Romney may be able to force the recount, but I don't see him getting a win on the first try here. | ||

Americans (specifically the right) tend to exaggerate left leaning political groups. Democrats are socialists. Socialists are communists. And true communists are evil incarnate. | ||

Republicans have compared Democrats to socialists/communists to get the Cuban vote down here in Miami Florida for decades. | ||

He did 70/30 in 2008. Bookies strongly favour a Democrat victory in Virginia. Obama to win there is down to 1.3, Romney out to 3.2 now to take Virginia. This is a big change from a few minutes ago, where Democrats winning Virginia was at 1.7 or so. http://www.oddschecker.com/specials/politics-and-election/us-presidential-election/to-win-virginia | ||

I wouldn't disagree if someone said I was less tolerant of uncertainty than most or that I was more afraid. I don't think either of those things are bad; I tend to think I am fairly rational. Tolerating uncertainty doesn't even seem rational, it is just acceptance of risk. I'll pull the communism card; many people probably should have been more afraid and less tolerant of communist ideology. Conservatives were right on that one. | ||

He could make a bunch of promises and then disappoint people like Obama, or he can say he would work with Congress and lay out his guiding principles. He chose the second one, which I think is better. Presidents write budgets, Obama has one, it's got 250 pages of detail. Romney doesn't have anything, he wouldn't name anything at all, so how are people suppose to judge his "plan"? He's tax principles are mathematically impossible. He's response? Of course it adds up. Then, show us how. He's not naming anything because if Romney says he'll close whatever loophole or cut whatever spending, people who rely on that would recoil. | ||

Romney may be able to force the recount, but I don't see him getting a win on the first try here. And we still have 30% of Miami-Dade and 16% of Broward. As well as St. Lucie with 35% left leaning Obama. The red counties are smaller and have 11% or less to go. Edit: Whoops, except Lee. | ||

That's more what I was trying to figure out. If I asked you to post a short story by, say, Anton Chekov, would you post a review of a Chekov story and call it a day? ? They include links which source their claims to the actual studies. It's not rocket science, and it's not taken out of context. | ||
