It would probably help if you deleted the stuff from two, three posts back? Legolas Send a noteboard - 07/03/2012 09:25:40 PM
what I've said is lost in the green as I was replying to it

Even if you had neatly put your comments inbetween his, it would've been confusing what with you guys leaving all of the prior replies there - and it doesn't exactly help in keeping the posts brief and readable for others.

By the way, you're aware of the setting that puts all of the other person's paragraphs into separate quote sections so you can easily reply to them all without risking anything like this, yeah? You can switch it on individually per post by clicking the right-most button inbetween subject and body in the message posting form, or you can just set it as a general setting. Just a heads up in case that was the problem.

Now That Romney Is Officially the Republican Presidential Nominee: Pick the President! Joel - 29/02/2012 08:29:02 PM 1383 Views
I agree Romney will be the candidate. Tom - 29/02/2012 08:54:52 PM 745 Views
I would say the math favors Romney over Obama, but it will probably be close either way. Joel - 01/03/2012 03:37:52 PM 797 Views
I have never understood the point of the Electoral College. Tim - 29/02/2012 11:39:11 PM 798 Views
You don't think like a politician then Isaac - 01/03/2012 12:38:36 AM 850 Views
I certainly hadn't considered much of that. I'm glad you posted it. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/03/2012 07:15:03 AM 352 Views
I also have not seen most of that mentioned in the popular vs. electoral debate. Joel - 01/03/2012 02:34:31 PM 725 Views
what about one vote one value? wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:51:32 PM 887 Views
That has not really changed. Joel - 03/03/2012 03:30:34 AM 1001 Views
a bit simplistic and unrealistic wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:44:02 PM 777 Views
When illustrating a point realism is not required and simplicity is a plus Isaac - 03/03/2012 03:04:26 AM 805 Views
I have a couple quibbles. Joel - 03/03/2012 05:23:46 AM 829 Views
Oh, certainly, I'm over-generalizing but I was already getting long-winded Isaac - 03/03/2012 06:52:04 AM 763 Views
I hate when people do that. Joel - 05/03/2012 09:49:36 AM 789 Views
What a bunch of waffle! wadsy - 03/03/2012 10:47:19 AM 916 Views
First you complain of simplicity then of my lack of brevity? Isaac - 03/03/2012 11:18:11 AM 709 Views
A simplistic argument doesn't mean it's brief *NM* wadsy - 03/03/2012 09:55:51 PM 381 Views
Also I don't like this refrain that implies only the POTUS vote matters Isaac - 03/03/2012 03:29:58 AM 935 Views
IMHO, parliaments choosing prime ministers is LESS democratic than the electoral college. Joel - 03/03/2012 05:57:41 AM 732 Views
Re: IMHO, parliaments choosing prime ministers is LESS democratic than the electoral college. Isaac - 03/03/2012 07:02:30 AM 764 Views
*is learning* Joel - 04/03/2012 09:49:42 PM 764 Views
Re: *is learning* Isaac - 04/03/2012 09:56:16 PM 804 Views
To the extent I can (yet again) claim to speak for Europeans... Legolas - 04/03/2012 10:33:01 PM 738 Views
I've fairly limited exposure and that from some years back Isaac - 04/03/2012 11:35:12 PM 869 Views
Re: *is learning* Joel - 05/03/2012 12:08:08 AM 813 Views
You could imitate the French. Legolas - 07/03/2012 10:40:16 PM 759 Views
That seems... unlikely.... Joel - 08/03/2012 03:03:54 PM 755 Views
It does, doesn't it? Legolas - 08/03/2012 06:11:08 PM 946 Views
After I thought about it more, I realized France and the US are not so different in that respect. Joel - 08/03/2012 08:51:03 PM 719 Views
More similar than the other major Western democracies at least, agreed. Legolas - 08/03/2012 09:32:55 PM 705 Views
I did not realize lack of a parliamentary majority dictated his cabinet. Joel - 09/03/2012 12:27:31 AM 779 Views
I don't know much about Norwegian politics, but you seem to be wrong. Legolas - 03/03/2012 06:18:08 PM 795 Views
Do you happen to have that link, please? Joel - 03/03/2012 06:46:31 PM 656 Views
Sure. Legolas - 03/03/2012 06:58:07 PM 847 Views
Guess we did not read far enough. Joel - 03/03/2012 10:38:07 PM 779 Views
Yeah, you have to know a few things about European politics... Legolas - 03/03/2012 11:49:44 PM 994 Views
Hey, man, I am an AMERICAN: I do not HAVE to know ANYTHING! Joel - 04/03/2012 11:46:57 PM 994 Views
Re: Hey, man, I am an AMERICAN: I do not HAVE to know ANYTHING! Legolas - 05/03/2012 11:14:42 PM 1373 Views

