A little early? Maybe. Pick the Republican ticket for 2012.

A robot.


In other words...


An artificial conservative!



Anyway, I and many other Fungi Forum users will be voting next time. I believe in Obama and if he does a good job, I'll vote for him to continue (if he runs again). If by some chance I'm wrong and he doesn't, I'll be voting for someone else. I'm not dependent. But my money's on voting to have Obama reelected.

Why is Sarah Palin even on that poll?

After single handedly destroying John McCain's chances of being elected, there's no way the Republican Party will ever consider bringing her into the national stage again.

Not to mention her dim-bulb moments eclipsed even George W. Bush's worst slip-ups.

As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Read this. McCain lost because his base didn't see him as conservative enough. Palin was an attempt to appeal to them, and she worked as well as could be expected. (That the media hated her is a natural consequence.) Without Palin, Obama would have had an actual landslide, because more Republicans would have stayed home. After four years of a Democrat-controlled Congress and the most liberal president in U.S. history, hardcore conservatism will likely be in vogue again for the Republican party, and for many people, Palin is the new face of that wing of the party, alongside figures like Steele and Jindal.

I could also have answered by saying "Well, why are Deezer and Dry Reagan on the poll? Lighten up a little!"

52% of the popular vote is a landslide?

Look at the county electoral maps in that link I posted. He did almost exactly the same as Kerry. The only real difference was that McCain didn't do as well as Bush.

A landslide is something along the lines of Reagan or FDR's electoral maps, where the average person looks at it and immediately says "Wow, that's a lot of red!" or "Wow, that's a lot of blue!" Obama's electoral map is Kerry's losing map plus a handful of swing states. The average person looks at it and says "Yeah, that's generally how it looks, only with a bit more blue places than normal." From a campaign that was claiming it would get 400 EVs, it's actually pretty disappointing, especially considering how much money he spent to get there. The fact that he got the triforce of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida (all by very narrow margins, incidentally) does not make it a landslide. If he hadn't gotten at least two of them, he would have lost.

This appears to be a common trend right now, the reply to which I've generally seen along the lines of "it was a landslide. Get over it."
That was a joke.
