The third and final film in the Wachowski brothers' epic science fiction trilogy The Matrix picks up where the second film, The Matrix Reloaded, left off. As the film begins, Neo attempts to navigate through a space somewhere between the machine world and the real world, Trinity and Morpheus pay a visit to The Merovingian, the citizens of Zion prepare for imminent war with the sentinels, and Agent Smith continues to gain power. As Matrix fans have come to expect, the closing chapter is presented in a superb DVD package. The two-disc set features top-notch visual and audio quality alongside a seemingly endless wealth of bonuses. The first disc bears a crystal-clear widescreen anamorphic transfer of the feature presentation with the soundtrack available in both Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and Dolby Digital Stereo. A French-dubbed Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track is also included, along with subtitles in English, French, and Spanish. Standing out from the Matrix DVDs that preceded it, disc one of Revolutions is the first to feature trailers from all three trilogy entries and The Animatrix animation series. Over on the second disc, viewers are treated to several behind-the-scenes featurettes. "Revolutions Recalibrated" takes a general look at the making of the film, while "CG Revolution" specifically examines the dazzling visual effects, and "Super Burly Brawl" offers the ins and outs of the climactic final fight between Neo and Agent Smith. Meanwhile, there are four more short making-of segments in the Operator feature. Beyond that, there is an exceptionally concise text-and image-based history of the Matrix called "Before the Revolution," a look at the upcoming online Matrix game, a gallery with storyboards and conceptual images, and several DVD-ROM features. A full-screen version with the same features was also released.

When it comes to a Matrix sequel, you expect a lot fighting and cool graphics. You also expect a mind bending plot. The Matrix Reloaded was a great sequel to the Matrix trilogy, but this time the film makers have failed with Matrix Revolutions. The film picks up where Reloaded left off. But the story is boring and there is very little martial-arts fighting. There are only a couple of scenes where there are martial-arts fighting. Also, Revolutions doesn't have eye-popping special effects or a mind bending story. For it to be titled the Matrix, very little takes place actually inside the Matrix. The characters become dull and most of what I actually concentrated on was the swarm of sentinels. Honestly, none of the fight scenes are interesting to me. And when it was over, none of my questions were answered. The film was terrible compared to the first 2. Matrix Revolutions is not nearly as good as it could have been. It is probably one of the worst 3rd entries in a trilogy ever!
This final segment of the trilogy fulfilled all of my expectations including the almost 1 hour battle in the heart of Zion between the humans and the robots. Neo and Trinity face the biggest obstacle yet, while Mr. Smith only seems to cause more chaos and trouble for anyone in his path. This film was great and I would not hesitate recommending it to anyone!
I loved this movie but it left me with too many questions and argument topics to have with other people. The conclusion was really bad. The fact that they reseted the matrix was bad. But everything else was very good and well thought out.
The Matrix Revolutions met my expectations. Its plot and story goes as deep as the first one. This movie was well thought and executed. One of the best movies and trilogies in years.
The Matrix Revolutions is without a doubt the worst movie I have seen in years. From its meaningless pseudo-philosopy begining and pointless club brawl to its incredibly dissapointing ending, this movie is a showcase of special effects, and nothing else. This movie had more content than the second, but the acting was deplorable. You never actually get to the point where you care whether or not the characters live or die. The movie is basically a showcase of overdone special effects accented by meaningless religious psychobabble. Don't waste your time on this one.
This has to be one of the best movies I have ever seen, despite what everyone has said. Definately worth seeing again and again. Great specials effects and surprises that kept me on the edge of my seat evry time I watched it. A MUST SEE! THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!!
I completely loved this movie in every way! I suggest this movie to any Matrix fan! The Super Brawl between Neo and Smith kicks butt!
Great movie. Sprcial effect were off the HEEZEY!!! Super Burly Brawl was one of the coolest battle sequences ever created(second only to The Lord of the Rings The Return of the King).I would give it 10 stars but they don't let you. It is the Star Wars of our generation. A must see.
Unfortunately Revolutions can't stand up to it's older sisters, but it's still a must watch. It has even bigger effects than the previous 2 movies because the story calls for it. The acting/writting style is dark and mysterious leaving many holes in the plot, and many things unaddressed at the end. The movie dissapoints by trying to make you feel closure without actually resolving anything. However, the film syle and brilliant situational ideas pull you in completely. You've got to see the entire trilogy. The first movie is timeless.
I dont care what people say. The matrix Revolutions was an awesome ending. Its too bad its over. It was definetly a thrilling ride. The best part of the movie were the visiual effects.
A Must see for any Matrix fan. An open ending with room for speculation. But then again if it wasn't different and puzzling then it wouldn't be part of the Matrix trilogy.
