I just added your name to that post. Thanks for the reminder. I knew I was missing someone else.

I could add Rodfather but he posts lengthy walls of text that very few to nobody at all bothers to read so there's that.

What have I done? Please find a negative post of mine towards Abraham that wasn't brought upon by a Abraham voter saying something first. Its not my fault you have no response to me calling out your one sided chastising of Rispone voters. I said numerous times that I would have zero issues voting for Ralph if he made it to the runoff.

Heaven forbid someone post something of actual substance on this board. Its not surprising your reaction to it.

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.
