Driving Leads to Profitable Conversations
Mary Anne Hensley - CMO Council, Susan Bryant - DialogTech, Bryan Huber - Comfort Keepers
Oct 27 2016
60 mins
Architecting today's customer journey is a top priority for senior marketing leaders, who must guide the customer through the path to purchase and craft experiences across a multitude of channels and devices, all while keeping sight of the ultimate goal: guiding a customer through to conversion. But there is a channel that often goes unrecognized and unsupported in this new digital age: the phone call.
According to a recent BIA/Kelsey report, "call commerce" is a $1 trillion influence engine as analysts estimate that click to call influences some $1 trillion in U.S. consumer spending. The firm went on to project that some "169 billion mobile calls to businesses (will be made) by 2020, driven by smartphone penetration, high commercial intent and the natural handoff between mobile engagement and phone calls."
The digital experience has brought rise to an influential channel of profit in the phone call that must not be overlooked. As customer satisfaction is measured in quick clicks and frictionless engagements, tools like the Google call button have made it even easier for brands to actively connect digital experiences to profitable inbound calls. This call commerce demands a new set of strategies, campaigns and executions, in addition to new measures and metrics to better track these online to offline conversations.

From Fear to Friction: What Is Destroying the Best Made Marketing Plans?
Liz Miller - CMO Council, Carly Dahlen - JustFab, Robbie Baxter - Peninsula Strategies
Oct 18 2016
72 mins
Year over year, new strategies and plans are developed in an effort to boost the bottom line, ramp up customer engagement and establish profitable competitive advantages that elevate strategies to proven industry best practices. But in reality, even the best-laid plans get sidetracked. They are adopted only in part, stalled by organizational silos or tabled because of budget concerns. When implemented, results can be less than hoped for or forecasted—customers react differently…or not at all.
As we head into the second half of the year, the CMO Council, in partnership with Vindicia, will host a one-hour, interactive webcast to discuss the new opportunities in business models, digital engagements and experiences, including subscription services and recurring payments. We will also be discussing how leading brands, led by fearless marketers, have pushed through issues of complex processes and customer journeys rife with gates, stops and requirements and instead taken the path that feels counter-intuitive yet delivers a frictionless experience for the customer.
Among the questions and topics to be discussed in this hour are:
•Where and how are we unintentionally stopping our customers from engaging, transacting and lengthening their lifetime relationships with our brands?
•What are industry disruptors doing to change the experience and make waves, and how can we apply that same thinking to our businesses today?
•Are we so focused on creating processes and experiences that we are actually making it harder for customers to be loyal?
•New ideas and thinking around monetizing experiences and turning content into opportunity

Let's face it, when it comes to marketing, our target market has created a wall, it's not their fault, it's ours. Think about this - you're responsible for generating over 5,000 leads this quarter, how are you going to do it?
- Create another eBook?
- Write more blogs?
- Invest more money in AdWords?
- Refocus on building pipeline with ABM?
You would probably want a combination of all the above, but that's time-consuming and quickly adds up $$$. And even if you're doing all of the above, there isn't a guarantee that these channels will cut through the noise. Take these examples into consideration:
- 57% of Internet users don't click on banner ads because they're afraid of receiving spam or malware.
- 18% of Internet users in the U.S. use an ad blocker, which resulted in a loss of $5.8 billion in ad revenue on 2014.
- Spotify Premium grew by a cool 10 million users since 2014 as consumers sought an ad-free listening experience.
If you're a start-up, small company, (even if you're pretty big) marketing budgets are tight and always scrutinized. Influencer marketing has proven to be a profitable and scalable channel, if done right. Learn from growth marketing experts as they give you tips on how to Growth hack your business through Influencer Marketing.

Stephen Eubanks of the 300 block of Belair Road in North Augusta faces charges of lewd act upon a child under the age of 16, exposing of private parts, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and one count of enticing children from school. The judge set bond at $5,000 for each charge.
Agents with the State Law Enforcement Division said their investigation began on Sept. 19 at the request of the North Augusta Department of Public Safety.
