Looking good for Gay Marriage in every election so far although Maryland is close.

well, the house is still in GOP hands... mean 4 more years of gridlock, tbh

very true. I was looking out much further than just the next 4 years

[Latarian Milton]

Nope, we need more than 2 parties to effectively govern this country and bring more than just 60% into the fold. The two major parties are an epic failure that merely sandbags all other challengers to ensure their dominance.

It's why I vote 3rd party as much as possible

agree, triangle is the most stable structure in geometry and a tri-partisanship would work much better than the current dipole system imho

Pretty interesting that it appears that turnout for minorities may be equal to or surpass that of 2008. Also new young voters are less white.

Small govt should not be in your bedroom or up your vagini.

Ok, honestly, that made me laugh

[Trainwreck2100]

ing casshole is on nbc him and his prek bull

[Reck]

What's the latest in Florida? Who's leading?

[ElNono]

I would also say that Rubio is set to make a serious run in the next cycle. He's the one guy who can flip Hispanics toward the GOP. While the party ideology may be stale, they have plenty of stars who can make some waves in the future

this is a fairy tale. He's Cuban. He's got the Cuban vote, which the GOP already has. You'll be surprised what the average hispanic thinks about Cubans, tbh

[ploto]

Akin a jackass in defeat.

[DarrinS]

And yet you constantly post that is wrong. Why? You fall back on your history that no one here knows about. All we know is your posts and how often they are wrong. Why do you get so much here Darrin? Is it because turnout is not at 2008 levels or because polls are D+6 and they shouldn't be?

I didn't post anything wrong about Silver's model. There's really nothing wrong with his model. I was only su ious of the polling data -- about THAT, I admit I was wrong.

89% in... barry up by 14,000 votes

Can't change a tiger's stripes. What did he say though?

Truth bomb. I don't know many Hispanics who consider Cubans as allies.

[ElNono]

The GOP will earn the Hispanic vote when they stop with the "we're gonna kick all of you out"... Dems figured out they can still kick them out but just don't say it and earn their vote...

[LnGrrrR]

Look at the predictions this cycle by Republicans... many of them were predicting a landslide for Romney. I don't know what universe you're living in that lets you predict a landslide for Romney.

We need zero political parties at all... get the partisan herd mentality and crony $$$ out of the electoral process, and stop forcing the taxpayer to subsidize rigged primaries and conventions...

[MannyIsGod]

Well, the GOP usually isn't trying to kick Cubans out because its about Fidel with them.

[Mugen]

i just need Measure B to be defeated and i'm good. fapppppppppp

[MannyIsGod]

Whats the GOP's strong demographic? Its not women, its not the young, its not minorities. Its old white guys. Why is that? Everyone else just want more foodstamps?

[ElNono]

Well, the GOP usually isn't trying to kick Cubans out because its about Fidel with them.

Exactly why the Cubans love the GOP... they don't suffer the same immigration like other hispanics... they're all "refugees" and get a green card right away

[ploto]

Florida up to 90% Obama up by 36,000

People are too lazy and ignorant to not have political parties. What i cannot stand is the 'vote straight party ticket' on the ballot. That is encouraging people to be lazy and ignorant.

[Latarian Milton]

republicans just ed themselves by nominating someone who has no chance to beat obama tbh. paul, perry or maybe even gingrich would've beaten the fake by a landslide victory but they selected det one who is the least likely to threat obama

[djohn2oo8]

Obama down by 20,000 in Virginia
