Means nothing. They always do this.

Good PR is all.

There are more than two parties, but none which are competitive on a national level. Countries with a first-past-the-post electoral system tend towards a dominant party or two party system - people see a vote for a smaller party as a wasted vote.

Well according to the Redskin rule he has

Redskins lost to the Panthers today

Romney wins!

Nonsense you say?
The rule has been correct 18 times and incorrect just once since 1940

Well our sources conflict. :pac: The kids say obama!

In a poll of a quarter of a million students who are too young to vote, Democratic nominee Barack Obama sailed to victory with 57 percent of the vote while Republican nominee John McCain received 39 percent.
It may be easy to dismiss the poll — orchestrated every four years by Scholastic, a children’s publishing and media company — as mere child’s play. But here’s the uncanny thing about this educational exercise: Since 1940, student voters have accurately chosen all but two presidents.
The two off-base years were 1948, when students picked Thomas Dewey over Harry Truman, and 1960, when they chose Richard Nixon over John F. Kennedy.

The kids have been wrong twice since 1940

The Redskins rule was only wrong once!

But this could also be the redskins second time getting it wrong. Or maybe the Redskins have simply become ****e or covert republicans that are trying to reinvigorate the party. The kids got it wrong with Kennedy because they thought Nixon looked like more of a mad cartoon character.....

6pm ET on CNN afaik

Not only the Redskins rule, but also most of today's NFL losers are cities in swing states. The football team winning usually correlates with a 1.16% swing to the incumbent.

It's all coming up Romney.

I don't envy the choices. One guy who is a social, religious and foreign policy train wreck, and another who lives in some dreamland parallel universe where money grows on trees, refuses to recognise reality, and will bankrupt the country.

Given that the latter scenario will have a much greater effect on us, I hope or the former.

There's a good chance Romney wins the popular vote, if not the election. That kind of chat is typical of arrogant east coast liberals who think every one else is stupid, even though 'everyone else' is 50% or more of America.

After all that Barrack O'Bama madness, please tell me that President "Willard" Romney isn't half Irish.

'Romney' sounds like a part of London maybe.

paul ryan is, and joe 'malarky' biden is too

Haven't had a chance to follow this

According to the bookies anyway this should be handed straight to Obama now. Is it really that clear cut?

Ryan, fair enough. Probably entitled to a passport too, maybe even get on the Ireland squad with that name.

"Malarky" is one of these made up words that getted associated/tagged as Boston-Irish or NY-Irish something, it's not Irish !

Biden ... German name.

Brian Schweitzer
2016 Democratic nominee
25/1

Place a bet and you have to wait 4 years of course but I like the odds

Ladbrokes has 9 Democrats ahead of him but he has a great shot

Dark horse

Very off topic

He'd be very tough to beat in the Presidential election. Problem is the same as any 'reasonable' Republican: He has to get past his own party's base. You really think a D who supports the death penalty and says he "owns more guns than I need, but not as many as I want" is going to get the nomination from the powerbases of California or New York Democrats?

What difference does population size make? Italy has a cartload of squabbling parties and is that country any better off for it?

Just in time before the US presidential election, that's if it is not stalled by some last minute false flag or assassination attempt.

In what could be the most stunning video indictment of President Obama and his administration’s policies this election year, a YouTube video reveals the fallout of the “hope” and “change” Obama promised in 2008.

YouTube user TheVisualEdge explained that he assembled the seven-minute video, “Conservatism is Calling,” “to get people excited about the election.” The user notes, “I was not hired or paid to create this.” The video description refers users to a website for Hollywood Director Chris Corrado.

Explosive video indictment of Obama rocks YouTube

The Obama administration is no friend to Ireland

I'm glad they used scary music and fancy graphics because simple arithmetic is way beyond my comprehension.

It genuinely doesn't seem to matter at all as corporate financiers have the president skip to the beat of their drum.