Easily the worst of the trilogy, Martix Revolutions was a mild romp through already seen scenery. Granted, the last stand at Zion proved fun to watch, but the vague and unfulfilling ending, combined with the fact every second-tier character (save Trinity) became little-more than brief window dressing drove me to walk out on what could have been an awe-inspiring conclusion to a multi-million dollar trilogy. If you want to watch a trilogy finale worth your money, but Return of the King.
It takes you more into the realms of the mind and of the spirit, f-rom the real to the unreal, delusions and illusions, shadows and light, f--rom fact to imagination, where anything is possible! It could become Matrix Resurrections in the fourth.
Revolutions is the 3rd and final Chapter of the Matrix Trilogy it filled with emotion, action, and closure a must have for movie lovers everywhere
You know that feeling you sometimes get as you move further and further away from some event? Well, in the case of 'Matrix Revolutions,' the movie continues to get worse and worse as more time passes since I saw it. In fact, a friend and I have a game where we pretend that the 2nd and 3rd movies never happened. The Wachowski Brothers made the original movie -- a truly unique and wonderful film -- and then went on to other projects. We do this because the other two movies -- especially this third one -- are so bad that they actually make the original one less great. 'Matrix Revolutions' in particular acts as a kind of black hole of goodness, making other movies around it less good. Truly a horrendously awful movie.
Lots of shooting and special effects. Plot is not the best but it had to end this way. Still a way better triolgy than Episode 1 and 2 and soon to be 3.
I hope this is the end of Matrix. I want to see Lawrence Fishburn back to work on the great drama performances he has done in the past.
this movie will go along with caddyshack 2, rocky 5 and we will all just pretend these didn't happen. this was the biggest piece of crap i have ever seen. this in no way compares to lord of the rings, lotr has a story that matrix lost after the 1st one. at least part 2 had alot of action. sadly, i wont get those 2 hours of my life back......
I really regret not seeing this in the theater, but when I borrowed this from a friend I had to have it so I went out and picked it up. I don't want to begrudge anyone their God-given right to their opinion, but I though this film was a fantastic way of capping the series. Maybe it's based on my deep and personal faith, but I was really impressed with the progression of the series. The MAtrix- birth, Reloaded- Purpose and the meaning of life, Revolutions- Sacrifice, Love and Death. I was wowed with the style and concept with the first film, found a deep and abiding respect for the intellectual and philosophical attitude of the the second and thrilled with the way they focused on Zion in the third. In sequels there is a tendency to give the audience the same thing over and over again until the grosses drop, but the Wachowski's aren't ones to rip people off, instead they expand on what they have already laid out and expounded on it. I could easily see The Matrix carrying on for another trilogy as The Matrix 2.0 version, but that wouldn't be the brothers style. I'm curious to see what they will move on to after this.
I liked the first movie way better than 'Reloaded' and 'Revolutions'. The only reason I liked it was because of the fight scenes and because of Neo, other than that I didn't like the storyline.
i mean people say it was the worst movie ever, but it just leaves a lot to be imagined, which is either bad or good to people. but it is still way better then the horrible lord of the rings. im not a kid anymore! it is a good movie. nowhere near as good as the first one though. the second one is great too, if tou forget the hippie dance scene.
If you like the matrix saga for its original storyline and action, than Revolutions was a perfect conclusion. Neo's conversation at Mobile Ave. and confrontations in the machine city were great to watch. The battles for Zion and Neo, at the club, were awsome (don't forget Bain). Problems I had were with some scenes of melodrama and cheesy scenes of dialogue that are below this Matrix movie. I belive that people were disappointed by the ending (although I give kudos to the bros. for not being predictable, but creative there) which also hurt people's opinions of it. The morals given by the movie are very insightful.
I completely understood the first Matrix and the second one left me in suspense even though the directors could have added more scenes to satisfy the thristy mind. What really kills me about Matrix revolution is that it left too many unanswer questions, and I believed that the original plot of the movie was lost in the transition of the making of the last two parts. The ending was really the most bizarre that I have ever seen. The first movie indicated that the machine could only survive by using humans as their power source, but that didn't make sense if the machine are to live peacefully with the people from Zion. Morphous main objective was to find the one so that he would end slavery for the human race, but Neo only delay the inevitable. The human race is still enslave and the peace between machine and man cannot last if Morphous wants all humans free from the machine captivity. How are humans and machine suppose to co-exisit, if humans are still being used as batteries? They totally forget that part of the plot in the third sequel.....
I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND IS A MUST SEE BUT I THINK THEY SHOULD COME OUT WITH ANOTHER ONE TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS: WERE DID THEY TAKE NEOS BODY? WHAT NEXT FOF ZION? If anyone can tell me anything write my e mail.
Often and normal people do not undestand what the Matrix is about, but this movie is really into the existence of programs and hardware combinated, You need to understand more than simply playing and microsoft office to really enjoy the movie.