According to SLED, the incidents occurred between 1975 and 1977 and involved a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, who were students at North Augusta High School and Paul Knox Junior High School, now Paul Knox Middle School.
According to Augusta Chronicle archives, Mr. Eubanks was an assistant principal at the high school and later principal at the junior high school.

Bush Leads in Reuters Poll, But Gore Rises in Key States
By Alan Elsner, Political Correspondent
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican George W. Bush (news - web sites) kept his three-point lead over Democrat Al Gore (news - web sites) in Monday's Reuters/MSNBC national daily tracking poll, but separate surveys of nine key battleground states showed Gore making inroads.
The state polls showed Gore widening his lead in Florida, overtaking Bush in Pennsylvania and closing the gap in his home state of Tennessee.
The national survey of 1,213 likely voters in the Nov. 7 election, conducted Friday to Monday by pollster John Zogby, found the Texas governor with 45 percent and the vice president with 42 percent, unchanged from Sunday's results. Eight days remain until the Nov. 7 election.
Green Party nominee Ralph Nader (news - web sites) polled 5 percent; Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan (news - web sites) stayed at 1 percent; Libertarian Harry Browne (news - web sites) had 1 percent, and the rest remained undecided.
The race remained well within the statistical margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points. A candidate would have to be more than six points in the lead to be outside that zone of uncertainty -- something neither man has achieved since the poll began on Sept. 29.
In the equally tight race for the House of Representatives, voters preferred the Republicans by one point. The Democrats need a net gain of seven seats to regain control from the Republicans after six years in the minority.
In a race this close, national polls cannot predict a winner because the election is likely to be decided in key swing states. Reuters and MSNBC are conducting daily tracking polls in nine such battleground states, polling around 600 likely voters in each over three days. These state samples each have a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.
The results showed Gore had expanded his lead in the key state of Florida to 11 percentage points, outside the margin of error. Many analysts believe that is a must-win state for Bush.
Gore also had an eight-point lead in Wisconsin and a six-point lead in Illinois. He was ahead by a single point in Washington state and Michigan and took a three-point lead in Pennsylvania, reversing a Bush lead of three points the previous day.
Bush's lead in Gore's home state of Tennessee narrowed to four points from seven. He led by five points in Ohio, and by a single point in Missouri.
In total, 153 votes in the Electoral College are up for grabs in those nine states. At the moment, Gore would win 110 and Bush would take 43 of those votes.
These are the complete state-by-state results for Monday:
Bush Gore Nader Electoral Votes Florida 40 51 4 25 Illinois 41 47 4 22 Michigan 44 45 4 18 Missouri 46 45 4 11 Ohio 48 43 3 21 Pennsylvania 43 46 3 23 Tennessee 49 45 2 11 Washington 44 45 6 11 Wisconsin 41 49 4 11
A total of 270 electoral votes are needed to be elected president. Most analysts believe both candidates have definitely secured about 200, leaving some 138 to be fought over.
The state polls also measured five tough Senate races. It found Republican Rick Lazio (news - web sites) leading first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites) in New York, 48-43 percent.
In Missouri, the late Gov. Mel Carnahan (news - web sites), who died in a plane crash on Oct. 16 but whose name still appears on the ballot, is ahead of Republican incumbent Sen. John Ashcroft, 49-43 percent. His widow said on Monday she would serve in his place if he were elected.
In Florida, Democrat Bill Nelson was 11 points ahead of Republican Bill McCollum and seemed poised to capture a Republican-held seat.
In Michigan, Republican incumbent Spence Abraham trailed Democratic challenger Debbie Stabenow by two points.
In Washington, Republican incumbent Slade Gorton held a four-point lead over Democrat Maria Cantwell.
In the national poll, 83 percent said they were unlikely to change their minds before Election Day. Forty-one percent have ruled out voting for Bush and 43 percent for Gore.
Men backed Bush, 50-37 percent; women preferred Gore by 47-41 percent as the electorate continued to show a substantial gender gap.
Reuters and MSNBC will release a new poll every day at 6:30 p.m. (2330 GMT) until the election.
Oh crap....I read Gore and thought Kerry....sheesh...don't scare me like that
For a more recent example of the pathetic polling, look at Zogby's 2002 Colorado (senate) and Florida (gov) races.
