re: Good to see Eddie Rispone starting the runoff campaign well on the right foot

I just added your name to that post.

Oh no, not Sentrius' list...

Please don't inflate your self-worth. You aren't as well liked as you could be. You have some genuinely good political insight when you aren't blinded by your own bias.

If you’re really talking about months ago, that was a bad prediction on your part at the time as Rispone was constantly stuck behind Abraham and Ralph was the front runner. Rispone was consistently polling in the high teens.

Rispone’s decision to go negative against Abraham upended everything and changed the race and it was a risky last minute gamble that worked out for him and didn’t cause harm to anybody but Edwards voters like me.

You (and a couple others) keep saying this. It's false. The last poll that came out showing Rispone behind Abraham and "in the teens" was AFTER the ad. What changed the dynamic of the race was the 1st debate, Rispone gaining name recognition, and people seeing what he was about. Hence why even you were a "supporter of Rispone" early on. What changed was Abraham's performance in the 1st debate (and the other two just made it worse for Abraham) and people seeing what you (a student of politics) had already seen in Rispone per your own admission.

Not really a "lucky guess" to predict Rispone as the winner months ago. If you follow the polls, Rispone was trending up the whole time, while Abraham was staying stagnant or moving down. Predicting politics is all about watching the trends in polls (not the polls themselves), knowing how to evaluate the polls, and getting familiar with the candidates. You can't just look at the first polls or the polls in a vacuum, you have to actually do some research.

I could add Rodfather but he posts lengthy walls of text...

This is rich coming from you. Most of your posts are short attacks or reposts / links to the hayride. At least I have my own thoughts and opinions.

Maybe you should give it a try. It would do you some good to get some other perspectives than just McKay's.

Good move Ralph. I was hoping for his endorsement asap and Monday is asap far as I'm concerned.

I can't wait to bump all of these bookmarked posts.
