Next prez is...?
And, if you feel so inclined, throw down with predictions further down the road (ie., if McCain loses, will Bobby Jindal be the Republican Obama?).

HEY WHERE'S MY THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE [/squall]
this thread is redundant and sucks
I predict Biff will be looking for a new message board until 2009 come November 5th.
Did he actually make that bet?
poll edited to reflect the true winner of tuesday's election
that would be awesome, however I don't see Ron Reagan's zombie corpse as an option.
Yes he did. We spoke about it via PM, and I believe he forwarded the final one to Nick.Quote:

Sadly, it will be Obama.
Empire will have chance to strike back in 4 years.
Protip: The Empire were the bad guys.
That means he got it right.
They'll be running Jindal in 2012. If McCain wins, Dems run Hillary in 2012.
We all should want McCain to lose. It's really best for everybody.
I always hated hippy Rebels to tell the truth :p Empire had order and kept wookies in check.Quote:

The Empire was a lot more interesting until it turned out that all the stormtroopers were clones. There's like fifteen "real people" in the entire fucking thing apparently.
I liked 'em better when they were a bunch of random dudes in white suits who couldn't hit shit with a laser gun.
Thanks.Quote:

Bobby Jindal would never fly with the Republicans. After all, he graduated from Brown, was accepted to Harvard Medical School and Yale Law School (but turned them down), and got his master's at an Oxford constituent school, so he's obviously an intellectual elitist.
That's why he's going to save the party, if there's anything left to save after this.
It will be interesting to see how the republicans handle this defeat, that's for sure. I have a feeling they're warming up a spot under the Straight Talk Express for Sarah Palin.
You should really stop posting in political threads. Every time I think I've found your low point of understanding, you prove me wrong again with an even deeper dive.Quote:

Too bad the Bush establishment didn't see that poster four years ago.
Bush isn't running. If your clown wins, blaming Bush is over.
Bonus round! It also applies exceedingly well to sticking with Palin when it became apparent she was an awful choice!
ALSO that logic means you can't mention Clinton! Retry Y/N?

Republicans like educated people. Educated people often become successful in society, and as a result vote Republican so they can keep what they've earned. Last I checked Bobby Jindal wasn't an unemployed liberal arts major, so he'll fit in just fine.Quote:

This might be the most ridiculous generalization in this entire thread. You honestly believe that the majority of Obama voters even know where he went to school?Quote:

sure, there are a lot of stupid, poor, black voters, but there are a lot more stupid, poor, white voters.
Why are you guys even bother to argue about the intelligence of party voters? Both parties have smart/intelligent/successful voters and both parties have idiotic herds. What a retarded circle jerk of an argument.

The mistake you're making is confusing education with intellectual elitism. Not every educated person decides that they should be making less educated people's decisions for them.Quote:

Don't bother. Frog has proven incapable of understanding what "elitism" means in this context.Quote:

But you are right, it's pretty easy to generate numbers that prove whatever point you are trying to make.
sure, but it's not like we have just one or two polls. we have dozens. some from the left, some from the right, some from the middle. and just as you try to stay impartial so you continue to work, so do many of these polls. because even if one goes off the reservation to get some extra buzz now, they're going to be judged on their accuracy when the ballots are counted.Quote:

When a person has no meaningful real-life accomplishments they have to fall back on citing the place that they prepared for maybe someday accomplishing stuff.Quote:

i would argue that underwater basket weaving is inherently an engineering discipline
The ones running to represent them in elected office do. That's kind of the job description.Quote:

This is why Frog doesn't belong on that informed poster list. It's burg and burg alone on that side.
yeah the government does not exist to make people's decisions for them. it exists to make collective decisions that by their very nature cannot be made by individuals. and basically the whole american political spectrum is an argument about which decisions can and cannot by their nature be made by individuals and thus default to the government.
It fascinates me that there are people out there like Frog who honestly think the government is needed to do everything for us. I just can't get my head around coming to that conclusion.
I just didn't understand that knowing someone's school history was a scale of measurement if you were suited to vote for a particular candidate.

25 dollars for every TNL'r who has undisputed photographic proof they wrote in Biff for president.
That is not much of base to build on right there.
5000 percent more than you my friend.
