Boy, won't it be a bitch when he has to pay all those people unemployment?

Not if he goes out of business. I'm sure he would work it so that 99% of the company's assets are liquidated and converted to his personal assets. He's not liable for their unemployment, his corporation is. You know, that imaginary person with free speech rights, but no actual body to be thrown into jail or punched in the face.

MaximumZero, we have a new challenge for you!

And where did the MZ face-punch meme come from?

Directly inspired by MZ's bountiful face-punching exploits, I thought.

I shall require a source.

Wow, just wow.  Can't believe CNN even did this interview, certainly MSNBC wouldn't have let this woman (Sean Smith's mother) say anything like this about the administration.

Looking at Nate Silver's latest estimates, it's not panic city for Team Obama yet, but they need to pay attention.

Silver still doesn't give Romney more than a 30% chance of winning the Electoral college if the election were held today, but that's about 29% above his chances just a week or two ago. And it's looking increasingly possible that Obama could draw less than 50% of the popular vote, even while winning. Never a good thing.

On RCP, Obama has shed 50 "secure" Electoral College votes, dropping from 251 to 201, thanks to five battleground states going back to the "true toss-up" category: MI, NH, PA, WI and OH. Ohio had been in and out of the toss-up ring all season, but Michigan and Pennsylvania had been essentially written off as safe blue for a couple of months now. North Carolina is turning into a likely red state, based on last few polls.

Obama had some really bad days 10/4-10/6; we won't know whether it's simply a debate bump or something else until those days drop from many of the polls.

EDIT: Also, RedKing, RCP doesn't account for "house effect" on polls like Nate Silver does, which could lead to some problems as they take Rasmussen at face value.

EDIT-2: The Senate Races still look very favorable to Democrats based on polling released during the same period.

Apparently, someone took my martial arts experience and ran with it as hard as they could. Memes are weird.

Well, and I remember some comment about it not helping you to sell things more. Then something about punching people in the face to make them buy stuff. That's where it started for me, but possibly I was merely unaware of its existence at that point.

I thought North Carolina was always fairly red. Am I mistaken?

It voted for Obama in 2008, and is more likely to be Lean R or Tossup this year.  Probably anywhere from 45%-50% Obama; the state has liberal northerners moving towards the Golden Triangle region (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) that helps boost Democratic numbers that are dropping off as old Conservadems either leave the party or simply die.
