SedanChair posted:This is gonna be hilarious. A republican candidate's biggest challenge (other than painting their policies as not retarded) is being drug around in the primaries. If Jeb clears the field in three to four primaries then he's in a pretty good position. Add in that no one gives a poo poo about secstate outside of polisci nerds and that she's going to be tied to everything related to Obama, gives Jeb a good shot.

Wouldn't it really be that much worse if we just made Vince McMahon dictator for life?

evilweasel posted:Saying Romney got 47% of the vote is a little misleading about what it takes for him to win - he did, but because Democrats have an edge in the current layout of the electoral college he probably would have lost at like 50.5%.

We've got a big rear end manufacturing sector so whenever the stupid app bubble bursts I don't think we're going to go all Kansas, on the other hand living in the Bay Area might become cheaper so that'd be nice.
