Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The willow is too close to the house.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

    Ted Haggard is doing meth off a hooker’s dick.

    OH! Oh yeah, and the poll numbers look good too.

    And ARG–perhaps not the most reliable operation right now–has a new poll out on West Virginia with Obama leading by 8%.

    I guess the Ralph Stanley radio ad was a pretty good idea, huh?

    If we take CO, I’m guessing NM will follow.

    Thanks, cleek. You just ruined my day. The Dow crashed thru another pyschological barrier. Retires are SOOOOOOOO fucked.

    I’m buying stock in beer.

    I wonder if the rest of Colorado is sick of Dobson and that Colorado Springs nutbar crowd?

    If there’s video of Dobson crapping into a cup and sharing it with Ted Haggard please shoot me now because I could never be happier.

    Cleek— did you say 9000? Did you mean 8900 instead?

    My friends, the surge is working.

    The demographics along the Front Range have been shifting over the last 8 years, but it really didn’t become obvious till about 2 years ago. The city I live in (Longmont) used to be a Republican contrast to nearby Boulder, but it voted narrowly for Kerry in ’04. Our local crazy far-right congresscritter (Marilyn Musgrave) won by about 6 points in 2002, but last I saw, she was behind in the polls by about the same margin.

    What we have here is a line of falling dominoes. The wingers have a choice– give up on reality, or get a grip. My guess (see 50’s social-psychology classic "When Prophecy Fails" on cognitive dissonance) is that reality takes a beating.

    Count me in as another CO resident that grew tired of Dobson and his ilk years ago.

    I’m not surprised by the graph. Even my husband, a born and bred Weld County Republican, is planning to vote for Obama.

    Nate Silver at 538 has more info on the recent ARG poll results from West Virginia. Basically: he kinda doubts ARG, but Obama’s strength in PA suggests he is getting support from the "Pennsyltucky" part of PA. If so, that is probably carrying over to WV. (I also do kinda think the Ralph Stanley ad is effective; it was meant for Virginia, but could be effective in WV as well). Nate suggests a visit to WV might be a good idea for Obama. Even if it did not bring the state over, it be a strong media event.

    A wingnut Fatwa couldn’t be far behind. There’ll be outdoor revivals, bill boards, and Sunday Sermons telling us the end is near — that Muhammad has returned to give you all a Jihadi rectal exam.

    @Capelza Gradenko: Speaking for us non-nutbars in Colorado Springs, we couldn’t be more tickled by Dobson’s discomfiture. And we don’t miss the Crystal Methodist one little bit.

    I was a state delegate for Obama and the sight of 10,000 cheering Democrats at our state convention was wonderful. 5x that of 2004.

    Things are changing around here in a big way. From what I see on my daily commute – which doesn’t include the downtown and western liberal bastions of town — Obama stickers outnumber the McCain by several orders of magnitude.

    Okay, slightly OT, but I’ve found out I will be doing outside poll watching in Franklin County, OH.

    I know it’s a blue county with heavy early/absentee voting, but any more info anyone would care to provide?

    Thanks?

    Hey, from all of the maps I’ve seen, NM (where I am) is generally bluer than CO. Nothing against CO, I love beer (not looking at you, Coors).