When most sports fans are asked "What's your favorite NFL team of all time?", they immediately envision the grainy Super Bowl footage of the 1994 and 1989 San Francisco 49ers, the 1971 and 1992 Dallas Cowboys, the 1985 Chicago Bears, the 1972 Miami Dolphins, and the 1979 Pittsburgh Steelers.
I'm not like most sports fans.
I hear and therefore interpret the question as "what was your favorite NFL team", not what was the best NFL team. To a true sports fan, the combination of favorite and best should be as compatible as water and electricity.
Being a life-long die-hard fan of the San Francisco 49ers, my response should be easy. After all, I have FIVE Super Bowl teams to choose from (1981, 1984, 1988, 1989, and 1994). Strangely enough my favorite team is none of the aforementioned.
Given that two of the Super Bowls (1981 and 1984) were won before I was even born, and two more (1988 and 1989) coincided with "my terrible twos" and self-soiling days, choosing any one of those teams would be about as fair-weather as a hole in the ozone layer.
That leaves the 1994 San Francisco 49ers. Yes I laughed, cried, and shouted my first obscenities throughout the course of the 1994 season, but so did the rest of the Bay Area and a majority of the United States.
Who didn't love Hall of Famers Steve Young, Jerry Rice, and Deion Sanders? They are to sports fans what Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers are to my fictitious pre-adolescent sister. My point is: how many so called 49ers "fans" were there in the early stages of the 1994 season?
How many "faithful" believed in Steve Young following the Week Two, 24-17 loss to the Joe Montana-led Kansas City Chiefs? How many "fans" sported the red and gold in the workplace following the Week Five, 40-8 home defeat issued by the Philadelphia Eagles?
After an unprecedented 14 game win streak, which included the breaking of team and NFL records, the dusty red jerseys reemerged from hibernation. It's easy to become an NFL fan come January.
If you're watching your team play in January, they're in the playoffs. Given that I had religiously followed and blindly supported this franchise both prior to and since the 1994 season, I could suddenly relate to the families of the kidnapped victims I saw on the news.
The 1994 49ers were my baby, and fair-weather sports fans robbed me of them. In that season I grew a newfound understanding and appreciation for the fans of the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, and Arizona Cardinals franchise (yes, appearing in a Super Bowl doesn't count).
Is it better to have lost and won, then to have never won at all?
When asked what my favorite NFL team of all time was, I look that generic monotonous question asker in the eye and say, "the 2004 San Francisco 49ers". "But they only won two games," one might plea. My response is simple, "Actually, it's more like 1.5 games. They only beat the Cardinals, twice".
The 2004 San Francisco 49ers may very well be the most forgettable franchise in NFL history. They didn't break any records like the 16-0 New England Patriots of 2008 or the 0-16 Detroit Lions of 2009. They were simply trapped in the purgatory of terrible. Coached by college legend Dennis Erickson, the 49ers played like a college team.
Their quarterback(s) included a committee of Tim Rattay, Ken Dorsey, and Cody Picket, providing the 49ers less offensive fire power than the Swiss army. In the off-chance that the quarterback wasn't sacked on hike, the three pee-shooter-armed stooges were forced to throw to the famously unremarkable receivers of:
1) Brandon Lloyd: a hit-or-miss, alligator-armed receiver who either ducked from the line of a pass or made the SportsCenter highlight reel with a circus act catch.
2) Cedric Wilson: a mediocre journeyman.
3) Curtis Conway: a once solid receiver...10 years prior to joining the 49ers.
With no one to throw or catch the ball, the 49ers turned to Kevan Barlow for production, providing the worst safety plan since the 1950's Public Service "duck and cover in the case of nuclear fallout" campaign.
As a matter of fact, the only Pro-Bowl caliber players on that team were Julian Peterson, who tore his ACL in Week Five, and long-snapper Brian Jennings.
When kids on my high school football team were picking their NFL-star alter ego, I was able to rest assured that Tim Rattay wouldn't be taken (until my turn to pick of course).
Like the late Bill Walsh, I masterfully traded down in Fantasy Football drafts to acquire more picks, knowing full well that Brandon Lloyd, Cedrick Wilson, and Curtis Conway would still be on the board for my starting receiving core.
I could sleep at night knowing that I was the only man in San Mateo County and the greater Bay Area with a Ken Dorsey jersey in his closet. The 2004 San Francisco 49ers were MY team, and no fair-weather, microbrewery-beer-drinking sports fan can take that away from me.
Many fans might shutter when they find the skeleton of a No. 32 Kevan Barlow jersey in their closet. I don't. I don't have one in my closet. I wear it...with pride.
It's not that I prefer mediocrity from my beloved NFL team; I wear it because it's the one piece of sports memorabilia a fair-weather 49ers fan can never take away from me.
