Who is going to win?

Well gentlemen?

Are we having a civil discussion or not?

Still waiting.

[Jon Miller]

I don't think you are particularly civil on this subject.

I am not sure how them apologizing to you would make this particular discussion more civil or you more civil when discussing this subject.

George Carlin's comment is irrelevant because there's a big difference between saying you're against cradle to grave life support from the government and saying you're in favor of killing people for convenience.

And let's be honest, pro-life folk tend to vote on that issue. I know people who you would basically called Democrats, but would never vote for them because they can't bring themselves to vote for anyone who is pro-choice.

This is my biggest beef with Libertarians. I refuse to vote for a candidate who is pro-abortion.

Yeah its just a convenience that raped women... you know just **** you.

I recognize that being spared from a pregnancy represents quite a lot of convenience and is in no way trivial.

You have bad text formatting and you should feel bad.

Iam not a native english speaker so i might be wrong here. But a convenience seems to me by definition to be something trivial.

If anything, abortion is the biggest non issue you could possibly have with Libertarians.

It is certainly a word that might be suggested to be trivializing the issue, if nothing else. It's a word that could, in theory, be used to mean what reg suggests it should mean, but I certainly think there are more appropriate words or phrases given the lack of levity in the subject matter.

Exactly. Like killing tens of thousands of Afghanis rather than trying to catch a guy in Pakistan was the unbelievably stupid "convenient" way.

Seriously, NYT/CBS/Quinnipiac, what is your deal?

You have Romney winning Virginia Independents by ~22 points but losing by 2 overall because of a 8 point disadvantage in party ID. You appear to have borrowed a sample from 2008, but crosstabs from 1984. Your topline number might be reasonable, but its components sound so eminently unreasonable that I'm tempted to throw out the whole thing in my mind.

[regexcellent]

Isn't it pretty obvious that the democrats are less popular now than in 2008?

Good luck with that.
