You guys want to explain that for the non-Americans? Because I'm guessing I'm missing something...

Interesting Aikanaro. I wasn't in the know on that either. Who said it?
I guess what it does at least speak to - is that many voters are issues-oriented rather than personality-oriented in their voting. We can safely say that for people all across the political spectrum. Though maybe the real point is that the GOP has not yet come up with a dominant personality for the 2012 election.

Her point was pretty much the one you made - without a clear and strong opposing candidate, the election becomes a referendum on Obama's first term, with people voting for or against him, regardless of who the alternative is. A similar thing happened in the UK's last election, with people voting against Gordon Brown rather than for Clegg or Cameron.

Aika, can you please tell where your siggy's quotes are from? (Btw, "aika" is "time" in Finnish )

As for the quotes? One is from The Waste Land by TS Eliot, and the other is said by Sheldon Cooper in the Big Bang Theory. I'm rather fond of both.

Thanks! Are the references in order, or just the other way around? They sound like vice versa.

LOL, strange as some of Eliot's poetry might be, I don't think he ever wrote about ostriches. That one was Sheldon, in the fourth-season episode where his WoW account gets hacked.
Speaking of signatures, by the way - Emilie Autumn is awesome.

Throwing together a kitchen is exhausting. One more round of foodings, then to Trader Joe's for winings, then to Target for one more round of kitchenware. All of this will probably happen tomorrow. Maybe I'll do the foodings tonight.
