Because that's how Censoredking stupid the market system is. If "wall street" didn't keep second-guessing the flickin' economy we wouldn't be in this mess.

I'm about 90% sure I'll vote for Bama, but maybe I'll have a last minute Johnson urge (yes like that kind).

But Indiana is so red it doesn't even matter either way.

Agreed.  That was disgusting.

I'm in between tomorrow night being down to 2 possibilities:

1) About 24 hours from now, the election will be too close to call, and we won't be any closer to knowing who won.

2) Romney wins in a landslide. Although since that article, they've updated it to Romney getting 333 electoral votes (or was it 330?) instead of the original 320.

Nevermind, it is indeed 330.

And while both professors point out the potential flaws in their polling, they haven't been wrong since 1980, so they might be on to something.

That being said, I'm still voting for Johnson tomorrow. Kentucky is a state that is as red as can be, so I might as well vote for the person I feel the most principled about.

Edit: The most interesting aspect of the model to me is that Romney wins every state that is currently viewed as a "swing" state.

Pretty good debate. The more I hear from/about Johnson, the more I'm in favor of him. I really like the guy; he's smart and has some great policies. Stien is pretty good, but too Left-wing for my tastes. Moderation was much better than the last third-party debate.

They're delusional. Obama is more similar to Mussolini than Paul Ryan is.

There is no left to right spectrum, that's just a tool to get people onto "teams".  The true political spectrum has anarchy on one end and totalitarianism on the other.


Time always wins.

Oh sorry, my mistake! I think that it's great that they're going to the extremes, even though Stein is slightly left of center in ideology.


I find Stien to be pretty left whereas I find Johnson (my favorite candidate) to be more of Center-Right

Not on economics. Stein reminds of a stereotypical Green Social democrat that I see on my alumni's campus. Johnson is similar to Milton Friedman's economic policies. Both are center left on social issues.


True, but overall, Left and Center, respectively, at least how I see it

No, Johnson reminds me of some of my uncle's friends in Hong Kong when they're doing their political stumps about getting rid of the minimum wage, free trade, no taxes, etc..,
