No. Now where does that leave you?

Meanwhile, OMG, and those like him, are welcome to be as assholish as they want, especially since they seem to have no clue just how counterproductive their behavior is. I'm just pointing out that such behavior (or, as Starving Artist repetitively, and inaccurately, puts it: "Giving as good as I get") convinces no one of the correctness of their point of view. At best, it's of no greater meaning than throwing tomatoes.

You assume they're trying to convince people of their correctness, and thus call it counterproductive. But that's a big assumption.

538, Nate Silver, Vegas odds, whatever do not matter. You do not understand the level of dissatisfaction with Obama's policies around the country. In your insular, poll-driven microcosm of liberal elitism, you have lost the bigger picture.

It will be like Reagan/Carter.
Another candidate for Deep Cover Liberal, perhaps? Seriously... this guy/gal can't be serious... !!!

Also, our good friend moonshot is proving beyond a shadow of a doubt in that thread that he/she is a DCL.

I like your theory about Klaatu.
