I'm not saying I'm completely, essentially, or even kind of right. I'm completely basing this off your own definition of the word; if I'm wrong on that, it's your fault. ;P

Oh, okay - the thing is that my definition's pretty much shit

[Bauglir]

Oh, okay - the thing is that my definition's pretty much shit

would you describe your definition with the word it defines?

[Powder Miner]

oh god
i came into this thread to ESCAPE my english homework

This isn't English, it's German!

[RedKing]

To quote Dave Kellett, "The English language was carefully, carefully cobbled together by three blind dudes and a German dictionary."



I think Christie and Fiorina drop after NH. Carson...I have this weird feeling that Carson is planning to hang around till South Carolina, thinking he can win there because of the black vote. Without processing that the black vote in SC isn't going to be voting in the Republican primary. Then again, maybe Ben will get too caught up in doing laundry and just forget that he's campaigning for President.

Kasich has also said that if he 'gets smoked' in NH, he'll drop out, though I don't know what he would define as 'getting smoked' in the primary.

I think they should invite gilmore to the debates for the lulz, just a random thought I just had. Then again, he's the equivalent of a troll in an election candidacy.

"Getting smoked" is, of course, hanging out with Carson on primary night.

I'm not saying I'm completely, essentially, or even kind of right. I'm completely basing this off your own definition of the word; if I'm wrong on that, it's your fault. ;P But based on the way you worded your definition of the word, I think I'm not too far off base. And I apologize for the poor explanation of the difference between connotation and meaning. There is a distinction in my head, but it is a very fuzzy distinction, and it's hard to parse properly into words that evoke that distinction.

You're completely, essentially, kind of, and definitely entirely right.

So...there was a Democratic town hall last night. Did anybody watch? Me neither.


New tracking poll for NH seems to show Rubio coming on strong (up to 15% now), but Cruz's initial post-Iowa bump is still there (went from 9% to 14% and has stayed constant at 14). Trump is still dominant at 36%.

Looking at crosstabs, Trump is still killing it among those with household incomes of <$50,000 and those with high school or less education. Rubio's strength is among the wealthiest, college-educated voters. Rubio is also doing significantly better among female voters than male voters (dem spicy Latino looks...¡Caliente!).

The gender vote doesn't appear to be hurting Sanders in New Hampshire. He beats Clinton 61-32 among men, 56-39 among women. Likewise, He's actually winning the non-white vote, though narrowly (49-47, with 4% undecided/other).




EDIT: Amusing anecdote the other day. Was out with my kids getting some donuts, and the TV had a clip of Donald Trump speaking. My daughter is vaguely aware of who Trump is, and asked "Daddy, why is he making those weird faces?" I had to respond with "ALL his faces are weird." Cause, c'mon....have you ever seen a still frame of the Donald that didn't look hilarious?

I didn't even realize there was one scheduled. Sanders says the same thing every time anyways.

Did you see Rubio's comment on President Obama's mosque visit & speech? Apparently Rubio is living in Bizarro World...

And then followed it up by saying "We can disagree on things, right? I'm a Dolphins fan, you're a Patriots fan."
In a perfect world, some guy from Boston would have then charged the podium screaming "BRADY AKBAR!"

[smjjames]

Theres also a democratic debate tonight, the Democrats finally agreed to do four more debates, including one in California (YAY! We get some of the attention we deserve, lol). Theres also a republican debate this saturday.

I hate it when people do that shit. They rapidly disagree with you on something that has a moral and ethical dimension, then retreat back from it and act like it's "just like being a fan of football."

Hating Muslims has no relation to what fucking sports team you cheer for.

Nope. Got a link on that?
