I am listening, and the message is that florida is gonna vote for Bush. His popularity has surged since the hurricanes due to his expedient reaction and decent handling of the crisis. So, adamist, your theory is shit, like most of your other theories (i.e. Klingons choose Kerry, et. al.). Quit being a stooge. Admit that your guy sucks and get on with it. Your party fucked up in the primary, and you cannot handle it, so you are desperately attempting to convince all thirty or so of the people on this site that they should vote for Kerry. As the election draws near, you seem to get more pathetic in your plea. Let's say, if Kerry won, what the hell would you post to this site anymore? We've given up on you. Just watch your TV, read your news blogs and commune with the Klingons. LEAVE US ALONE!

So, here's the thing: those aren't the tracks of the hurricane. Widely refuted from Atrios.

Well, you'd have to take popular density into account. For example, scroll down this page -- http://synapse.princeton.edu/~sam/pollcalc.html -- to see an electoral vote weighted map of the country (shaded red and blue based on current polls). Compare to this map: http://www.race2004.net

Heh, ok, so snopes shot a bit of a hole in it, I don't care, it's still funny as hell.

I believe you have pretty much hit the nail on the head. However, you forget about Bin Ladin's use of the snakehead fish to attack Maryland's waterways. To think that three years ago we had our panties up in a bunch over Anthrax, Small Pox and cropdusters! How foolish of us! It was Bin Ladin all along. But, rattle, do you really think he has allied himself with the fearsome "El Queda?" We know that the Mexican terrorists are among the most ferocious kind. If they have joined forces then C.O.B.R.A.'s involvement cannot be far off. This has all the earmarks of a true disaster.

Yes, it is excellent when an idiot like Adamist cannot research his post well enought to find that it is fraudulent. Maybe this is a Klingon trick! Acidus, you are a fool as well.