Although the fair-weather fans may have owned that very jersey in a former fan-ship, that jersey, much like their fan-hood, lost its way to a trash compactor, incinerator, or local Goodwill somewhere during that magical 2004 season.
Unlike a Frank Gore, Patrick Willis, or Michael Crabtree jersey, so called "fans" won't find it in the store the next time the 49ers play in January. I, the 49er faithful, and some lucky members of the Bay Area homeless population will be wearing our Kevan Barlow jersey come that January.
And when the 49ers win their next Super Bowl, we'll turn to our children, and children's children, and children we don't even know, and we'll tell them: "I stood at ground zero".
Never again.

BRAISED PORK belly with congee and sweet soy. Yellowfin tuna tartare layered with red curry, avocado and coconut broth. Squash flan adorned with brussels sprouts leaves, radish and spiced seeds. Rabbit rillette crowned with red plum, pistachio, black pepper gastrique and clover.
If you had to guess where you could nibble such haute dishes in Philly, you'd likely assume Rittenhouse Square. Maybe Old City. Or Society Hill. Chestnut Hill . . . Manayunk?
No, no, no, no and nope.
Those menu items, plus groceries and takeout fare that include curried fleur de sel, lemon thyme meringues, sugarplum sorbet, tiny madeleine cakes - not to mention delicate cappuccinos lovingly prepared with locally roasted beans - are up for grabs along East Passyunk Avenue.

No One Seems to Know What a 'Plus' Model Really Is
"I can't get a clear answer from anyone."
Madeline Figueroa-Jones, editor-in-chief of Plus Model Magazine: "I wish I knew who exactly was determining the size of plus-size models. Whenever I ask a brand, they tell me the agencies don't have high-caliber bigger models. When I speak to agencies, they tell me that the clients are calling for smaller models, so I'm not exactly sure what is going on. All I know is that I can't get a clear answer from anyone." Meanwhile, public opinion isn't always on her side: "I read a lot of the comments whenever an article comes out online about plus-size fashion or models and I'm appalled by the ignorance I read. People equate bigger people with being unhealthy, but I would bet my career that if I took the plus-size board and the straight-size board of an agency and had them take physical exams, the straight-sized models would not be 'healthier' than the plus-sized models."

One of Excel's best calculation tools and used in lots of formulas is the AutoSum capability. It's on the Formulas tab in the Function Library here on the left side also on the Home tab, in the Editing group on the right side AutoSum. Has little drop arrow associated with it for other related functions as well. Let's use it in its most basic form. We are in cell G2 for example we want some totals. AutoSum is designed to quickly add totals from above or from the left.
It is context sensitive. The standard way to use this would be to put the active cell here and click AutoSum, and we view what's going on and if we are relatively new with functions and formulas in Excel we might look at that for a bit and also make figure it out and say oh yeah that looks good and what do we do next? Many people press Enter and that's fine. We could also press AutoSum a second time and of course that raises the idea this could be a little bit faster couldn't it? Next time we will need this in a situation why not double-click on Autosum? Makes it a bit faster. Another way to do this too by the way is a keystroke shortcut.
Now you might say well I am using the mouse to get here. Well maybe I have used the keystrokes so the keyboard to get here. Alt+Equal, and you have to press Enter there though to complete it. So here and there, that's going to be useful as well. We might want to use AutoSum here. Another approach to AutoSum is to highlight the data first. If it's highlighted in a column like this then we can either press Alt+Equal or AutoSum once, and the total goes below it. There you go, fast and easy.
Let me do that with Alt+Equal, highlight this data, Alt+Equal and then although no better, but sometimes we do this possibly by mistake, but by design if we highlight data this way and press Alt +Equal or the AutoSum button once, we get an answer there too. Be open to the idea that sometimes rather than putting AutoSum in once and then copying it, suppose we want totals on the right-hand side of the data here down in rows 12, 13 etc.
Right here highlight the data, click AutoSum once we got our totals. What if we wanted totals in the bottom? We could have highlighted these and press AutoSum once, or as I press Ctrl+Z twice to undo these. Why not take care of both sets of totals at the same time? Highlight the data this way to include the empty cells on the right in column H and the empty cells below this in row 16, then click AutoSum once. Works just fine. If instead of totals here, if we wanted averages, we would have highlighted the data here.
Click the drop arrow use Average, we get averages on the perimeter, and obviously we need to do some formatting there. The comma button would be a quick fix possibly. But it's easy to use AutoSum, and its related drop arrow capabilities, a good quick way to take care of lots of formulas in Excel.

Tokyo -- Japanese electronics firm Toshiba Corp. said it would launch 3-D televisions that do not require the viewer to wear special glasses.
