    I've been keeping a close eye on the men under 56 and over 27 who are 5 to 7 pounds overweight and have an uncontrollable need to put ketchup on foods that really don't require it, for instance, spinach salad, demographic. It's unbelievable that both candidates are tied with 46% this late in the race!
    Oooh! This is so EXCITING!

      Oh. My. God.

      If you could see the summaries of demographic groups marketers do, you'd think The Onion wrote them!

        Hey Indy! Stoners friend "Leo" is involved in this poll? I looked him up and he's no member of Propeller...what's the matter with Shadowolf, and me? Don't we count in this query? I mean where's the "middle-aged guys with a huge BMI index who wears loud bowling shirts in public" demographic?

          I was sure that demographic was counted...
          Just a second...
          I know...
          here somewhere...
          AHA!
          Yeah, see the thing is, er,
          Ahhh,
          Well, the last time the Middle-Aged Guys Who Wore Loud Hawaiian And Or Bowling Shirts In Public demographic counted was when they put Carter over the top in 1976.
          But that was because they identified with Carter's brother Billy, who is actually a part of that demographic.
          So, since Carter's disastrous loss to Reagan in 1980 the whole demographic block has been sort of pushed to the side as "bad luck".
          Personally, as a guy with a closet full of loud Hawaiian / bowling shirts and Bermuda shorts to match (or, not match) I have to agree, WHO SPEAKS FOR US?

            And how about us older men who inappropriately wear Hawaiian shirts at formal parties with a bow tie?

              And most of us are voting Obama.

                  I'm hoping the "Heavyset Conservative Swingers Named Larry Who Look At Guys Named Craig" demographic goes to Obama because of how much they seem to pay attention to the famous Swayzes.

                  That would be a win, its normally very much Republican!

                  Except those who claimed they walked five miles or more barefoot. They are clearly in the Obama camp.

                      I've got a serious question about schizophrenics.
                      So do I.

                      If schizophrenic murderers shouldn't be sent to jail, because it's bad to jail the innocent personalities, then doesn't that acknowledge the other personalities as people?

                      And if the other personalities are people, shouldn't they each get a vote? (Well that is, the ones that are old enough?)

                        You're confusing schizophrenia with disassociative identity disorder. Common mistake.

                        But to answer you're question, all extra personalities are considered anarchists and do not get a vote due to a legal quirk.

                          Can schizophrenics vote more than once? I guess I know how Georgie won in Florida...

                            Nope, but those with DID can.

                            Schizophrenics hear voices that tell them to do things- those with DID manifest extra personalities.

                              LMAO hahahahahahahaaa

                              Well, doggone it. They didn't say say anything about the stay at home drunks, who play the stock market blitzed out of their mind vote. Although I'm sure they will be voting for McCain.

                              Have to worry about the hanging chads with these folks. They are liable to vote for all of the above as they want to diversify their portfolio.

                              Thanks for the invite ind06, enjoyed the humor immensely .

                                Oh, I just hate these threads that point out that there's a little humanity and a real sense of humor on both sides of the fence. Does that make me the sole member of a demographic?

                                        What about green eyed blond moon worshippers having a bad hair day? I think that demographic will have a major impact lol
