Speaking of, does anyone know the tiebreaker if that actually happens?

yes, Romney wins
it goes to a vote in the 435 member House of Representatives Quote:
on that map, I will say very good chance Romney gets Florida, the people that go to the polls may choose Obama just like in 2000 they chose Gore, the GOP machine is even stronger now, than it was in 2000, how and if some votes are counted, = Romney win also, pretty good chance Romney can win in VA, not a for sure thing, bit good chance, with those two, the real factor, the only one that really counts is Ohio, yes, I know he needs to get one other small state, and at least one more is likely but without Ohio, a few other small states will not be enough

one candidate is 38 electoral votes ahead (and 67 if putting statistical ties in the toss-up category) >>> Obama ![]() Let's say it's tight at the moment (though the fundamentals are probably still leaning to Obama).

It was a smart ass comment. I mean - when push comes to shove - the same number of people that were watching Bill Clinton's incredibly important speech at the DNC - were watching Honey Boo Boo that night.
So we can pretend that X% of those women surveyed (and if it were men, I'd have said sports or something) actually care about those things - primarily - or we can just admit that there are a significant number of men and women in this country that care a lot more about superficial pop culture entertainment BS than about the real issues facing this country, regardless of what that survey tells us that 'swing state women' care about. And these people are choosing the next President. Not you or I. These are the people that somehow remain undecided. So whether they are labeled swing state women or red state men, there is a percentage of ALL of these groups that are just plain uninformed. Whether they are registered to vote or not. And also, I am of the opinion that the debates are highly rated - only because these vapid drones are on Twitter - and it was trending everywhere. And this has always been true but social media has made it worse. Maybe that is a thread unto itself. The dumbing down of America.

Men watch Honey Boo Boo and women watch sports. I just finished watching the ALCS. I watch sports and reality shows and still have the brains to make an informed voting decision . Many people do the same thing.
I think things are so bad for some people that they want an escape. Doesn't automatically mean they're dumb - or dumbed down. I've never watched Honey Boo Boo-not my thing and I feel sorry for the kid. I've seen clips on The Soup.

The Republicans making hay out of this comment is deplorable. The president was asked if the question asked if his response was optimal. He replied that it's never "optimal" when Americans are killed. All he was doing was using the phrasing that Stewart used. To suggest that this phrases indicates a flippant or careless attitude towards those who lost their lives indicates an utter disregard for context and tone and is frankly disgusting.

Like I said in the thread about Benghazi - what about GWB's reaction to the Iraqi War fiasco? At least Obama is taking responsibility (I know, Hilary is taking it the most, but Obama is too). I think he could've done it sooner, but its better than never!
