He has no plan for anything! Anything he ever has had a plan on he's run away from. Dude is gonna get blown out.

The good thing when running against an Incumbent in a bad economy is you don't have to make people vote for you, you have to make people vote against him.

This is the last election GOP can win with mainly white voters and well, don't underestimate that strategy.

PoliGAF 2012 |OT3| Kosmo Talking To Invisible Obama On A Chair

I second this

 

[Aaron Strife]

FiveThirtyEight

Obama pegged at having a 71.6% chance of winning.

302.4 electoral votes for Obama to 235.6 for Romney.

50.8% for Obama, 48% for Romney.

Now do I trust PD or Nate Silver?

I don't underestimate him. He has no shot.

 

[Black Mamba]

OMG, Romney campaign already on damage control for Clint Eastwood. Released a statement disowning him. AHAHAHAHA

That wasn't their goal. They wanted to soften Romney, make him a guy you can relate to. They think he (and Ryan for that matter) will do a better job of laying out their plans (lol) in the debates.

Even if he never gives a plan for anything, I don't see how this possibly turns into a blowout. Electoral possibly, but every purple state will be close.

 

[Byakuya769]

Speech was not memorable, people still don't know him

The Convention will be most remembered for Eastwood and the fact that every fucking GOP member who spoke apparently should be running for President more than Mitt

I agree. It was a serviceable speech for him. Not enough, however.

 

[HylianTom]

OMG, Romney campaign already on damage control for Clint Eastwood. Released a statement disowning him. AHAHAHAHA

I love love love these moments of unexpected comedy that inevitably come out of campaign indicents. This stuff is golden!

 

[codhand]

I think people here underestimate Romney a bit

Until that electoral map changes, I will continue to mock and underestimate in equal parts.

 

[Officerrob]

I'll go on record as saying I'm pretty unhappy with everyone involved that Clint Eastwood looked like a senile old man tonight.

By my count, Obama's 2008 speech spent 768 words on his domestic and economic policies. Romney's spent 260.

interesting.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Maybe we were wrong and Clint is completely lucid. Remember when we wondered why he would go support them after they shit on him for the super bowl ad? This is his payback

Now that is how you troll motherfuckers. Man I feel like watching Dirty Harry now...or the Dead Pool it's funny watch Young Liam Nesseson do schlock,

Who is underestimating what, Nate Silver did an entire write up about how Romney's plan to win only on the white vote is virtually guaranteed to fail

They could do that when they had at least some Hispanics, they lost virtually all of them and no amount of redistricting is going to help when you lost all minorities and women

Or Jim Carrey act his way to relevence.

Not if Romney gets 61% of the white vote. That is his magic number. Nate's write up had him at 58% best.

 

[RedSwirl]

Sorry to ask but... summary? People on my twitter feed seem to be freaking out about the convention speeches.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Very true. Its also just a fun movie. It's not good like the first two, but it's not bad either.

I love Liam's horror films shown is a movie that had Joe Don Baker in it,

This will happen again. I bet Obama talks in very specific terms next week.

Clint Eastwood is out in the wild. That's enough reason to freak out.

[Dude Abides]

Very workmanlike speech. Public speaking isn't Romney's strength but nobody expects it to be.

Mostly just disgust at the GOP.

Yeah I doubt that, granted its going to empty tissues boxes around here next week, I'll have my work cut out for me...eh not really, I just would be happier if people don't get circle jerky. Cynical humor doesn't mean you can't vote for the person.

Should have had him speak instead of Clint!

 

[Jackson50]

Romney's speech was mediocre. It was devoid of substance, of course; the segment on foreign policy was painful. But who expected otherwise?

The good thing when running against an Incumbent in a bad economy is you don't have to make people vote for you, you have to make people vote against him.

This is the last election GOP can win with mainly white voters and well, don't underestimate that strategy.

To the extent the economy harms Obama, it's already reflected in the polls. And Obama has maintained a modest advantage for most of the cycle. The polls might shift after the RNC convention. But that will prove transient. Essentially, Romney needs a boost to propel him over the hump. And I'm having difficulty identifying a potential boost.

GAF will be a jizz jar next Wednesday

 

[jmdajr]

Clint was a little odd.

Best ever.

Arnold!

 

[Snake]

I just wish Clint could have given a more self-aware joke speech.

"You know, my career has certainly provided me with A Fistful of Dollars, but I'll enthusiastically endorse Mitt Romney For a Few Dollars More. I don't expect Mitt to have a Sudden Impact on the unemployment rate, 'cause I know the President doesn't have Absolute Power, and it's never going to be A Perfect World. But President Obama remains Unforgiven in my eyes, for his inability to fix things over the past four years. His policies have taken us Every Which Way But Loose, and I implore you to vote him out of office Any Which Way You Can."

I'm going to try and approach next week as objectively as possible, but I fear I might gladly be facialized by the GAF jizz

Well that's just unfair. Now we know what rock bottom is, so by comparison the DNC will be godly.

Aka I really really want a Republican President because George W Bush made me a fortune and Obama has not

 

[bananas]

I want Obama's convention speech to have him talking to an invisible Clint Eastwood in a chair.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Romney gave a very solid speech; I missed the end of it though. Overall the last day of the RNC was very good.

 

[giga]

Piers morgan interview with giuliani about ryan's speech. What a hack.

MORGAN: And there were a few stories he was telling, the Janesville plant that shut down, as you and I know, that was shut down in President Bush's tenure, not President Obama's. So he was a bit naughty on the facts, wasn't he?

GIULIANI: Well, look, when people give speeches, not every fact is always absolutely accurate.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

PD, can you tell me why you thought it was solid? There was no substance or policy to it.

 

[bananas]

It was solid in that it wasn't a liquid or gas.

 

[thefro]

PD, can you tell me why you thought it was solid? There was no substance or policy to it.

Can someone pull up a post from 08 of PD bashing Obama for just talking about platitudes in his speech?

 

[markatisu]

Translated, it was a very dull and empty speech, I turned it off and the last day of the RNC was a joke
