Let me post the exact quote so you can read what he said. "Well you know, people always want to try to make that as one of those things, well how do you, how do you slice this particularly tough sort of ethical question. First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume that maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child." | ||

Romney has fewer electoral votes right now even though he has 51% of total votes? Presidents are elected based on electoral votes, not popular vote, It's happened before that the loser of the popular vote has won the electoral vote and therefore the entire election. One thing to keep in mind is the huge number of uncounted votes in California, which will swing the popular vote significantly towards Obama. The population of CA is something around 1/6 the population of the country, so it's pretty significant. | ||

However they remind me that I should be studying for my applied statistics final, wich, strangely enough, is not nearly as fun as these "proyections"  | ||