Ridiculous. Gore has NO chance in Florida.
polls are like opinions, everyone has one.
Wow! Gore was ahead by 11 points in Florida at this time in 2000, yet Bush still won the state.
Very interesting. Compared to the 2000 election, Bush is in a much better situation including the country's driving issue of the campaign: terroism. Bush didn't have that kind of issue back then. A great post that provides a little perspective for those in need of some Republican courage.
I love it when you pull up these old stories.
Actually, Zogby's last poll for the 2002 Florida race was dead on.
This is excellent. Thank you for reminding everyone that these polls do nothing but increase the chances for a heart attack. If anyone really wants to know how Bush is doing just look at his crowd sizes compared to the half sized Kerry's. Look at where they're campaigning, Bush in Democrat country and Kerry can't even energize the Democrat country.
Im waiting for Kerry to take a lead in Rasmussen and watch the panic from the chicken littles/trolls
Looks like Zogby is factoring in the double voting, dead voters, illegal-alien voters, and convicted felon voters. With those, he is probably pretty close. Without them, it is nearer the other polls.
Yea a 12 point swing in from the previous poll i believe.Real spot on
True, but Bush also didn't have the huge negatives he has this time. It wouldn't take much to drive Bush's negatives up enough to cause him to lose the election. That's what the RATs and the MSM are trying to do. It's their best shot at the WH in 2004.
That's what Zogby wants to happen.
HEY ZOGBY...I have a flashback for ya!
ping for good stuff
As usual, most of Zogby's polls were accurate, but a couple were totally off the wall.
Yeah, he tried to cover his ass at the very end. Lets look at Oct 2002:
I disagree. When the story suddenly came out about Bush's ancient DUI, that caused a serious withdrawal from 4 million evangelicals. This time that will not happen because we've had four years of Bush, we know him.
See here as well:
That was a real laugher. If Gore had won his own state, he could've won the election.
I guess he wasted too much time in Floridah, and it looks like Kerry is going to do the same.
Flashbacks? I'll tell you about flashbacks (Go SOX!!!)
I always like to point that out to liberals. "If Gore had won his home state or Clinton had delivered Arkansas to Gore, the entire issue in Florida would have been moot."
Of course all they can come back with is "Yeah, but Bush (and his brother/Republicans) still stole the election/selected by the Supreme Court, etc."
Didn't they say that McBride had a lead over Jeb right up to election day and then Jeb won by over 15%?
Something like that. The Libs were using Jeb as a test run to pay G.W. back for 2000. I don't remember the exact nature of the polls, but I do recall the top leadership of the Dem Party and MSM stating it was close. They were all left with egg on their face and carville with a bag over his head when Jeb won far beyond the ability to take the state with voter fraud.
Also, I think there will be far more than 4 million plus the sum that voted in 2000 this time. That was the number they anticipated in 2000. It's nowhere near the capacity of the evangelical/Christian vote when mobilized.
Kerry has very high negatives himself, very difficult for a challenger.

A horrifying creature has landed on the shores of Mossflower country: Gulo the Savage, a wolverine who is known to devour his enemies' flesh. Gulo intends to kill his brother and seize a mighty relic known as the Walking Stone. But standing in Gulo's way is Redwall Abbey and a mercenary squirrel named Rakkety Tam MacBurl. Soon, the Mossflower woods are ringing with the glorious sound of battlecries, as an epic battle that tests the bonds of comradeship begins.
Thanks to the extraordinary vocal talents of a full cast of accomplished performers, joined by the author himself, each wondrous character is fully brought to life, and Rakkety Tam becomes a riveting listening experience that is not easily forgotten.
Don't miss any of Brian Jacques' Redwall series.
©2004 The Redwall La Dita Co., Ltd.; (P)2004 Recorded Books, LLC
"The colorful writing style, the strong cast of characters, and twisting plot will continue to delight fans of the series." (School Library Journal)
"Took me back to Story Time back when I was a Kid"
It took me a bit to get used to the harsh accents that the many different readers "actors" give to the charactors of the book. Soon I found I counted on them to help distinguish the different charactors as there are many. Before long I was captivated by the story which was well worth the purchase. One of those books you would not mind finding it is one of several in a series as you didn't want to let go of the charactors in the story.
