Delusional Republicans

[Doctor Jack]

I was reading an article a little while ago about election results or something, and I went down to the comments section which was heavily populated by republicans. All of the comments were in the vain of

"Romney is going to win by more than 10 points!"

"Get ready for the Romney landslide!"

"Romney shock and awe is coming!"

"Nate Silver is retarded, Romney is going to win a landslide victory!"


My question is where are they getting this idea that Romney is going to win by 15 or 20 points tomorrow? Who is mainly responsible for feeding these very bizarre delusions?

1. I hope somebody checks on them tomorrow night and wednesday to make sure they dont hurt themselves

They are quite delusional, poor stupid bastards

2. It's in the secret e-mail messaging.

Like the one that says "Have you ever noticed how Obama always says "I" and not "we"? I think that is a little odd, don't you?" I swear to God, I heard that yesterday.

3. It really comes down to the turnout models.

The pubes think they have the right one, which necessarily means the polls (particularly the state polls) are all very, very wrong. This has been damaged to some degree by the national polls coming back in line with the state polls, but still....

The Obama campaign believes they have the right models. We find out who is correct Tuesday.

4. Just out of curiosity--

How conversant are you with Bayesian inferential models?

Been following Wang lately?

5. Found two more

"Minnesota is going to be one of the only states Obama is going to win and he is barely going to win that".

"Obama has already lost Ohio"


So Obama has already lost the Ohio, somehow, and Romney is going to have a near sweep of the EV. They have lost their minds

12. The President will not "barely win" my home state of

Minnesota. Last poll had him up nearly double digits. And Senator Klobuchar's lead is something over 40 points.

Silly freepers!

6. Jesus told them.

7. They're full of shit and they know it.

Wednesday their mantra will be all about "stolen election" .
Losers like this really make me laugh.

[Doctor Jack]

8. Is this the kind of crap they were spouting off in 2008?

Were they predicting a massive McCain victory despite being 7 points behind?

[SoapBox]

9. I would say that they are "scientifically"

pulling it out of their asses.

Sorry, I've got no other explanation!

10. They probably read my Landslide thread & mixed up Obama with Romney

ELECTION SPOILER: Obama wins in a LANDSLIDE

I chalk it up to being a typo.

11. I have actually read the term...

REAGAN LANDSLIDE!!!

Okay, delusional republicans. They seem really testy and on edge today. Seems odd to feel that way if they were truly on the verge of a REAGAN LANDSLIDE!

[Doctor Jack]

14. They do seem to be very irritable right before their man is going to win in a landslide

Their mortal enemy is about to lose by double digits. You would think they would be far less pissy

13. Was this perchance on Yahoo?

The crazies seem to live there.
