Great in depth interview with the data guy for Obama's campaigns and Ready for Hillary.quote:SI: So let’s talk about something I assume super PACs will never do on their own: determine electoral-college strategy for a nominee. You managed the map for Obama in 2012. How early can you start identifying your battleground states? Also goes into the tricks used to build the email list and mentions that the typical Obama campaign volunteer was an older, white woman who they're confident they can convince to volunteer for Hillary.

thrawn527 posted:Has Marco given any indication that he'll also be running to keep his Senate seat? Because he's up for reelection this year. I assume while he's still in the primary he will be, but after that if he actually gets the nomination? I know there have been instances of VP candidates also running for their Senate seat (Lieberman in 2000 comes to mind) but I can't think of if it's happened for a party's actual Presidential candidate. Seems like it would be seen as showing a lack of confidence. Wow I didn't realize this. He's a fool. At 43 years old, why not remain a Senator for a few more terms and see how things develop for the GOP. His decision to run now is just insane. Is his Senate seat vulnerable at all; do the people of Florida want to get rid of him as their Senator?

Jerry Manderbilt posted:I remember a few months back in the Obama SoTU 2015 speech thread, when Enigma89 brushed off Rand's stance on Civil Rights with "yeah I guess that's relevant when you're being blown to pieces" and then I said "yeah well he's fine with drone-striking domestic shoplifters" and he ignored that to respond to another poster pressing him on the CRA. This is just expected, since Libertarians don't actually care about reducing death abroad. They care about getting Republicans elected to gently caress the poor here at home. Nominate an anti-war socialist like Sanders, and they'll line up behind Bush because he's the Freedom candidate.

It's more the people of Florida want to get rid of their governor. A run here will help him build his network and machine, and hey who knows, he might even win. But he will definitely be in a better position to replace voldemort in a few years

I think my favorite line in Rand's stump speech is "we need to go boldly forth under a banner of liberty that clutches the constitution in one hand and the bill of rights in the other." Aside from the problem of banners clutching things, he seems to believe that the bill of rights is not part of the constitution, which would mean he doesn't think that of the other amendments either, and he doesn't seem too concerned with ensuring we keep clutching amendments after the 10th. There's some pretty important ones further on, Randy!

Chris Christie visited Chez Vachon, a diner in Manchester, this morning. One of the patrons had heard of him before.quote:As the New Jersey governor and potential Republican presidential hopeful shook hands on Wednesday at a diner about 240 miles (386 kilometers) from the bridge that connects New Jersey to Manhattan, he stopped at a table where attorney Richard Moquin was eating breakfast with friends. This is not the first time a candidate has run into trouble at Chez Vachon. In 2011 Mitt Romney stopped in and was asked by a veteran if he'd ban gay marriage. ![]() Romney was then informed the man was eating breakfast with his husband.

Concerned Citizen posted:Obama can campaign all he wants for Hillary. The only outcome is Associate Supreme Court Justice Barack Obama. Even better if he replaces Scalia, but I'll take him as a replacement for Ginsburg. I'm not even joking--I honestly think that if Hillary Clinton wins the Presidency and a vacancy on the court comes up she should consider him.

There are no more things to bash Hilary about. They exhausted them in the 90s, went through the last clunkers in 2008, and resorted to grasping at nanostraws during her State Department run. I hope you are all prepared for the deluge of daily -gates about every worthless grain-of-sand-sized topic that no one will care about by the afternoon. Voters already have Clinton-scandal fatigue so the GOP will, of course, try to throw every possible thing at the wall to find that one silver bullet scandal that finally gets people to flip on her. And all of this will be interspersed with not-at-all veiled misogyny. 2016!

Literally everything she does for the next two years is going to be a scandal, and so are most of the things she doesn't do. She eats a burrito, it's a scandal. She wears mismatched socks, it's a scandal. There are a few days of unseasonably heavy rain in Zagreb, it's a scandal.