"Jacques Doesn't Disappoint"
I am a 5th grade teacher and have never been disappointed by a Brian Jacques work. Whether it's a book in the wonderful Redwall family or one of his unrelated works like Castaways of the Flying Dutchman; Jacques remains a masterful storyteller. I agree with other reviewers that it takes a chapter or two to "tune" your ears to the accents of the wide variety of creatures and characters, but once that is done you're in for a fantastic, morally sound tale suitable for children from 9-99. Enjoy!!
"Loved the book & the audio quality is great."
The book is fun, exciting & entertaining. The audio is great, especially if you download at a 4. Brian Jacques books are good clean fun.
"favorite redwall story!!"
loved it!! great story line with surprises throughout the entire story! I love redwall but this one is by far my favorite!
8 year member.
"I have bought many accessories because of it."
I wanted to be a Scottish Warrior so bad I bought a Dirk and sing dubh and I enjoyed Sgt One will very much. One of my Redwall faves. Tavish MacTavish or Tim Thompson depending on if I have the Dirk.
"this one might be my favorite"
I loved it. It made me cry three times. I've listened to so many so fast now I can guess the voices.
"another well done redwall novel"
I have always enjoyed reading books of Redwall, but listening to this one was amazing!
"Never gets old"
I've listened to around two to five audio books a week and Rakkety Tam is in my top three
Rakkety Tam hes a classic hero
I wish all books were done by the author and a full cast theres nothing quite like it
there are several but a don't want to ruin the book you will just have to listen
Brian Jacques is one of the best author. he writes amazing characters and deep engrossing stores and Rakkety Tam is my favorite of all his books.
"Gotta love these Irish and Scottish voices"
Man, this is one of the greatest books by Brian J., and it should defiantly be within anybodies library. Its funny, adventurous, imaginative and downright original. With most books and book series, you get some of the same characters that start to bore you after some time, but with this series, you'll always hear about something different.
The way this has stood out, would have to be the Highland and Border squirrels. Man, I love those accents! They're amazing and i found myself trying to make an Irish accent myself.
Highly recommended to people who would like to have something original that's never the same when you listen to the others!
"Got to love the accents!"
Lots of action, unexpected events, plus plenty of humor. The catchy tunes were a big plus too.
Rakkety Tam & Doogy Plumm. Ah've always loved a Scottish accent, and these didnae disappoint. :) Loved all of the Long Patrol for similar reasons to that above; the accents really make the book.
I've listened to Mossflower and to Taggerung. All had excellent casting, with the voices fitting the charactors just right.
Moved...probably not, but I listened and re-listened to several parts.

This Earth Day, we wanted to get an environmental expert's perspective on how each of us can help protect our planet. We talked with Susan Collins, President of the Container Recycling Institute. The CRI is a non-profit organization founded in 1991. Their mission is bringing about a rapid increase in recycling for a world where no material is wasted, and the environment is protected.
Rainbow Light: What are the worst offenders when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming?
Susan Collins: It's interesting for each person to assess their own carbon footprint and how they might be contributing to global warming. For most people, the top four items to keep an eye on are heating and electricity for the home, car/transportation, our "stuff" (the products we use) and our food.
Most of us easily think how our homes and our cars use fossil fuel, but we don't have that same awareness about our stuff and our food. Our food has a bigger overall impact on our personal carbon footprint than most people realize. For example, meat and dairy generally have a higher carbon footprint than plant-based meals. With regards to our "stuff," we have to realize that, while it may be cheap and easy to buy "stuff" and packaging, there are so many resources that went into making every product we purchase.
Materials had to be mined, extracted or grown, and they had to be refined or manufactured in factories – perhaps chemicals were used to process them. The materials or products were then transported to retail outlets, and those retailers also use energy. All of these steps along the way create greenhouse gases and other toxic emissions. So, reducing consumption of various types of goods, or stuff, is a powerful way to reduce our personal carbon footprint.
