Title: Primitive struggles with NJ election numbers
Post by: landofconfusion80 on November 07, 2013, 10:22:41 AM
Primitive can't seem to grasp exactly what a "blowout" is.

12%. That's all.
Christie beat Buono 60% to 38%.

Had just 12% of New Jersey's voters gone from Christie to Buono, she'd have hit 50% and won.
 
If the following Third Way cavalcade of crap hadn't happened, I think she'd have picked up much or all of that 12%:
 
1. Christie had the unabashed support of much of the NJ Democratic establishment
 2. The DNC pretended that she didn't exist, withheld money and support
3. The President refused to endorse her, thus tacitly endorsing Christie

Way to go, Lieberdems!
It doesn't really work that way, but cue the outrage!!!

4. Pretty sad that your voters are so weak-minded...

Hard to believe 1/3 of Democrats voted for Christie because their State Legislator our some County Chair endorsed him...
How dare they have an independent thought! back in line with you!

10. to heck with switching

if just 20% of the 1.92 million New Jersey voters who stayed home, had gotten off their lazy butts and gone to the polls to support Buono, she would have won.
 
I just wonder how many people get discouraged from voting by having the media report "the future" instead of the "news"?
 
Christie's gonna win easily.
Christie's gonna win easily.
Christie's gonna win easily.

I read some report about Truman's election that said something like this "lots of people who voted for Truman didn't think he was gonna win, but they voted for him anyway."
 
As if doing that was somehow illogical. As if a voter is supposed to vote for "the person they think will win" instead of "the person they HOPE will win". I cannot imagine voting that way, but apparently some people do.
At least they've acknowledged they're lazy. Step 2: do something about it, like find a job or something...

Why the long faces DUmmies, Christie has more in common with 0bama than he does with Cruz.

There was some thread over there yesterday asserting that McAwful's VA governor win was a landslide, even though it was 3%.  :mental:

Was that before or after the televised fireside chats?

McAuliffe like his former boss Clinton doesn't have a mandate, McAuliffe like Clinton never got 50% of the vote, 48% voted for McAuliffe but 52% voted against him.

I can sympathize. For the first time I can say I know how you feel.

1. McAwfull had the unabashed support of much of the Washington Republican establishment
2. The GOP pretended that Cuccinelli didn't exist, withheld money and support
3. Carl Rove and the establishment refused to endorse him, thus tacitly endorsing McAwfull.

Hurts to be betrayed by your own, doesn't it? Both our parties want our votes and our money, but neither party wants our input.
--this is where we differ: I won't be fooled again. You will.

I don't think DUchebag MannyGoldstein will be doing any rocket surgery soon.

Just remember they are smarter than you.

Are you trying to tell me that someone who got 60% of a vote would only get 48% if 12% had not voted for them?

That is just crazy talk.
