The results: Democratic 36%, Tea Party 23%, Republican 18%.
This is why I want this to happen. It'll fracture the Republican party completely and allow the Democrats to gain a lot of ground.
What I really hope this does is force all the crazies to precipitate out of their respective parties, and allow the remaining sensible people to actually discuss important issues.
As long as the batshit crazies don't outnumber everyone else, we're OK.
Here's a link to the poll itself, including margin of error.There's no statistically significant difference between the preference for Republican or Tea Party, but there is a solid preference for Democratic over the other two options. There's also a significant "Undecided" portion, which is good because it indicates that not everyone votes along party lines.
It should be noted that this was a land-line telephone survey, so that will introduce some sampling bias.

If this means that the US can be forced into proportional representation, I might need a cigarette and a couple of towels. Multiple parties are what the US needs to survive.
Oh fuck.Looks like they were already talking about running together.
Time to get my papers in order for a rest-of-my-life working vacation in Spain.
Um, douchebag? I took animation history classes in school, where we talked about Walt Disney, both the man and his work, quite a bit. This is not something I heard from fucking Family Guy, so shut up and sit down. In any case, this has less to do with racism in the Disney canon and more to do with his personal life. It's like Vagner: Vagner was a well known Aryan supporter, but we still play and enjoy Ride of the Valkyries. If an artist was anti-Jewish, what's wrong with saying he was?
Emily, while I agree with everything you have said and would add that your defense pretty much fucking rocks, I feel the compulsion to point out that its "Wagner," with a W. It's just pronounced with a V sound, German-style.
I love me some Gino's East or Pizzeria Due, with that incredible flaky cornmeal crust...Of course, Chicago is one of the US's two centers of glorious pizza bliss.
A life without pizza ain't no life. Nuri, I am so sorry.
The only things that make it bearable are (a) Glutino frozen pizzas, which are actually pretty good, and (b)Pete makes me pizza I can eat, and we just found a recipe for crust that is very promising.

*thinks* I can work on this problem. I'll have a chat to my old boss Anthony, And I'll get back to you.

Whoops, my bad. I always get that confused because of the German pronunciation.
It's for real, and seeing as how I sometimes work in the freezer stockroom at Target, and space is constantly an issue, this is actually making my job easier.
Oh shits, the great Eggo riots of ought-nine! Actually, since I work work overnight when the store is closed, the dayside douchebags will have to deal with the riots. If it comes to a nighttime invasion, then all those "What would we do if zombies?" conversations I used to have with co-workers might actually come in handy.
Well, there was some rain, and some snow from last night. I hydroplaned on (in?) rain puddles, but there was snow on the ground (and flying from cars only my windshield). Not fun.

Hey, I can see the Pacific Ocean from my apartment window, and it rains 75% of the year. Well, not really, but everyone who doesn't live in Seattle thinks it does here.

Dear Fate, LEGGO MY EGGOS!
I hydroplaned twice on the highway on my way to school.
Need I say more?
Traction control (and responsible driving) makes the issue moot, but it's still annoying.
EDIT: Oh, that's right, you probably take 87 most of the way to work. That must've been hell.