RL: According to the CRI website, over 15 billion beverage cans and bottles have been landfilled, littered or burned so far in 2013. What can consumers do to help reduce this waste?
SC: Now we're up to 26 billion for 2013, and climbing! You can keep count at www.container-recycling.org. Consumers should reduce usage whenever possible, by doing simple things on an individual level like carrying their own personal water bottle, and then recycling everything they possibly can. But the most important act is to work collectively with others to advocate for comprehensive recycling programs and policies. Individual actions are great, but when you join together to advocate for systemic change, you can multiply your individual efforts by thousands of times.
RL: Many people recycle in an effort to keep packaging waste out of landfills. What is the most important purpose of recycling?
SC: Most people don't realize how powerful recycling is – even I didn't realize it, even though I was working in the field for many years! Recycled materials are able to avoid the upstream mining, extraction, growing and manufacturing impacts, and these are so much larger than most people would imagine! I often ask people what they think the largest environmental impacts associated with packaging are, and many people mention transportation. Well, I thought that was the biggest impact too, until I saw the data. It turns out that the upstream impacts (mining, manufacturing, etc.) really dwarf the transportation impacts. And these huge upstream impacts are the ones we can avoid through recycling – so it is truly an effective activity!
RL: Why is using recycled content in packaging important?
SC: For a product manufacturer, using recycled content is one of the most effective ways they can reduce the carbon footprint of their products and packaging. When you use recycled content in place of virgin materials, you help reduce all of the emissions associated with mining, raw material extraction and primary material manufacturing. These savings are substantial – the carbon footprint of 100% recycled content plastic bottles is about 70-90% lower than that of bottles made from virgin materials.
RL: What is the impact of using 100% recycled packaging?
SC: Using 100% recycled content packaging maximizes the benefit of using recycled materials, and for plastics, it can reduce the carbon footprint of the containers by 70-90%.
At Rainbow Light, we are committed to maintaining a healthy environment, reducing carbon emissions and keeping plastic bottles from ending up in our oceans, natural habitats and landfills.
We are the first supplement brand to use EcoGuard® bottles made from 100% recycled, 100% recyclable material. These bottles are FDA-approved and BPA-free. EcoGuard bottles have reduced our bottle carbon footprint by 92% and keep millions of plastic bottles from landfills annually. Learn more about EcoGuard bottles at our sustainable ecoguard bottles.

He made plays when he had to—that's it. That's all that was asked of him. He is a playmaker but not a dynamic playmaker. He left the flashiness to Jay Cutler.
There are five glaring reasons that tell me he is capable of leading the Bears down the stretch of this cupcake schedule. Here they are:

Thirty states and the District of Columbia have expanded Medicaid eligibility to 138 percent of the federal poverty level as allowed by the Affordable Care Act, and they will be required to contribute matching funds beginning Jan. 1, 2017. This means that legislatures in those states will have to appropriate state funds during their budget sessions in 2016.

The main source of funding to provide long-term care and support for these individuals streams from Medicaid through state budgets. McKillop highlighted national data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that showed the elderly and disabled individuals comprised 24 percent of Medicaid enrollees in 2010, but accounted for 64 percent of total Medicaid expenditures in the states.
State legislators attending the fourth annual CSG Medicaid Policy Academy June 17-19, in Washington, D.C., learned how critical Medicaid funding can be to services for vulnerable persons. Dr. Jeffery Brenner, a 2013 winner of a MacArthur Foundation genius award, challenged the group to rationalize the health care system. He described how his project in Camden, N.J. has reduced costs and improved care for patients suffering from a complex set of chronic diseases. Health care workers visit patients in their residences and seek to evaluate not just medical needs but social and emotional needs as well.
Long-term care and supports were the focus of the 2015 CSG Medicaid Policy Academy, held in Washington, D.C., June 17-19, 2015. The 30 registered CSG members came from 19 states. Home states are marked in purple in the map below. Over the four years CSG has convened the Medicaid Policy Academy, legislators from 42 states have participated.
