(18,541 posts)Same goes for Big Bird (and, especially, Bert and Ernie).
As was heard on NPR over the weekend: ""Binders full of women" is the dirtiest thing Mitt Romney has ever said in his life." O.K., but I don't want to crawl into that mind and be traumatized for life.

(1,250 posts)In that thread I proclaimed a 20% lead in the Popular Vote for President Obama. Minimum of 15%.
I posted this thread on Wednesday October 10th.
ELECTION SPOILER: Obama wins in a LANDSLIDE
First 7-Eleven's 7-Election tally (Obama 59%, Romney 41% as of October 22nd), then a recent Reuters poll predicting landslide & now this.
A 60 to 40 tally is DEAD on with my 15-20% margin. 20 points exactly.
I can't wait to hear my views validated.
There's so much disbelief on my thread predicting landslide for Obama.

(3,003 posts)I had a pair of big floppy glasses which I slit two small holes into the mask which I slipped the handles thru and over my ears. I wore grey slacks and a navy-blue blazer, just like Bush used to wear. I had SO much fun that night (but not nearly as much fun as I had four nights later when Clinton kicked Bush's ass out of office!!!)
