College Newspaper Labels McCain “Viagra’s Next Spokesman” « Republican Ranting

Well, my school’s news paper, the Central Michigan Life (Central Michigan University) has sunk to a new low. In a video article titled “Voters discuss their picks for president,” (the video has since been taken down) they have students saying who they voted for and used that candidate’s logo as the image. The problem came when Adam Kaminski, the video’s creator, used a logo which read, “Make Me Viagra’s Next Spokesman” on Senator McCain’s logo.

Alright, I’ve decided that I’m going to do a prediction at least each Tuesday before the election (and then a final one on Monday the 3rd). Here’s my prediction as of now. The first map will be a prediction of the percentage points, and the second map will be my confidence in who will win that state. Now, I know that my map has Obama lower than a lot of the maps circulating right now, but here’s why.

Holy Crap! This Election Could Get Weird: An Electoral College Tie? Acting President Pelosi? « Republican Ranting

So, I’ve been looking through polls lately, and the way it stands now, if Obama holds all the states he currently has, and McCain picks up all the tossup states, we’d have an Electoral College tie (assuming that all the electors keep their promise to vote for their party).

The CM-Life wrote an article about a complaint by a student, Dennis Lennox, saying that he and conservatives were being discriminated against by the SUSO Committee not allowing him to be on the panel.

A Political Analysis of the Movie Swing Vote « Republican Ranting

Alright, so tonight I saw Swing Vote. I liked it. Although it had a LOT of swearing (which added some humor at times, but was a little over the top at others), I’d give it a 9 out of 10.
First, we’ll look at how the election could’ve happened (spoiler alert - I eventually get into details, and a few things about the ending). This is not a map they showed in the movie, I made it myself - it’s a believable hypothetical that adds up to the numbers they give in the movie:

This is part 2 in a weekly series on the race for Michigan’s 9th Congressional District. This was supposed to be a post about fundraising, but we’ve had some interesting developments come up in the past week. Central Michigan University proposed a policy that would go in effect on July 1st, that would require “full-time employees of the university … to either resign or take an unpaid leave of absence when they comply with candidacy filing requirements, 60 days prior to the date set forth for the election relating to the sought-after public office, whichever date is closer to the elections”
