Good news for gas prices

[Diamondpilot]

Too late, his goose was cooked a long time ago. Te out of control had prices just sealed the deal.

If it was not gas prices his little press conference yesterday did him in. I really thought he would be unbeatable in this election, this coming from a Republican who leans right 90% of the time. Either way I am not voting for him. I would vote for Donald Duck first.

I can really care less about gay marriage. I feel that if you are gay you are gay, I am not going to change that. By allowing marriage it allows for partners to have benefits and off of welfare, medicare, and all forms of public aid.

I mean come on, if they want to be imprisoned by marriage like me then go for it but don't complain later.:laughing::thumbsup:

The issue is I had 8 people on my flight yesterday, 6 white males between 35 and 55, 1 black male who is about 50, and one Asian female who is in here late 30's. I ask them what they thought. 2/3 did not like the fact that Gay Marriage was being supported. This demographic makes up the voting pool so it tells me that 2/3 will not support him in this quest.

<Sigh> Most of the time during the last dozen elections, Donald Duck would have been a better choice than what was on the ballot

I want "none of the above" on the ballot!

In order for a new "QE" or other debt monetization schemes to be "doable," the price of crude must come down. Have no fear, the money printing (even though it is still going on now) will commence again soon enough and commodity prices will go higher.

That said, here's an interesting thought on the topic, too. Is it valid? Who knows...

What percentage of the public that will vote is represented by people taking flights on planes carrying 10 people?

Polling is used in political contests to determine which candidate is most likely to win. Much money and attention goes into making them as accurate as possible. But there is always the possibility of errors. Nothing has proved it so well as the presidential race of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred M. Landon. This polling mistake was made in 1936 by the Literary Digest which was a well read and respected magazine of the day.

They polled nearly 2.5 million American voters over an extended period by telephone. Four days before the election they stated the winner would be Kansas Republican Alfred M. Landon with the startling number of 370 electoral votes. The magazine clearly showed there is always room for human error. Whether voters changed their minds or whether they had kept mum about who they would vote for, nobody knew.

Surprise, surprise, election day saw Franklin D. Roosevelt run over Landon like a raging tornado. It was the largest landslide in any American election. Roosevelt won 523 electoral votes. Landon had 8. Many middle class Americans at the time had no phones, so mostly rich citizens were polled. They would as a matter of course voted republican

Many middle class Americans don't fly, their arms get tired.

Even now pollsters are having difficulty because of the number of people who don't have a telephone LANDLINE. And I sure hope they don't start calling my cell phone.
