Bone has a point since in Oregon and Washington our individual votes are pretty insignificant as the state's electoral votes will be going to Obama regardless.

 

not quite, they don't go to Obama "regardless" -- they only go to obama if everyone you assume is going to vote for him actually does so. "Likely" and "regardless" are not the same thing.

 

 

True enough. But, let's face it, Washington and Oregon's votes will go to Obama. I guess my comment was more of a dig on the electoral college system in general.

 

I suppose popular vote matters, but only as a reason for the losing party to bitch about the result afterwards.

I think the key word here is "irregardless". Anyway, Pete, you are pretty fashionable...which means you are probably gay.

Dude you need to run up to the Filson outlet in Burlington. Lumberjack Chic is definitely in this fall!

 

Might I suggest the Oil Finished Trucker Jacket and Single Tin Husky Chaps.

The 'Binders' meme is far from a distraction. It's pretty central to the campaign for two reasons:

 

1) Mitt's heartwarming debate story was a lie. a women's PAC presented him with a list of women qualified for jobs in his administration when he was elected governor. He did not 'recognize the problem and seek them out'.

 

2) It highlights Mitt's proposed policies regarding women, so many of which he correctly states are in poverty right now. Why is that? The number one predictor of life long poverty for women is childbirth before finishing their education. Mitt, of course, proposes to force women to have unwanted children, as well as make education, at all levels, even less accessible than it already is.

 

This isn't to say that Mitt opposed hiring women into his MA administration. When it comes to wealthy, powerful people, he's there for them.

 

When it comes to women who are not part of the elite - particularly immigrants and those who cannot afford to bring their pregnancies to term, or who simply don't wish to, that's another matter.

The moment one attempts to measure Rob's orientation, one can no longer determine it.

aha, so you say he is a cat, which must mean he is a pussy, and thus...thus...a male lesbian?