Commercial sales of the first of the new sets will be available before the end of the year, The Yomiuri Shimbun reported Wednesday.
Sources said the glasses-free 3-D sets send out images at different angles, allowing the viewer to perceive the action in three dimensions. Normally, the 3-D glasses that need to be worn to get the effect in current 3-D systems separate images that target, specifically, the left or the right eye. The separation of the images allows the viewer to experience the images at different depths.
Oak Park, Ill. -- Illinois-based chain McDonald's is offering $3 cash for the return of any recalled piece of "Shrek" glassware, but the items are selling for up to $5 on eBay.
McDonald's officials said Wednesday locations will pay $3 for the return of the recalled glasses, which the Consumer Product Safety Commission said contains toxic cadmium in the decorative paint, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Wednesday.
"Returns will only be accepted inside the restaurant. Customers will be instructed by a manager to sign a refund slip and will be refunded $3 for each glass returned. No receipt is necessary," McDonald's said in a statement.
London -- A British official is praising a pair of prototype shatterproof pint glasses being tested for their durability to reduce injuries from bar violence.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said the glasses, created by the company Design Bridge, are aimed at curbing the estimated 87,000 broken-glass attacks in Britain each year, The Independent reported Friday.
"Having that weapon in your hand is an enormous part of why these injuries take place in the first instance," Johnson said.
Johnson said the first prototype, dubbed "Glass Plus," is single layer of glass with a resin coating on the inside, and the second, "Thin Wall," features two layers of glass held together by resin. He said the designs were based on the windshields of cars.
New York, January 6 -- Television's biggest players ESPN, IMAX, Discovery and Sony announced Tuesday their plans to enter the 3-D television market.

Skip to comments.Democrats at DEFCON 1: Is Christine ODonnell now leading in internals?
Posted on 10/26/2010 3:25:39 PM PDT by truthfreedom
click here to read article
I'd feel better if this came from a page other than Hillbuzz. It gives DEBKA a run for its money when it comes to making stuff up to get hits.
Best TV moment of my life was seeing Judy Woodruff cry when Al Gore finally had to concede to GWB after SCOTUS ruled.
We might be seeing the Bradley Effect here: with O'Donnell being so completely demonized by the MSM, poll respondents are lying to pollsters about their intent to vote for her.
The question being ... why are they piling on O'Donnell and not, say, Rossi or Fiorina?
That's obvious, even if her ardent supporters don't want to see it: it's because O'Donnell is an easy mark and the others are not. She doesn't come across like a Senator -- she's soft; and she seems shallow, hesitant, and very, very young.
Is that fair? No ... but it's real life in the media-dominated political world.
sweet really sweet
If ODonnell wins, I am SO tuning in to Chris Matthews show on election night for the endless weeping and gnashing of teeth.
In 2002 Carville put a bucket on his head whent the GOP gained seats in the midterms
In 2004 Carville slapped an egg on his face when Bush defeated Kerry
wonder what he'll do if O'Donnell pulls this out??? I'm hoping Seppuku
Bob Hope agrees:
That's funny.
If Coons wins, he won't be up for reelection until 2016. Senators serve six-year terms.
Hiya Onyx,
The local talk show guy was going on today about the lack of polls in this race. Come on, all week we've been hearing about polls from West Va,Ca, Ill, Rand Paul....even a poll just tonight on Fox for a supreme court judge running somewhere.
I got a theory about why this is so which I'll share in a minute.
First, let me state that Palin is definitely due to come to Delaware this Sunday. COD just got the endorsement of former Gov. Dupont which is a big deal.
Next, you really need to get to Delaware more. Except I don't know what to tell you to visit except maybe me.
Another tidbit which means i don't know what, let me remind y'all that Delaware currently has another big, big race going on...that of Delaware's ONLY Rep in America's House, to replace Mike Castle's old job. So this week Coons and the Democrat running for Castle's old seat, former loot-gov John Carney, have BOTH refused to participate in any more debates. In fact, Carney didn't show up for a scheduled debate with his pub opponent, Urquhart. Urquhart is greatly outpublicized by COD but he's okay with it. I love the guy and hey, there's no polls on this race either, now that I think of it.
Don't know what to make of all these refusal to come out in public with the Dems Coons/Carney AND, as an aside, there's another guy, Pete Schwartzkopf...you might remember his Dad, General in Desert Storm. Well Pete is a Dem, the ONLY Dem in Sussex county and we can't stand the man. He's running and let me tell you the Sussex pubs are out beating the hell out of Pete cause he's a tax and spend Dem of the highest order. and this ain't Wilmington here in Sussex county Delaware.
Anyway, Schwartzkopf TOO didn't show up for a scheduled debate recently! Remember, these are not possible or suggested debates, they are debates all scheduled with audiences showing up and boom, the Dems...they ain't showing up! Now Coons just refusing to go public this week.
