A question for the CC DUmpster mods
« on: August 11, 2012, 06:51:57 PM »
The DUmmies, doing as DUmmies do, are pulling some bold predictions out of their asses concerning the November election. Is it possible to make a sort of "time capsule" thread containing only their most entertaining predictions (sans our discussion about said predictions) for easy viewing after the election?

Or--I believe I said this days ago, but perhaps not loudly enough--anyone's free to start a "primitive prediction thread" in the DUmping Ground, and I'd be more than happy to "sticky" it to the top there, for easy reference.

Sorry about that frank. I must have missed it. Today is the twelfth straight day that I've worked without a day off so I'm not as read up as usual.

No biggie.

I see chris_ put one up now.

After a couple of days, when people are aware it's there, I'll move it to the DUmping Ground, "stickying" it there.

It's stuck at the top of the DUmpster now. 

If anyone finds something else interesting, don't forget the link to the OP.

1. Nah, I'll let them enjoy their happy day.

It's not like another one will be coming along any time soon.

This post, which I originally saw in frank's 'happy days are here again' thread, is what made me think about DUmmie predictions.

I have a prediction.

Romney/Ryan 356/182 electoral, 55/44 popular.

Senate: R 57/D 42/ I1

HOR: R picks up 19 seats. I think my 85 IQ Capps will lose and that is a pick up in the worst homafia district in kalifornia.

I agree with Paul Ryan. We are at the crossroads. Americans have to choose between emulating Europe, or talk like adults, and roll back entitlements and spending. If America re-elects Obama, our path to Greece is clear. I was energized by the Ryan selection, and the huge crowds that support them, but I wonder if those of us that want to save this Republic have large enough numbers.
