I honestly hope that both Bachmann and Palin run and get to the final group in Iowa/NH. Just for the laughs, even though it will eventually turn to tears as I lose faith in humanity. Also, go Jon Huntsman, who should be labeled 'probably a goon.' Who was it in 2012's primaries that heavily supported him, Arzy?

But do the votes of NH and Iowa really matter in the long term? Even if you pissed off them enough that the states swung for one election, its only 10 electoral votes, total. How many presidential elections come down to 10 electoral votes? Now, I can see pissing them off affecting the state and local elections a bit more than national elections. But those elections tend to have far more to do with the election cycle than anything apparently.

shadow puppet of a posted:But by that time Sarah Pailin would have had four years 'learning foreign policy at the foot of the master', which was a real narrative in 08, so of course the world would be in a New American Century in 2012 and people would be clamoring to re-elect both the master and the padawan. But the "Master" is well known to have a bloodthirsty neo-con streak and make really stupid comments about foreign policy. And he wanted to get us into one more war with Iran, which would have been even more of a clusterfuck than Iraq as Iran actually has somewhat competant people in power. The Master is basically a 5 year old screaming a lot until he gets candy from the Kindergarten teacher. So of course they would choose Sarah Palin in 2012 in McCain world.

No Sarah Palin in that poll? I guess they left her out because it would skew the results; 40% for Palin, I'll bet.

There is something to be said to not up-stage Hillary, but its Bill Clinton. His speech will probably go down really early so that people have time to forget it by the time the nomination comes up.

Indiana is basically not going to happen. North Carolina has a decent chance though. One of the reasons Obama won NC in 2008 was incredibly high minority turnout at the time. The turnout wasn't quite as high in 2012, while rural turnout remained high let Romney squeak through. But a Hillary campaign should get enough cross-over women to flip that last percent back over to Blue, if played correctly.

My Imaginary GF posted:I'm not so sure on your last point, how much crossover minority vote did Obama receive? Very little. Mostly because minorities tend to vote extremely blue, so gains were mostly from extra turnout rather than cross over. But women vote relatively equal across parties. Sharing the same sex won't matter for most women, but NC had recently been close enough that a .5% or 1% shift could tip things over. Even stealing votes on the margin matters in swing states.

FAUXTON posted:Sumter was an American fort that the confederacy shelled, starting the war. I highly doubt they'd entertain a theory that involved the president blowing it up since that's their thing to do. The South didn't attack Fort Sumter. The Usurper "Honest" Abe Lincoln sent in Federal troops to the fort to be used to institute martial law in Charleston and hang the Leaders for State Freedom. The South didn't want a war, but they had to defend themselves from Northern Aggression and Anti-Constitutional justice systems.  Yes. This is what Southerners believe.

Well it was still an Obama election at the time. Unskewing in 2012 would have been too early because the main part of the theory was still active: Obama was uniquely suited to engaging minorities and the under 30 set. We'll see more in 2016. While I don't think this theory is correct, I also don't think it's wrong. Democrats have been riding Obama's coattails with minority voting and have done only a little more to secure their votes other than "not be racist republicans." It's pretty likely the demographic shift will continue to be noticeable but not a sea change.

Well that's a particularly deep brand of paranoia to think that the NSA is actively looking at your webcam. Sure they'll steal your dick pics and laugh at your goony micropenis but they aren't going to actively search for that stuff unless you are a threat.

That's what learning Japanese was like for me. My answer was "I like the architecture and find the warring states period interesting. Plus, it shares things with Chinese for later learning." The rest of the class didn't do anything except talk about anime.
