This guy is running unopposed for the local school board.
There are wankers on all sides. It's easy to find a bunch of idiots voting for idiotic reasons for every candidate.
The way forward isn't to point out the unfortunates, it's to try and work with the more sensible ones and come together where we can agree on something reasonable.
There are wankers on all sides, but there are a lot more wankers on their side. I don't feel at all bad about saying that.
Everyone is scared to oppose him

They can only wank with masive doses of viagra at their age
Missouri though.Put a green hat with buckle on that guy and there is the leprechaun.
He probably put all of his opponents into his woodchipper, Fargo-style.
well put Grin.
I have said the same stuff. When I spoke to my boss today aboutthe elections, his fear was that the moderates on both sides were being 'forced out' so to speak.
That is true...think on our side there less bluedogs around and for them it is very obvious the teabaggers/religious types have taken over.
But if Bohner brings legislation that he thinks will have support across both parties, then perhaps we can get somewhere.
He needs to have the guts to know that not all on his party will vote for the bill....but that it will have bipartisan support.
I reckon you might see somebody like Bloomberg running next time and uniting all the moderates.
a third party candidate only helps one or the other.
think we are stuck with the 2 party system.
too much vested power in both parties.

I find it hard why in the US there never has been viable 3,4 or 5 parties
Because of the way the electoral college works. You can get millions of votes and not have a single electoral vote. Makes it very tough for a newcomer to make any impact.
At Presidential level it just doesn't really work with anything but 2, with the electoral college being a winner takes all contest. I'm not sure why there aren't more third parties/indies at congressional level though, it would seem the best way to build up.
You would think their would be regional parties in Congress and HR
Because while we're demographically diverse, electorally, not so much. Even when one party runs hard to the right like the GOP has, the response from the other party is to grab for the center. There's just not that much room in the middle, and running outside the middle is rarely a winning gambit.
Isn't Minnesota's politics dominated by the DFL bunch, even at governor level?
We're going to have a regional party soon enough. Republicans.
It's just the Democratic Party with a funny name, though.
Not necessarily, there's a good variety of them this time round. Gary Johnson/Virgil Goode will be taking some votes away from the GOP, as will Jill Stein/Rocky Anderson from the Dems.
If you're not living in a swing state then there's no harm in voting 3rd party, it'll at the very least send a strong message to the establishment.
Whats the deal with them though? Why the need to affix the whole 'farmer-labor' label.
I just got back from voting. Ran into a couple of Black Panthers. We went out back and smoked a bowl while they told me some Angela Davis stories. A good time was had by all.
It won't, really.
Some rumours of low turnout in some key dem, and high in gop areas in Ohio.
Probably twitter bullshit.
Though florida looks promising for Obama.

Yeah I guess that makes sense, there's less of a party platform than there is over here.
Brillant
I'm reading that they're on track to surpass 08 in Cuyahoga and Franklin, but haven't done so yet.
EDIT - just Cuyahoga actually, can't find any mention of Franklin now I look back.
My niece and her husband just voted in Cleveland, Ohio.
They voted Romney.
You all know who to blame now.

Ta, consider myself educated.

I bet he tells her how to dress too.
Made me chuckle
Fox News Blonde Lady apparently doesn't understand absentee in person ballots. She compares it to fat free lard. No one laughs.
It certainly does if they reach the 5% vote level. I believe then they qualify for matching funds and whatnot which would help for the next time around and so on. Until they can get some mass publicity they will remain irrelevant.
a few more hours until polls close and results come in.