What this means I don't know but throwing it out there.
Now as for polling for either COD and poor ole forgotten Urquhart, just the nicest man...here are the demographics in Delaware. Up north, in the Wilmington area, which is 2.5 hours from my house in this little state just to give you an idea...Wilmington also being kind of an extended suburb of Philadelphia....fully 3/4 of the population leaves in that area. Most of them are Democrat, heavily union, a lot of the welfare class, some blue collar. Few pubs or even Independents.
In Kent and Sussex county, both of these counties have 1/4 of the population, VERY conservative, more conservative than most of your red states....very conservative. I love Sussex county, it's a bit of heaven on earth.
Now that 3/4 of the population up around Wilmington, they might vote Democrat but they don't wake up election morn all full of zest and smiles ready to go to the polls and cast their vote.
In the past Delaware has had reliable Mike Castle of RINO fame. So the beleaguered Kent and Sussex countians went and voted for Castle just so whatever nut case the Dems might have come up with doesn't win. It was no mind if the 3/4 up north bothered to vote because the Dems were quite happy with Castle and they figured let the more reliable and probably not hung-over voters of Kent and Sussex vote him in.
THIS year they've got to get out those Philly surround voters and I do think they've taken polls and I suspect the polls are over the place.
I think the welfare Wilmington voters probably tell the pollsters that hell yeah they'll vote for Coons, sho nuff. So right there you've got 75% of the sample...well maybe 60% to get logical...all saying they'll vote for Coons, hell yeah.
Then they poll the Kent/Sussex voters and maybe right there you get 95% saying they're going for COD. Do the math on it and I'm thinking you got maybe Coons up by 20-25 points.
If you're a Freeper you probably figgered it out. The Coons voters are quite likely to sleep in come election day so what the pollsters are hearing ain't likely close to the outcome.
Bearing in mind, thanks for indulging me for my length, that I'm sure that a check of voting outcomes in the past likely revealed the turnout of voters to be something like 35% of the welfare folks with the rest being the Indies/pubs from downstate.
I am, understand here, pulling numbers outta the air but I'm working on my finely hones political hunch from what I learned in Delaware.
So much, so very, very much, depends on who comes out to vote this upcoming Tuesday. I know the turnout will affect races across the fruited plains but seriously, it is a drop dead huge point here in Delaware.
I'll end with the thought that more than anything that this is why Obamer came to Delaware last week. I'm thinking they've got the unions working on picking up the wilmington voters, supply them with a pack of cigs, bus them to the polls...that kind of thing.
In short, but why should I be short now?...I think the COD/Coons race will be a squeaker/nail-biter.
So you supply a link to a poll of registered voter types in Delaware....NOT A THING ABOUT WHO YOU GONNA VOTE FOR...and suggest this is a poll of the candidates?
Your dislike of COD is evident on the threads you post.
My analysis of the Delaware demographs allegedly working against COD upthread is way better than yours.
But then, I live here.
No. This election is to fill out the remainder of Biden's unexpired term, to which he was elected (over O'Donnell, in a landslide) in 2008.
An appointee filled the seat until the next general election, this year ... leaving 4 more years in the term.
So this seat is next up for election in 2014.
If COD is elected - the entire left wing will commit mass suicide.
>>>I will happily concede (along with every political strategist in the game) to have having been completely and utterly wrong.<<<
Yeah, yeah - heard that before the primary too...
Rove, Castle, etc. really did, didn't they.....
COD got two points less iin the 2008 election than John McCain got over Obamer. Which was something like 37%....but it wasn't a "landslide" against COD, since the pub nominee for prez came in about the same.
But don't let me stop your demented mission against Christine O'Donnell with the facts or anything.
I sure am rooting for her and would kill to see a decent poll within the last week. It is quite odd how nobody seems to want to poll the people of Delaware, but until they do we are really just hoping for the best in the face of a near double digit deficit with one week to go. But, Scott Brown happens! Or something like that.
Well, I certainly hope it makes more sense than your comment to me.
But hey -- I'm just doing math on the numbers available, and I provided links to the ones I used. I even said the numbers were somewhat old, but that they showed the difficulties O'Donnell has to overcome among independents.
That's just math applied to reality. If you're going to argue about my post, why not tell me where my math is wrong, rather than piling on your hopes and dreams about Democrats sleeping in and such?
Your dislike of COD is evident on the threads you post.
It's not a matter of "dislike," but rather that I think she's an awful candidate. That's a big reason why I don't think she'll be able to turn around her poor numbers among independents -- among whom she needs to win a huge majority in order to win the election.
It is true that Ds outnumber Rs 47-29
Christine doesn't have to win huge with indys.
She just needs to have a turnout advantage.
