It's weird to me that people are actually going through their subscriptions frequently and removing users who stop being particularly active, especially if it's only like a month. Who has time for that?

Karl Rove is a smart guy who knows his statistics. I have a hard time believing that he really misjudged the numbers so badly on Romney's chances to win the election.

My theory is that he knew that Romney would lose but that, in order to get more money for his SuperPac, he had told so many Republicans that Romney was closer to winning than the numbers really said.

Do you think Rove really believed Romney was going to win, or was he just faking it because he'd told everyone they'd win? I mean, I think he decided he'd rather look like he misjudged the numbers than to admit he'd been lying.

Thoughts?

Wasn't Vivian also the little girl in 2001 who talked to her Daddy (the astronaut in space) over the video chat telephone thing (basically, via the Skype of 2001)?

I don't know all of the statistics, but I do remember that John Kerry and Al Gore both got about 90% of the black vote in the United States. That's right, 9/10 of black voters voted for those two white guys. The numbers may be up slightly for Obama, but you can't get much higher than 90%. So I don't think what you're seeing is black people voting for Obama because he's black. They're voting for him because he's a Democrat, which is what they've always done with Democrats nationally.
