Yaknow, if Hillary was the nominee, this wouldn't even be close ...
Four years ago, I offered my predictions on the presidential election. And I was pretty darn accurate. (A helluva lot better than those exit polls, amiright?)…

Clavos, bliffle - Dubrovnik, a coastal city in Croatia, is for me one of the best places in the world.

Years ago, a Minnesota governor, originally a dentist from Eveleth, near Duluth, went to Croatia after leaving office as MN governor. His name was Rudy Perpich. It was really funny seeing his name spelled as the Croatians do - Rudi Prpic. He was an advisor to the first Croatian dictator, Franjo Tudzman (sp? - it's been a while).
He was always a controversial fellow, both as governor, and for going to Croatia.
It isn't going to help you to run away from the States, no matter who wins or loses. The influence of the States is too extensive, both economically and culturally, to really escape. I wish I could escape it here. No way, and it sucks.
It's not that you guys are terrible - you folks are okay - but your culture is sick as all hell, and the idiots all over the world imitate the stupid things you all do....
This is not said with contempt; it is said with sadness. I used to live amongst you guys once.

Not to worry, zingster. As assistant comments editor, I guarantee you that after the election is over and the pixel dust has settled, I'm still gonna be seeing the same old people still commenting from the same old IP addresses.

Lou,
If you make more than 250k you deserve an increase to 39.5%
By "our" taxes you exclude every single one of us who is posting here.
Shouldn't you be posting on the Montblanc Mystery Pen site?
In fact you can see your Obama vs McCain tax cut here.

RE #56
RJ,
Here are the words of a conservative about what he learned while campaigning for Obama.
My wife made me canvass for Obama; here's what I learned.: This election is not about major policies. It's about hope.
85 - Jet
No new taxes!?
Who is going to pay for the hospitals
Who is going to pay for the bridges
Who is going to pay for the road repairs
Who is going to pay for the new schools?
Who will pay for new police officers?
Who will pay for new firemen
Who is going to pay teacher salaries?
Who will pay for new police cars and firetrucks?
IF NOT YOU...
WHO?
... your kids will, that's who.
The GOP will put it on our national credit card, let someone else pay for it into the future when we're gone!..... plus interest

Savo,
Dubrovnik is, as you say, also a beautiful little city, with centuries of history - Hadrian is buried near there.
Other lovely Croatian cities include Hvar and Korcula. I love all the islands lying close offshore of the Dalmatian coast.
I'm acquiring a lot of clients in the former Yugoslav republics, so I'm getting lots of opportunity to see the whole area, which my clients are justifiably proud of showing off.

Wow! I am happy to hear and see that mcCain is winning, and that your predictions are accurate. That reassures me for the upcoming events tonight. This year i have heard and figured that there is a lot of voting fraud. With all the new voters that have popped out of no where, you would think the predictions and results would be obvious, but again...Thank you RJ for reassuring me in the stability of our nation!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

Leigh, the new voter that "popped" out of nowhere are all people who were discouraged or unable to vote in the past.
With more and more states allowing early voting, that has not changed.
It's funny that the losing side always screams VOTER FRAUD!!
