I did.

Oddly enough, the speaker didn't mention "Herman Cain" once.

Did you mislink?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3432001.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3432001.page GMT Gallup Justifies its Existence, in video.
Poor wit, I guess. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3432013.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3432013.page GMT Gallup Justifies its Existence, in video.
dogma wrote:The implication is that Herman Cain is still a legitimate candidate, despite the race being generally thought of as Romney v. Perry.

Poor wit, I guess.

Indeed.

Before the Iowa primary the conventional wisdom had Edwards against Clinton for the '08 candidate. Romney and Huckabee took the '07 Iowa Straw poll by reasonable margins.

It's almost as if history shows that neither Romney nor Perry will be the eventual nominee.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3432055.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3432055.page GMT Gallup Justifies its Existence, in video.
But you're right, there is a definite trend toward candidates that can sell themselves as outsiders (that's what I'm drawing from your comment, anyway). Obama and McCain both got nominated on that and, arguably, so did the latter Bush.

If Ron Paul were politically competent he might even have a shot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3432086.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3432086.page GMT Gallup Justifies its Existence, in video.
dogma wrote:In my defense, I am being forced to endure student presentations (someone, academically, compared Stalin to Voldemort) so the phrase "Wit's End" carries weight.


I don't even...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3434836.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3434836.page GMT Gallup Justifies its Existence, in video. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3434958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/403284/3434958.page GMT Gallup Justifies its Existence, in video.
Leaders of totalitarian regimes more often than not differ markedly from their espoused doctrines.

The problem with using Voldemort as a real world politcial allegory is using Voldemort as a real world political allegory.

Let me spell it out with a 'serious' question, a question which I would not normally ask for a similar reason to what dogma calls 'wits end'.

Which was worse:

1. The Khmer Rouge Year Zero in 1975.
Pol Pot has his organisation frogmarch tghe Cambodian people back from a 20th century society back to a medieval agrarian society. Approximately two million die from hunger, disease, border fighting and extra judicial killing.

2. The destruction of Alderaan by ther Death Star.
Approximately two billion sentient beings died when Moff Tarkin ordered the super laser turned on the peaceful planet.