The program concluded with a plenary session featuring Dr. Jeffrey Brenner, medical director of the Urban Health Institute at the Cooper University Healthcare as well as the founder and executive director of Camden (N.J.) Coalition of Healthcare Providers. In 2013, Dr. Brenner was named a MacArthur Fellow for his work on addressing the health care needs of the chronically ill in impoverished neighborhoods.
The Act establishes ABLE savings trust accounts to be administered by the Virginia College Savings Plan to facilitate the saving of private funds for paying the qualified disability expenses of certain disabled individuals. Under the federal Achieving a Better Life Experience Act of 2014, Congress authorized states to establish ABLE savings trust accounts to assist individuals and families in saving and paying for the education, housing, transportation, employment training and support, assistive technology and personal support services, health, prevention and wellness, financial management and administrative services, and other expenses of individuals who were disabled or blind prior to the age of 26. Earnings on contributions to ABLE savings trust accounts are exempt from federal income tax. Because Virginia conforms to the federal income tax laws, earnings on contributions to ABLE savings trust accounts will also be excluded from Virginia taxable income.

Skip to comments.John McCain for President in 2012? He Says No [don't you dare run again, you scumbag RINO]
Posted on 06/07/2009 7:58:01 PM PDT by rabscuttle385
No often means yes in Washington, but we hear from Sen. John McCain's posse that he is not considering a 2012 rerun of his failed 2008 presidential campaign. (W beat him in the 2000 primary, remember.) Word came this week that he is mulling over another try, but a key insider says, "Ridiculous."
(Excerpt) Read more at usnews.com ...
Ok. My humble opinion. Title Fields are for titles, comment fields are for comments.
Duly noted.
God I loved that headline! LOL!
Square brackets covered you, I think.
Get out of the way and let the real conservatives run.
Thanks for the parenthesis in the headline. Reflected my views from a year ago and longer...
If I have to alter the headline, my own additions (never deletions) are always in brackets.
...yeah, that's a guarenteed 2012 winner. *laughs*
Let him run again...he'll never win the nomination
He did so well the last time.
>> Title Fields are for titles, comment fields are for comments.
It's quite clear what part was the title, and what part was the comment.
And the comment was dead on.
The bracketed words took the words right out of my mouth.
It's amazing that anyone would even think this is remotely plausible.
No way Jose.
Palin/Cheney or Cheney/Palin!
Wait a minute, what are you trying to say? Stop tapdancing around it and spit it out.
Does McCain think Obama needs his help to get elected again?
RINO yes, scumbag no. His time is past, like Dole in 2000.
Mox nix.
But what do you think of Mitt Romney?
(Just kidding, I already know.)
What's the difference? We'll all be behind barbed wire and searchlights due to being right wing extremists.
Let him run against Sarah in the 2012 primaries. Watching him try to explain why he's a better candidate would be priceless. He'd get his usual crowd of 500, and she'd be drawing 20k screaming fans. Good luck, John.
I would rather have Meghan McCain in 2012. If you have to do a Titanic, you might as well have the ship do a double backflip onto the iceberg.
He's seeking to insure obama's reelection.
Romney is a good-for-nothing political chameleon. Unfortunately, the libertarians I know aren't nearly as suspicious of him as I am.
Rabs did fine. Your opinion is right to be humble, as hard as it must be.
lol can you imagine McCain and Huckster doing their little dance again oh crap.
You were too kind. ;-)
to be fair, he did about as well as could be expected once the credit, financial and stock markets all collapsed at the same time.
If you look at the Fair model by that guy at Yale who plugs in the economic data and predicts the election, and who's pretty much been right with every election of the past 100+ years, what McCain ended up getting was around what the economic data said he'd get.
He has a tool on his site where you can plug in different variables. If the economic data last year(GDP growth rate, inflation, market performance) was the same as it was in 2004 or 2000, McCain would have won, just as Bush did. Converseley if the data in 2004 was the same as it was last year, Kerry would have won, just as Obama did. It was basically the economic collapse that determined the outcome of the election.
In a way it's a shame that a guy who did what he did for this country, then went through 2000, waited 8 long years to run again, was totally finished throughout most of 2007 and amazingly won the nomination, saw his shot at the WH ended because of an economic collapse that he really had little if anything to do with.