Early voting is showing a +15 average turnout advantage.
If that +15 takes place in Delaware - and that's the average -
that makes it 40-37 D's over R's. If Christine wins indies 60-40 - very possible, because conservative indies are more likely to vote than moderate or liberal indies, she wins.
It really isn't too tricky. Just take a look for the word "tsunami" in posts from today.
But don't get me wrong. If Democrats in Delaware are excited about voting to continue Obama's policies, Christine won't win.
All the evidence nationally is for a wave election, and if it is, Christine wins, and fairly handily.
You do know that in Kentucky, for example, it's 56 Dem and 37 Rep. Most of the country has more Dems than Republicans.
Rand Paul, the Republican, is up by 13.
You hate her.
No sin. But you post a link to some kind of analysis of types of voters in Delaware and state that the polls say COD will get these votes ...
it's misleading.
You think she's an awful candidate?
And you sure go to great lengths to point every little "bad" thing out.
Just odd.
Moving on.
Well, I'd rather have a BS ancedote that sounds reasonable than a BS "poll" that doesn't. I don't know if this is BS or not. I do remember back in 2008 that many of the projections from the Hillary camp didn't really pan out all that well.
But this article "sounds good to me"
Check out the R9... poster. Gets on every thread about COD putting her down.
Thinks she's an "awful" candidate and doesn't hesitate to point out every flaw and post some misleading facts.
Why would someone on a "conservative" forum do this?
What I'd say about polls right now is that we haven't had a real poll in quite some time.
The last one was 10/14 - it was Rasmussen, and it had Christine at -11. Rasmussen charges for crosstabs and they have some weird system of charging every month so I didn't want to spend $20 and forget to cancel, just to look at one set of crosstabs.
I suspect that Rasmussen did talk to more Rs than the others, but did they talk to the whole 37% of Rs?
She has come across very reasonable in the debates, not at all a crazy idiot, and I expect that she'll win, provided we have a similar turnout advantage that we're seeing in other states.
It's possible there was a Bradley effect in those old polls with the wide margins.
I'll loan him my tanto!
She's very pretty. She would be a very young very pretty very prolife female.
That scares the Democrats.
Do you remember that she was the star of the Values Voter convention back in September?
She's a star. Rossi and Fiorina are not stars.
People know who she is. And a lot more of them than you think do like her.
Based on her performances in the debates, she should have rock solid conservative support. They will be voting for her. Earlier polls pre debate, had less than full conservative support. Conservatives will be voting, and they will be voting for Christine. "Where in the first amendment?" was huge for conservatives.
Nope, not in this case. This is a short term, the seat that Biden won. 2014.
>>>She's not going to get the dismal Democrat turnout she needs. <<<
Gee, the large number of Dems that are going door-to-door, calling and putting out mailers for Christine must not have gotten your message...
Unlike Fishtalk who is about 45 minutes South of me, I am near the center of the State... Democrats around here have practically zip as far as interest in Coons...
Talked to a friend the other day who delivers to many businesses in New Castle County - according to him, as he talks to the mostly union people he delivers to, when he asks "Well, I suppose you are going to be supporting Coons..." According to him, not one has said they were - overwhelmingly (according to him) they say "Hell no - I won't vote for that SOB".
The Wilmington Daily Democrat even ran an article that the unions were having trouble getting GOTV workers - there is 'no fire in the belly.'
So, make of it what you will. I can sure see the light though...
She can do it!
You are feeling the buzz in Sussex. Are you saying that there's a huge Christine buzz in Sussex based on what you're experiencing?
Would, statewide, 60% Republican turnout and 37% Democrat turnout be a reasonable possibility? Higher you think, lower you think? Any thoughts there?
>>>I didnt think Delaware had early voting..<<<
You are right - we don't...
The "hopes and dreams" happen to be supported all across the country.
The average is +15 early voting. In Delaware, +18 gets the Republican vote and the Democrat vote equal.
Yeah, I thought this was a Conservative site.
You're thinking the same way as I am.
At this point. I don't want to see RAS or anybody else polling here. The situation is perfect for Christine right now. Her supporters are amped up and believe she is gaining on Coons the way she did against Castle. The Dems here think it's in the bank for them. If this situation prevails, she will turn out an army & Coons will not & she has got a GOOD chance of winning. A big poll showing her very close or very far behind will upset this dynamic.
I saw the article about the unions and the GOTV.
Excellent anecdotal evidence from you in the Kent / Dover area.
If we hold on to as many Republicans as Coons holds on to Democrats, as a percentage, we have the turnout advantage seen in the early voting, and win independents by a bit (due probably to a turnout advantage among Conservative Independents), we win.
I was in Dewey Beach a couple weeks ago, and I didn't really get much of a feel for how voters were. Didn't really leave the beach area / Rt 1 / the shopping centers area at all.
