminate this crap. -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 08:18
  - Got the news from Portland's Air America station. Can't say they're right, but the Oregonian newspaper shows outstanding counts... -- (link) - Mop Nov 5, 08:16 1

  - [deleted] 7
    - not really. Vote for the Dem, you get a Dem. Vote for Stevens, you get another change to pick. -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 08:10 1
      - hrm, okay, I'm starting to see the thought process now ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 08:12
    - No - if the Democrat won there would be no special election. Vote for Stevens, kick him out, vote for the new Republican in the special election. -- nm - Dano Nov 5, 08:09 4
      - I fail to see the genius thought processes at work behind this plan. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 08:10 2
        
        seems a valid vote to me. -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 08:12 1
        
        Yeah, if you're a Republican the only way to keep the seat is voting for Stevens now. -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 5, 08:13

ST Poll: Which station did you watch the coverage on last night and why? - oblique Nov 5, 08:05 26
- CNN for 95%....5% watching Fox just to see the morgue. CNN is leaps and bounds better as a team than any of the cables. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:24
- MSNBC -- nm - amoxy Nov 5, 08:19
- CNN/MSNBC with Indecision until it was called. Then Fox News for schadenfreude value. - celedhrymandias Nov 5, 08:15

- I'd be happy to let Oprah be a TV host and do charitable things - oblique Nov 5, 08:02 7
  - She's entitled to her opinion. I think people place to high a value on what she has to say, but I think she's an impressive woman who wants to do - pmb Nov 5, 08:12
  - If religious leaders are going to endorse candidates, why shouldn't she? -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:04 4