That said, he was never my first choice, and it's time for someone new.
Is part of his calculation a "stimulus package" that will never, ever be repaid and which will cripple the American economy lonf after I'm worm food?
Well said.
Oh wait. Wrong abuut the national security thing. He promised to close Guantanamo. Now he's not so sure.
First things first. We need a true fiscal conservative majority in Congress in 2010, or this country is toast.
We can at least have the satisfaction of keeping the bitter little man away from the candidacy again.
Well you can rest assured we'll have to see the Huckster again. Just looking at that guy makes me want to vomit.
His four year plan should be "don't die" not run for president. Surely he has at least the self awareness to know that if people thought he was too old in '08 he definitely will be in '12.
I remember last year on FR when the Juan McLame supporters couldn't relize that the "jig was up", "game over" or "game-set-match" until the very end (election night). Then came the sniping on Palin, deniles and finger pointing.
And what did McLame do afterwards? Well, suck up to the winner and the Demmies.
John, to put it bluntly, you can go suck an egg. You were Bob Dole redux (aka: It's my turn, I earned it) and stabbed your VP pick in the back via proxies.
Go home old man.
Not at all first.
Quite frankly, the pain the country is in is worth it if it yanks the people back to the right and educates the youth.
I and many others will work to oppose any and all social liberals. Even if it means more of what we have had for the last half of a year.
You want to try in 2012 without a unified conservative movement again, go ahead and get a dishwater conservative who is only conservative fiscally. But it won't work a bit better than 2008.
Time for Juan McLame and his larda$$ daughter to retire to that lettuce farm he's always dreamed of! He'll never pay $50 per hour like he claimed but he will give the illegals a sanctuary to gather.
He shouldn't be running NEXT year for the Senate, either.
"Well you can rest assured well have to see the Huckster again. Just looking at that guy makes me want to vomit."
Ditto. Every one of those losers from the last election should have the common courtesy to go away and stay away. Our party was horribly split last time because we had no truly acceptable choice that could please the majority of us. The worst of ALL of them was John McCain, a candidate who was not only not elected, but probably unelectable. With Sarah Palin in the game now, I think we have an option that can unite most of our party if we don't allow the RATS and media to destroy her before that time comes.
no. he pretty much just looks at the GDP growth rate for the year of the election, the rate of inflation, and the number of qtrs in the preceeding term that were greater than 3% or so. I think market performance and unemployment may also be factored in.
You plug in those figures and it pretty much tells you who's going to win. Defnitely who wins period and within 1-2 pts of the actual total. His final total was for data through Sept 30 and he had the GOP getting about 48%. Once you factor in that thet 3rd qtr started in Oct and was the worst qtr of growth in 25 years and factor that in, the 46% it ended up with is about right.
My point wasn't to pump McCain, just to point out that given the date, he did about as wlel as could be expected or hoped for. If the economy was the same as it was in 2004, he would have won, arguably with a greater % than Bush did. The economy was much, much worse in 2008 so he lost. Not his fault really, but it happens.
He says no; we say Hell No!

Ubisoft is betting big with all its titles, and the multiplatform Watch Dogs wouldn't be much of a bet if they weren't planning a special edition release for it! The publisher today pulls the wraps off its $129.99 Watch Dogs Limited Edition Pack, scheduled to ship this November 19th for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Ubisoft also pledges that the bundles should be ready in time for the launches of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms. Yes, the Wii U version seems absent from that list though the game remains in development for Nintendo's platform.
So what in the world does $130 get you this time? Here's a quick rundown from Ubisoft:
- Watch Dogs video game
- 9" statue of Aiden Pearce prominently showing his deadliest weapon – his smartphone
- Aiden Pearce's iconic vigilante mask
- Collectible SteelBook game case featuring DedSec art
- Official soundtrack with an original score by pioneering composer Brian Reitzell, whose work includes the films The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, and the video game Red Faction: Armageddon. His recent projects - Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring and the hit NBC thriller Hannibal – are earning critical acclaim, reaffirming Reitzell's status as one of the industry's top composers.
- Deluxe hardcover art book with 80 pages of concept art