Hmmmm, good questions.
First, Sussex county created Christine O'Donnell. back in 2005 we were meeting in pizza parlors to hear her speak such was our disgust with the Delaware GOP.
She'll carry Sussex AND Kent, but that was never an issue.
Your question about a possible 60% versus 37% turnout is more germane to this AND the Urquhart race.
Yes, I think your percentages are very possible and in fact, I'm willing to bet, given the Castle thing for so many years, that this is probably normal turnout rates in Delaware.
THIS year though, I dunno. Delaware's got a large union population. I suspect there's big moves afoot to get out that lackluster Wilmington vote,which did turn out quite handily for Obamer in 2008., btw.
So the question is, can the Acorn/union groups get the Dems to the polls? Recalling that these folks are not nearly as enamored over that ugly Marxist midget Coons as they were for Obamer...and rightfully so. I'D take Obamer over Coons is how bad it is.
I still say this race will be close, much closer than anyone suspects.
Your analysis I believe is right on the money about the potential disruptive effect of a legitimate poll.
I do WANT a poll though. But more than that I want what's best for Christine.
Although I think the TCJ polls aren't real, I think the results are the closest. And I understand that in some ways these TCJ polls are good because it gives Christines emails some motivating numbers.
What if TPTB are worried that polls might show Christine closing the gap? That might provide her with momentum; and TPTB wouldn't like that...no, not one bit.
60% Republican turnout / 37% Democrat turnout means that the same number of Republicans and Democrats are voting.
Right. But the thinking is that the momentum is building without polls, and is growing at just the right speed. see outofstyle on this one.
I agree with you - hope the pollsters stay away...
But, they are working on it... Got a call today without anyone on the other end - checked out the number and it is a robo-polling outfit from Utah.
They have an agenda to push during lame duck. Coons would be on board ,O'Donnell will help stop it.
Outofstyle...good post...makes perfect sense.
Always the eternal optimist.
I'd pay to watch.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
Well, I think she's charming, refreshing and shares my viewpoints.
But what do I know?
That is probably the Tea Party Express.
They use NSON Research. NSON Research is based out of Salt Lake City.
That's great news because it causes me to think that what we heard from TPE on Sunday is accurate. They did a pretty bad job of giving details of that poll released Sunday. But they did, and NSON did, a good job in September.
Not at all.
I do, however, find it interesting that so many supposedly rational, supposedly conservative, people are ready to shout "hate" at the first hint of a contrary opinion. That used to be a hallmark of the emotional left -- still is, for that matter.
But you post a link to some kind of analysis of types of voters in Delaware and state that the polls say COD will get these votes ...
Oh, for crying out loud. It's a link to the internals of a particular poll, given as a reference to support what I was talking about. If you can't even work up the objectivity to recognize the honest use of references....
You think shes an awful candidate?
I do. Especially for Delaware.
She should say "I'm COD - Cash on Delivery" No more spending on account!
I'm not sure what TPTB is.
You could be right.
I suspect that the polls show several scenarios based on voter turnout. I don't for one minute think that the campaigns at least don't have polls.
I think the Delaware polls are showing anywhere from a win for Coons by twenty points to a win for COD by six.
All depending on turnout.
Of course all results depend on turnout you could argue. I still say that here in Delaware there's a certain total uncertainty to the turnout because due to the Castle RINO thing there was never a concern with getting the big northern vote out.
But hey, it's just speculation on my part, nothing more.
Still, a fact that can't be denied, there are no polls be quoted for Delaware since a Rasmussen one some couple weeks ago.
I see someone on this thread got some help. Never fight your own battles when you can gang up...that's the ticket.

Hey everyone.
This is my first post here, since it's the first time i am developing for wordpress.
I am building a plugin, that is using the
I need to capture the contents of the new post created, what is present in the rich text editor.
when i make a die(var_dump($_POST)), i get ['content'] and ['post_content'] with the exact same value. That value is close to what i am looking for, but it discards the html formatting.
How can i get the exact HTML that is going to be published by wordpress?
Thanks :)

I am sure its just me.
Ok I use Mozilla updated and flash updated.
I tried IE9, Chrome, Mozilla, And Android Dolfin, all the same, no Gallery showing. And I guess its since I updated to WP versin 3.5.
maybe you can help.
If it is to complicated maybe it helps to just reinstall the plugin??. But I have so many Galleries made with descriptions for every single picture... and if I uninstall the plugin then all the gallery descriptions are gone or?
Kind regards Jan

'Lois Ehlert's Mole Hill Stories' casts a spell on theatergoers of all ages
In the beginning, there was a nearly blind mole in the dark woods. Less than one hour later, that same mole could see all the way to the moon, inspired by a fellow creature making the seemingly impossible journey there.
