Just Watch: Polls Will Start To Reflect The Sandy Bounce

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Goodbye Willard Romney, you omnivorous, obstreperous, oleaginous, obfuscating oligarch. I never liked you.

[CurtEastPoint]

1. Ditto and congrats on that word oleaginous. I kinda sussed out 'olea' meaning oil

but the definition is perfect: "Rich in, covered with, or producing oil; oily or greasy."

[treestar]

2. Willard is defeated by O's

O words are the best!

[ffr]

3. No TV. No Faux News. No RWNJ propaganda.

Of course the polls are going to shift in Obama's favor. Once the veil of the alternative RWNJ world is pulled off, people return to reality.

Let's translate the momentum to votes!

4. Style points for onomatopoeia

[reflection]

10. Isn't it assonance?

<pedantry>

Just going by memory, I thought onomatopoeia was when a spoken word sounded like what it described. (e.g: beep, quack, tick-tock)

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds, I think.

</pedantry>

If I'm wrong, please flog me with the proverbial wet noodle.

[swimboy]

14. You're right that I'm wrong

but it was alliteration that carried me away.

I'm willing to argue that oleaginous has onomatopoetic tendencies.

No wet noodles this round.

[reflection]

15. Alright!

I'm going to go tell my wife I was right about something!



on edit: she says we both must be wrong

[grasswire]

5. Off to the ossuary with ye, Mitt. nt

[Sophiegirl]

6. O-HIO!!!!! n/t

[tridim]

7. And Repukes will say, "Obama only won because of Sandy"

He got lucky and thus deserves no political capital from his historic landslide second-term victory.

[PsychProfessor]

8. I prefer to think of it not as a Sandy Bounce but rather

A COMPETENCE bounce. Obama should see a bounce because he has reminded people that he is amazingly competent and a great leader. The bounce is not about a natural disaster but about one man's response to that disaster.

9. +1

11. Hope you are right

[JCMach1]

12. Are they even going to do any more national polls

given the outages? If so, how accurate are they going to be?

[DrToast]

13. Did you just get a new thesaurus?
