MC Nietzche posted:The problem with this I think is that it would be seen as hedging, if he was all in he'd run in KY, instead he's trying to save his senate seat etc. etc. I love how a guy whose platform is essentially "government sucks, can't do anything right and should be made smaller" is too scared to lose his place in that same government. Mooseontheloose posted:No one cares about the VP slot either, unless you are monumentally bad like Palin was. People say this all of the time but I'm not convinced it's true. I remember caring about Gore, Palin, Cheney, Lieberman, Biden to an extent, Ryan...poo poo, even Ferraro. I think the VP slot is there to round out the ticket/platform and to attract voters who aren't 100% entirely keen on the nominee. I think it matters. At least it matters to me because it tells me something about the candidate. As "monumentally bad" as Palin was, she (for some reason) fired up the base who was lukewarm on McCain BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Jan 28, 2015 |

Necc0 posted:Interesting you should bring that up because she has a tendency to both begin and end sentences with 'it' and when the words are all-caps my algorithm can't distinguish between what's starting a sentence and what's ending one. So occasionally there will be tweets with the sentence 'It.' in the middle. And there's even one tweet that's just that: It. Did it find anything strange in the way she uses the word "that"? Instead of saying "The debt is too big", she tends to say "That debt is too big" or "That x they have is blah blah ". I'm not sure why but it really grates on my ears.

They're ok with the grand jury process when it's used to acquit cops who kill black people, but not when it's used to indict a governor, I guess.

At least it matters to me because it tells me something about the candidate. Running mates are something of a reflection of the decision-making process of the nominee. A good pick matters in that it confirms good judgment, while a bad one raises doubts. Hence good running mates have little positive effect on the ticket, while bad ones can hurt. Palin's net value is questionable, because the people she fired up were solid Republican voters to begin with and the bulk of them didn't like McCain. Meanwhile, centrists who were OK with McCain were turned off by her and became more likely to vote for Obama.

Yeah, it's anecdotal, I know, but I know several Republicans who were going to vote McCain, but after he chose Palin said, "It's essentially the first choice he makes as President, and that's his choice? Never mind, can't vote for him."

I agree with all that but what would you say about the net effect of Lieberman on Gore's ticket or Cheney on Bush's? The former turned a lot of people off to Gore and I think, conversely, Cheney arguably added some right wing credibility to GWB.

On one end he is sheltered by the massive amount of wealth in the area. On the other he is sheltered by the fact that the city and county basically do the opposite of what he would do on every topic. And yes, the governor seriously takes a motorcade from his Milwaukee home to Madison every loving day because he doesn't want to live in "liberal Madison". What a waste of money. My friend lives down the street from his house and they have cops in the driveway 24/7 because everyone in the neighborhood hates him and he's afraid of vandalism.

Plenty of states have their governors prefer to use the official residence for formal events only. Rick Snyder's the same way in Michigan, only without the motorcade. He lives outside of Ann Arbor, and only uses the governor's mansion in Lansing if he absolutely has to. This is partially due to him being a wonkish, antisocial introvert, and not participating in any of the typical political afterhours stuff in Lansing.

TARDISman posted:Ok seriously, what the gently caress, how can Walker look at the smoking ruins of Wisconsin and think "Goddamn, this sure is a good thing." Also, Scott Walker posted:Those groups in Washington, they tend to measure success by how many people are dependent on the government. We measure success by how many people are no longer dependent on the government. I doubt Walker can win the primary (especially if the money lines up behind Bush or Romney), but supporting the Republican Party at this point requires such a strong ignorance of basic facts that they can literally proclaim the opposite of objective reality (e.g., that Walker's platform has led to any job creation, much less the huge numbers he's promised time and time again, even though the state has been in the lower half of the 50 states in jobs created, since Walker took office) and get away with it. So, that's how Walker can say stuff like that.

FMguru posted:As much as lefties hated in, the Lieberman pick was widely popular. Gore never got such good media coverage as when he picked Lieberman, and his poll numbers peaked after the pick. Lieberman was also McCain's real pick for VP in a unity ticket and would have honestly won him more votes the Palin did. Reaching across party lines as a Maverick would have been way more respected then an idiot.

The former turned a lot of people off to Gore and I think, conversely, Cheney arguably added some right wing credibility to GWB. Unless you really gently caress up your pick, who you pick has an at best marginal effect. We care because in comparison to the rest of the nation we possess unbelievable levels of political nerdery. The amount of people whose vote changes depending on whether Hillary picks Webb or Castro is probably somewhere between the number of people voting based off which pantsuit Hillary chooses and those voting based on how sexy S.E. Cupp looked when she talked about how much she disliked Hillary the day before the election.
