Now we need Ron Paul to run as a Libertarian, with Badnarik as his Veep.

Maybe we can screw this election up so much that whomever wins, he wins with a plurality/minority of votes and no clear mandate. I just can't stand any of 'em, including Paul.

We can only pray that Ron Paul runs as a Libertarian or Independent. I know a lot of Ron Paul supporters who will be writing in Ron Paul rather than cast a ballot for anyone else. Myself included. Hopefully we can screw the GOP out of an election, unless they steal it with voter fraud like in 2000.

I had a long day. Can I borrow your Kool-Aid? It will surely alter my perceptions better than alcohol.

IMO, Nader will have a lot less traction against Obama than he would have against Hillary.

With his meaningless but well delivered speeches on "New Futures of Fuzzy Bunnies and Marshmallow Sunshine for All", I don't think Nader will have an impact that registers at the electoral college level.

Quoted for truth. Nader has had very little real effect on previous elections and I doubt he'll have much on this one. Last election, a couple Kucinich supporters I know jumped to Nader when the Kook dropped out. I think thats pretty telling about Nader's support.

Actually, I think he'd affect Obama more... The youth/green vote, you know...

For nader to be a spoiler, the election will have to be close.

Obama vs. McCain is going to be no contest. Nader would need to get more votes than Ross Perot to make a difference in an election like that, and there's something he'll never do in his lifetime.

Why, are voting for Obama?

you really imagine obama beating mccain? in the usa? you do know there are voters who don't live on campus right?

Pretty sure national polls show that happening. There are Republicans who have a lot of loathing for McCain. It's a definite possibility that they won't vote at all. The Democrats will vote Democrat, and the Obama love ought to get good turnout on their side.
If Obama wins, it'll be because Republicans stay home and say "to hell with it."

Why would you assume that a power-addicted woman who has shaped her entire life around this goal will go gracefully, and not burn down the party on her way out?

No.

But I'm reading the papers-it's pretty clear, if you look at the candidates, who is going to win a McCain vs. Obama race.

Yes-most voters don't live on campus, as far as I'm aware. And it seems that Obama is doing well amongst all sectors. He does better in red states than in blue, which is one big indicator as to how this election is going to turn when it goes national.

Obama also hasn't met up with someone who has _really_ called him on the "change" thing... Hillary's scared to buck that part of the democrats' game plan.
