Hi. My name is John Cole, and allegedly I post here.

Once again, I want to apologize for being so AWOL the past couple of days. I was just wiped out from the convention, recovered all day Sunday, watched the Stillers shit the bed last night, and then I had meetings today I had to go to. I have more meetings early in the morning tomorrow, so I am staying with Brian and Tammy, but I promise I will post some convention thoughts soon. Being out of town for a week just really put me behind the eight ball, but I will be back to speed and posting normally in no time. Yeah, yeah, the check’s in the mail, I’ll respect you in the morning, etc.

In the meantime, I thought this was great:

There are lots of ways for Obamabots to answer the question “Are you better off than you were fours years ago?” Some note that Jersey Shore is dead and Arrested Development is alive. Others point to the improving employment picture. Joe Biden puts it most piquantly: “Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive.” But who deserves credit for these events?
According to a Public Policy Polls survey of Ohio voters, 38% of Ohio Republicans say Barack Obama is most responsible for the bin Laden’s death, 15% say Romney, and 47% were unsure. The results were similar in North Carolina, where 29% of Republicans said Obama deserves more credit, versus 15% Romney and 56% unsure.

I love wingnuts.

    Voting question-I screwed it up in 2010 and would rather not screw it up this time. I’m a resident of Illinois and am registered to vote in Illinois, but I’m currently attending college in Missouri. The way I understand it, I mail an application for an absentee ballot to my local county government in IL, they approve it and mail me back a ballot, and I fill out the ballot and mail that back to them by election day?

    Also: An OFA guy came to my apartment yesterday looking to register people to vote. I told him I was registered in Illinois, and he said I can register in Missouri and that cancels my Illinois registration, or something. The two state governments coordinate to get rid of duplicates. Is that true? If I did want to pursue that, should I find an OFA office or could I just register at a library or something? (Also, if OFA is going to student housing in rural Missouri, is MO closer for Obama than I think it is?)

    Oh the 47% and 56% “unsure” are just in the middle of a massive denial. Now the two 15 percenters are something REAL special. It takes a massive amount of cognitive dissonance to go Full Retard and claim that Romney had anything to do at all with the death of Bin Laden.

    @Spaghetti Lee: Unless Illinois and Missouri have some unique sort of deal, they probably don’t “coordinate,” but it doesn’t matter. It’s not illegal to be registered in two places at once, and in fact it happens to most everyone who moves to another state – as long as you only vote in one place, of course!

    However, if you do register and vote in Missouri, and you go back to Illinois in the future, you’d want to confirm that your registration is still valid instead of just assuming.

    Not quite. 15% of people will tell a pollster that they think Romney deserves more credit than Obama for killing Osama. Any time you see a crazy stat like that, it’s worth remembering that these are people’s self-reported opinions made to somebody who probably interrupted them in the middle of dinner. I firmly believe that there’s a meaningful percentage of the population that is willing to lie to pollsters just to dick with them, and that their chances of doing so increase with the stupidity and obnoxiousness of the question being asked. It’s a useful alternative hypothesis to consider whenever you see truly crazy polling results. A variant on this basic hypothesis helps to explain the percentage of American high school students who can’t identify the USA on a map.

    After seeing this everywhere and even reading a long post about it on WonkBlog (arguing that voters are heavily motivated by partisanship) it occurred to me to think that this might be a case of ‘Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer’? Why would the pollsters even insert Romney as an answer to this question?

    It might be better to conclude that the results for the question for Ohio R’s was ‘38% said Obama, and 62% said Anybody But Obama’.

    Sort of. If you take the Ohio 15% who said “Romney” and add the 47% who said “not sure,” which is just as stupid as “Romney,” you get 63%. But the stats are for Republicans only . . . so taking current estimates that Republicans make up 42.8% of the Ohio electorate, you end up with 27%.

    Of course, I totally made up that 42.8% statistic, but it was fun.

    Redshift

    @efgoldman: Um, no. It won’t happen before the election, but in the long run, states do exchange some information in bulk. The Virginia voter registration application asks for as much information as you have about where you were previously registered, and if it’s another state apparently they’ll send it to them.

    They key points are that you can change your registration and vote at your college address (the Supreme Court affirmed that a long while back, even if Republicans are always trying to make it practically impossible.) You of course shouldn’t vote both places, but you can re-register at your home address at any point.

    I would guess that OFA is working in Ohio to support the senate race (and because of that, your vote would have more impact there than in IL.)

    Yakko77 on September 10, 2012 at 6:18 PM.

    And from the many posts one finds by using the Google “Obama firearms sales”:

    Provost recalled the firearm sales boom of 2008 and added that many of his customers are concerned about this year’s election as well.
    “We called it an Obama year and we’re having another one,” Provost said. “We had the best year we ever had the year he got elected. Gun owners here in south Louisiana panicked, like a hurricane panic. Gun owners are preparing for possible tougher gun laws like they would prepare for a hurricane. Many gun owners are scared of Obama.”
