I don't see how it's sensitive to want to keep it off of the board of the school that tried to train you to be a champion for Christ. What happened to the filter anyway? Are we using up all of the filter bandwidth to alter "I am laughing out loud. I typed "LOL" but that is for teenage girls who text. So please know that I am laughing. Out loud."
Believe it or not, Sly and I missed a few terms/words when setting up the filters. This thing doesn't come pre-loaded.

I saw this too... So now Rasmussen shows IA, OH and WI as being tied, when just a week ago the president had between a 1 - 3% point advantage in each. I also saw where it looks like Romney increased his lead in VA, FL, NH and CO. If Romney were to add WI on top of FL, OH, NH, VA, IA and CO... that would be epic.

I just hope, if elected, Romney pushes forward with reversing the policies of the last 4 years and really cracking down on entitlement spending.

The sad part is, we all know he won't. He's just another go along with the Democrats type Republican.

I disagree. Especially if the Republicans keep the House and take the Senate. THIS is where all the Ron Paulites need to focus their energy. A Conservative Congress will be better at getting deals more in line with their values. Again, this is where the Tea Party,IMO, has it right in focusing more local. I just think Romneys 8 years will prove more conservative then he's getting credit for.

Gripes. "Hurricane" Sandy is responsible for cancelling the Romney rally in Va Beach that I was going to go to on Sunday.

This is all Bush's fault for causing global warming.

I think you are wrong - That's what Ron Paul is getting you to believe. I think with power from both house and senate - Romney will show Obama what he could have done and make some changes. I think Romney and the republicans will want to show some real strength the first year if elected. They have to or face the same Obama decline in four years.

If the election is remotely close, whichever side loses the popular vote and/or electoral college will blame it on Hurricane Sandy.

Allegations, reports, and 'statistics' will be shamelessly cherry-picked to 'demonstrate' that, "It is undisputed that Sandy suppressed [NUMBER OF] votes in [STATE OR STATES] who would have voted for [CANDIDATE] and that with those votes, [CANDIDATE] would have easily won."

I can see the Democrats doing that more then the Republicans. If Romney loses it will be blamed on early voting flaws.

Sandy is mainly impacting Obama states. Only exception is Virginia and West Virginia.

But I agree with Haize, I could see the Democrats doing that. The Republicans are far too incontinent to pull such an excuse. Most of them would rather lose anyway (Boehner, Karl Rove, etc)

Heck no, with the much-touted early voting ridiculousness, the election's been going on for a month, so really what would their excuse be? November 6 is no longer Election Day but Cut-off Day.

Yeah I think it degrades the electoral process myself. There should be a cut off for absentee and then everyone vote on Election Day. The military would be the exception.

I live in Tennessee.

Tennessee is clearly a red state.

I don't want to vote for Mitt Romney.

Is it still throwing my vote away to vote for Gary Johnson since, in the end, my vote wouldn't really matter anyways?

SJ, yes, in a state where you can afford to do that. My friend in Wyoming votes libertarian because she knows her state is red anyway.

In Virginia, thanks to the Yankees moving down, we don't have that luxury anymore.

See, this is what is wrong with early voting. I understand if someone gets sick but now you have in a way, almost leaked results before the polls even close. It's just wrong, because now all the welfare goons can get round up in the van and to the polls for 'P Bo.
