    Scott Brown!

    The big conundrum...

    I like Brown, and I don't think he has done anything in the Senate that warrants losing his job. As an independent that is important to me. BUT...I do worry that what we have seen is Brown on his best behavior knowing that he had a very short term before needing to get re-elected. I also figure he will be on every GOP VP shortlist for 2016, and he may feel the need to impress his party's far right wing.

    As for Warren...I like the "you didn't build that alone" speech very much because everything she said was dead-on right. It has been twisted since then, but she said nothing on that stump that I disagreed with. However, I'm just not sold on the rest of the package. I don't like the lawyer background, I don't like the native American nonsense, and I don't like the creeping feeling that she was "installed" as a candidate by the national party.

    As I said, I have never been this undecided this close to an election. Ugh...

    I feel for you but I think Scott Brown will caucus with the republicans 90% of the time and will only be "independent" when the vote doesn't really matter or its an issue of no significance, "National Chocolate Cookie with Peanut Butter and Candy Corn Day." Warren may be far left, I'm not sure if she is, but she'll be reigned in by some degree by her party. Scott Brown will be arm twisted into voting for that radical right wing agenda and made to play along to get along. If Obama is going to have a chance of getting anything accomplished in the next 4 years, he needs more than 60 D votes. Warren in Brown's seat would help get him closer to that goal.

    I can't vote in Massachusetts so I get to watch from the sidelines. And I think Scott Brown will be re-elected despite what the polls say.

    Peace.

    obama earns my vote
    why?
    because i just cannot trust mitt romney due to his bullshit and the guy has a whole fucking lot of bullshit

    mitt is a fucking scam artist and a very wealthy thieving lying clown who takes business from the u.s.a. and starts up shop in chinese sweat shops. i can't trust a guy who has $250 million dollars and got it by fucking the little guy over as well as dislikes the little guy.

    mitt is wrong for what this country needs. mitt is just plain wrong for what i believe in. i believe in the little guy who is poor and works hard and has morals. mitt has zero morals when taking u.s. jobs to china to grease his pockets well & with gold.

    NO for mitt

    i feel that voting for the green party is throwing away a vote from obama which gets mitt closer to the white house. i guess we need more green voters. hopefully oneday soon this will happen; neither a democrat nor a republican... that'll be nice

    Ron Paul for president: I pushed for him for this long, fuck war, fuck ridiculous spending, fuck debt, he actually believes in the constitution... I'll give the old man a write in and vote for Gary Johnson next time if he runs

    Nobody for house rep: I can't stand Ron Kind and Ray Boland is just another fake conservative... nobody else is running in my district.

    Joseph Kexel for senate: A strong and solid Libertarian that is cool with chatting with you about how he'll perform if he makes it.

    I'm a big fan of comedy... and screwball conspiracy theories... and just plain bat-shit crazy shit... so I'm voting for President Obama.
    I really want to see people's heads explode and hear some more of the crazy bullshit. I hoping for the conspiracy where Obama was a Black Panther and is related to Hitler when the 20 year old Hitler went on Spring Break to Cabo and banged that Jamacian cocktail waitress.

    I didn't the first time around but I will certainly will vote for him this time. Especially with so much hate out there towards the President like this person whom we know so well for the rediculous things she says....
    Ann Coulter Calls Obama a *Retard*.

    What will she do or say if he gets re-elected? I could see her head explode.

    ...
    I kind of picture Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Dick Morris standing there like those Nazi guys at the end of 'The Raiders of The Lost Ark'... you know, when they open the Ark and their heads explode?
    ...
    Yeah... I guess if Rush Limbaugh's head explodes and Sean Hannity's face melts off... it would be kind of sad.
    ...
    Who am i kidding... it would be funny.

    I lost much respect for Coulter with that comment.

    But, I popped my head in this thread to say that after coming off a recent high of his show, I wish to hell that Bill Cosby was in the running.

    I'd vote for Rocky Anderson (Justice Party candidate) if he had a shot at winning, but since barely anyone even knows who he is, I'll go with Barack Obama again. Elizabeth Warren for the US Senate.

    Do media/news-outlet endorsements influence or make a difference in how any of you choose to vote?
