That brie is farking good cheese, "liberal elites" don't run in packs with secret handshakes, and that the people from Princeton know a shiatload more than you do, subby?

maybe we should get an undergrad sportscasting class at the university of idaho to build one to even things out!

i think... i hope... subby's being sarcastic.

if he/she is serious, then he she should:

FlashHarry: i think... i hope... subby's being sarcastic.

Subby spelled "camembert" correctly. I would assume that means subby a) knows what camembert is, and b) is most likely being sarcastic, or c) really, really hates soft French cheeses.

from the site's FAQ:

Why should I believe the Meta-Analysis? In 2004, didn't it predict a narrow Kerry victory?

Actually, the method was fine, but its inventor, Prof. Sam Wang, made an error. In the closing weeks of the campaign, he assumed that undecided voters would vote against the incumbent, a tendency that had been noticed in previous pre-election polls. Compensating for the "incumbent rule" had the effect of putting a thumb on the scales, lightly - but unmistakably - biasing the outcome.



Again, the UFIA factor rears its ugly head.

You were sure Gore was going to win and lost control when he didn't. You devoted yourselves to bashing Bush and undermining his presidency at every possible turn. After 4 years of spewing your hatred there was no way the idiot electorate could vote him back in. You were so sure Kerry had it in the bag. You were devastated when he lost. After 4 more years of comparing Bush to Hitler and Pol Pot, accusing him of war crimes and treason, there is no way the idiot electorate could vote another Republican into office.

Right?
Right?!

I am going to laugh my ass off when Obama loses.

 
RedEyedWings 2008-09-07 09:52:33 AM  
Do you know what I predicted after reading this headline?

When I go shopping later, I'm totally grabbing a nice, double-creme brie and some bretons.

I also predict that my country's election will be much less fun than yours, but won't drastically fark up everybody's shiat.

 
rcain [TotalFark] 2008-09-07 09:53:42 AM  
Hey subby, these are the same elitist, snobby, ivory-tower, "should I have the brie or the camembert" Ivy League douchebags that predicted Bush's victory in 2004 (new window).

So stuff that up your ass and squeeze on the bag.

I loves me some brie with a nice red. Like to stop and get a latte on the way to work in my beemer while playing new age music in my 10 cd changer.
After work I like to attend the local art show and sip champagne while discussing various pieces of modern art.
This year I will be attending Oktoberfest in Hamburg.
It's good to be an "elitist" .

i'm as liberal as they get. and if i'm not too stoned to read that chart, yay goBama.

etc.

 
FlashHarry [TotalFark] 2008-09-07 10:06:44 AM  
btw - i'm sure subby'd hate me. i love brie and camembert. i love red wine (the rodney strong cab is a great buy at costco right now, btw). i drive a bmw (albeit a 7-year-old one), and.... i'm typing this on a mac!

flies in the stereotypical ointment: i'm fiscally conservative and i love my republican senator!

We should, shouldn't we?

We should also be writing things like this ourselves. It seems as if this what many McCain supporters respond to.

That said, what kind of sad person, looking at the state of the nation, would want four more years of this crap? It boggles.

Pretty much the same as the redneck, good ol' boy, Wal-Mart, "should I have the sliced American or the cheese-whiz" trailer park statisticians would have concluded (if they could count).

didn't you save these 4 years ago when you once again got your ass handed to you?

It's not cheese. Read the label. It's "pasteurized processed cheese food". Cheese food does not equal cheese.

I was most interested in the rolling average/daily average business which seems to suggest the electorate is highly volatile and responsive to the last thing they heard.

the use of "Ivy League educated" as an effective slur is all you need to know about the electorate of this country. We deserve exactly what we get

 
Bacontastesgood 2008-09-07 11:48:26 AM  
Subby hasn't worked with too many pollsters and statisticians. The reality is more like should I get the salsa rio or ranch doritos out of the vending machine to go with my cherry coke? Yes, even at Princeton.

The Siberian Candidate will not win. The Russian-backed sessionist Alaska Independence Party husband will deny he changed his name from Palinsnikov and that the remnants of the KGB, posing as hockey coaches, have instructed her every day for three years, ending only with her victory in a state with less the population than El Paso.

I think Luntz said something very similar; that this was one of the hardest elections to predict that he's ever seen. Either way, tis going to be interesting.

I loves me some Doritos and some Miller Light.
I loves me some Lynrd Skynyrd and George Thorogood.
I loves me some football on Saturday.

I also love being aware of the system and how it actually works and that the Democrats are running this by the numbers, and running it tight. Electoral College is the game, and it's not a game you play craps with.

I hates some GOP hypocrisy. Does that make me elitist?

Only if McCain is elected, strokes out in office and we are left with a Fundie as POTUS.