Re: Yeah, you have to know a few things about European politics... DomA - 05/03/2012 06:56:24 AM 783 Views
The thing is, regions often have national relevance far greater than their populations would suggest Joel - 05/03/2012 10:21:26 AM 728 Views
Fascinating. Legolas - 05/03/2012 10:52:32 PM 782 Views
Re: Yeah, you have to know a few things about European politics... Macharius - 08/03/2012 07:11:12 PM 726 Views
Many valid reasons, including those Isaac cited. Joel - 02/03/2012 02:26:37 AM 893 Views
Most states are ignored anyway wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:56:12 PM 957 Views
Only because and to the extent they have already committed themselves. Joel - 03/03/2012 03:41:39 AM 809 Views
Why would we do something logical? Dude, you're utterly ridiculous. *NM* callandor1000 - 05/03/2012 04:53:38 PM 410 Views
I'm kind of sad- does this mean Santorum won't be providing wonderful sound bites anymore? beetnemesis - 01/03/2012 02:22:31 PM 722 Views
Nothing has shut him up yet, why should this? *NM* Dannymac - 01/03/2012 05:27:30 PM 395 Views
Maybe he'll pull a Palin and go touring around the country *NM* beetnemesis - 01/03/2012 07:06:02 PM 359 Views
No, it probably means we will get more and worse than ever. Joel - 01/03/2012 11:25:25 PM 890 Views
Romney or Obama, either way, America loses. *NM* Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:10:26 AM 561 Views
Hard to dispute that either; six of one, half a dozen of the other. Joel - 02/03/2012 01:38:07 AM 698 Views
Couldn't agree more *NM* Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 06:52:51 PM 468 Views
It reminds me of when Denver backed into the NFL playoffs. Joel - 02/03/2012 09:36:13 PM 690 Views
I'd agree hope and change was extremely unrealistic wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:58:57 PM 699 Views
Well, you know my story there; I voted for Obama and got Hillary (at best.) Joel - 03/03/2012 01:43:20 AM 723 Views
Update: Despite rules requiring they be split, the MI GOP is giving Romney BOTH statewide delegates. Joel - 02/03/2012 11:10:56 PM 807 Views
Romney is damaged wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:27:33 PM 715 Views
Obama is rather damaged also; it will probably come down to FL and OH, yet again. Joel - 03/03/2012 02:23:53 AM 830 Views
I'm hoping for Rubio as VP... then FL probably won't matter Isaac - 03/03/2012 04:28:08 AM 696 Views
You should put that on your license plates. Joel - 03/03/2012 06:41:34 AM 823 Views
Re: You should put that on your license plates. Isaac - 03/03/2012 06:51:00 AM 770 Views
Ax murderers are people, too! Joel - 04/03/2012 08:23:41 PM 724 Views
And what are you basing all of this on? wadsy - 03/03/2012 09:54:06 PM 822 Views
The closeness of several states when Obama was far more popular, and UTs heavily Mormon neighbors. Joel - 03/03/2012 11:44:06 PM 772 Views
Wrong wadsy - 04/03/2012 08:08:56 AM 901 Views
Higher turnout magnifies the Mormon effect. Joel - 04/03/2012 08:08:09 PM 942 Views
Your reasoning is flawed and if you can't see it there is no hope for you wadsy - 05/03/2012 11:39:04 PM 854 Views
Yeah, I think we had that conversation already, several times, in fact. Joel - 07/03/2012 05:36:45 AM 682 Views
Do you have any knowledge of statistics at all? wadsy - 07/03/2012 09:04:15 PM 855 Views
I hate this message board wadsy - 07/03/2012 09:06:30 PM 635 Views
It would probably help if you deleted the stuff from two, three posts back? Legolas - 07/03/2012 09:25:40 PM 746 Views
Some, though it is far from exhaustive. Joel - 08/03/2012 02:29:06 PM 867 Views
