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 1452 Views
I agree Romney will be the candidate. Tom - 29/02/2012 08:54:52 PM 772 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 855 Views
I have never understood the point of the Electoral College. Tim - 29/02/2012 11:39:11 PM 844 Views
You don't think like a politician then Isaac - 01/03/2012 12:38:36 AM 907 Views
I certainly hadn't considered much of that. I'm glad you posted it. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/03/2012 07:15:03 AM 372 Views
I also have not seen most of that mentioned in the popular vs. electoral debate. Joel - 01/03/2012 02:34:31 PM 771 Views
what about one vote one value? wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:51:32 PM 931 Views
That has not really changed. Joel - 03/03/2012 03:30:34 AM 1036 Views
a bit simplistic and unrealistic wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:44:02 PM 830 Views
When illustrating a point realism is not required and simplicity is a plus Isaac - 03/03/2012 03:04:26 AM 853 Views
I have a couple quibbles. Joel - 03/03/2012 05:23:46 AM 877 Views
Oh, certainly, I'm over-generalizing but I was already getting long-winded Isaac - 03/03/2012 06:52:04 AM 802 Views
I hate when people do that. Joel - 05/03/2012 09:49:36 AM 821 Views
What a bunch of waffle! wadsy - 03/03/2012 10:47:19 AM 969 Views
First you complain of simplicity then of my lack of brevity? Isaac - 03/03/2012 11:18:11 AM 749 Views
A simplistic argument doesn't mean it's brief *NM* wadsy - 03/03/2012 09:55:51 PM 400 Views
Also I don't like this refrain that implies only the POTUS vote matters Isaac - 03/03/2012 03:29:58 AM 977 Views
IMHO, parliaments choosing prime ministers is LESS democratic than the electoral college. Joel - 03/03/2012 05:57:41 AM 776 Views
Re: IMHO, parliaments choosing prime ministers is LESS democratic than the electoral college. Isaac - 03/03/2012 07:02:30 AM 801 Views
*is learning* Joel - 04/03/2012 09:49:42 PM 798 Views
Re: *is learning* Isaac - 04/03/2012 09:56:16 PM 842 Views
To the extent I can (yet again) claim to speak for Europeans... Legolas - 04/03/2012 10:33:01 PM 779 Views
I've fairly limited exposure and that from some years back Isaac - 04/03/2012 11:35:12 PM 906 Views
Re: *is learning* Joel - 05/03/2012 12:08:08 AM 870 Views
You could imitate the French. Legolas - 07/03/2012 10:40:16 PM 791 Views
That seems... unlikely.... Joel - 08/03/2012 03:03:54 PM 797 Views
It does, doesn't it? Legolas - 08/03/2012 06:11:08 PM 981 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 753 Views
More similar than the other major Western democracies at least, agreed. Legolas - 08/03/2012 09:32:55 PM 750 Views
I did not realize lack of a parliamentary majority dictated his cabinet. Joel - 09/03/2012 12:27:31 AM 820 Views
I don't know much about Norwegian politics, but you seem to be wrong. Legolas - 03/03/2012 06:18:08 PM 830 Views
Do you happen to have that link, please? Joel - 03/03/2012 06:46:31 PM 700 Views
Sure. Legolas - 03/03/2012 06:58:07 PM 892 Views
Guess we did not read far enough. Joel - 03/03/2012 10:38:07 PM 830 Views
Yeah, you have to know a few things about European politics... Legolas - 03/03/2012 11:49:44 PM 1038 Views
Hey, man, I am an AMERICAN: I do not HAVE to know ANYTHING! Joel - 04/03/2012 11:46:57 PM 1037 Views
Re: Hey, man, I am an AMERICAN: I do not HAVE to know ANYTHING! Legolas - 05/03/2012 11:14:42 PM 1410 Views

Re: Yeah, you have to know a few things about European politics... DomA - 05/03/2012 06:56:24 AM 833 Views
The thing is, regions often have national relevance far greater than their populations would suggest Joel - 05/03/2012 10:21:26 AM 794 Views
Fascinating. Legolas - 05/03/2012 10:52:32 PM 839 Views
Re: Yeah, you have to know a few things about European politics... Macharius - 08/03/2012 07:11:12 PM 777 Views
Many valid reasons, including those Isaac cited. Joel - 02/03/2012 02:26:37 AM 943 Views
Most states are ignored anyway wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:56:12 PM 993 Views
Only because and to the extent they have already committed themselves. Joel - 03/03/2012 03:41:39 AM 844 Views
Why would we do something logical? Dude, you're utterly ridiculous. *NM* callandor1000 - 05/03/2012 04:53:38 PM 425 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 761 Views
Nothing has shut him up yet, why should this? *NM* Dannymac - 01/03/2012 05:27:30 PM 415 Views
Maybe he'll pull a Palin and go touring around the country *NM* beetnemesis - 01/03/2012 07:06:02 PM 377 Views
No, it probably means we will get more and worse than ever. Joel - 01/03/2012 11:25:25 PM 941 Views
Romney or Obama, either way, America loses. *NM* Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:10:26 AM 586 Views
Hard to dispute that either; six of one, half a dozen of the other. Joel - 02/03/2012 01:38:07 AM 734 Views
Couldn't agree more *NM* Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 06:52:51 PM 485 Views
It reminds me of when Denver backed into the NFL playoffs. Joel - 02/03/2012 09:36:13 PM 724 Views
I'd agree hope and change was extremely unrealistic wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:58:57 PM 743 Views
Well, you know my story there; I voted for Obama and got Hillary (at best.) Joel - 03/03/2012 01:43:20 AM 767 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 855 Views
Romney is damaged wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:27:33 PM 744 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 879 Views
I'm hoping for Rubio as VP... then FL probably won't matter Isaac - 03/03/2012 04:28:08 AM 738 Views
You should put that on your license plates. Joel - 03/03/2012 06:41:34 AM 858 Views
Re: You should put that on your license plates. Isaac - 03/03/2012 06:51:00 AM 823 Views
Ax murderers are people, too! Joel - 04/03/2012 08:23:41 PM 771 Views
And what are you basing all of this on? wadsy - 03/03/2012 09:54:06 PM 848 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 814 Views
Wrong wadsy - 04/03/2012 08:08:56 AM 935 Views
Higher turnout magnifies the Mormon effect. Joel - 04/03/2012 08:08:09 PM 983 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 893 Views
Yeah, I think we had that conversation already, several times, in fact. Joel - 07/03/2012 05:36:45 AM 719 Views
Do you have any knowledge of statistics at all? wadsy - 07/03/2012 09:04:15 PM 890 Views
I hate this message board wadsy - 07/03/2012 09:06:30 PM 676 Views
It would probably help if you deleted the stuff from two, three posts back? Legolas - 07/03/2012 09:25:40 PM 792 Views
Some, though it is far from exhaustive. Joel - 08/03/2012 02:29:06 PM 924 Views
