So one of my friends keeps getting her signs stolen.
Anyone have suggestions for something to coat it with, along the lines of super glue or paint, that won't dry quickly?
Healthy dose of irritant.
Mace or concentrated cinnamon oil.
You don't really want to invite republicans to sue you. A lot of them, especially crazy preacher types, use it as a revenue stream.
Put a sign next to it that says: "This sign is private property located on private property. Taking it is theft. Said sign is coated in mace. Do not touch eye balls after stealing said sign."
She's a nutter, but ultimately a distraction and irrelevant.
I just hope she doesn't turn into another Sarah Palin
She was Sarah Palin before Sarah Palin was Sarah Palin. This woman runs for office for a living. On an alternate universe she has already won the election, then quit to feast on some hearty wingnut welfare.
The only real difference between Christine O'Donnell and Sarah Palin is that Sarah Palin has won an election in her lifetime.

And all your bases are covered.
Pretty sure that booby trapping is illegal in many/most areas.

Now I have this silly image her extending her life beyond the grave so that she can win an election.
And her slogan? "I'm not a lich, I'm you."

Boobytrapping your property against theft is seriously, feloniously illegal. Please don't get yourself in trouble over a stupid sign.
That being said, stealing signs is also real theft. If you can get pictures/video, you can get those (probably) kids in trouble. I recommend a deer cam. It's basically made for that purpose. If you have a friend that hunts, I'm sure he'll let you borrow it for that purpose.

Not a booby trap if you tell them straight up that it's coated in mace.

Are tags on clothing that explode blue dye when tampered with illegal? Cause stores use those all the time.
edit: deer camera is the best option, though. See if you can scrounge one up.

Eh, in that case the paint grenade thing probably skirts the line just barely. And yeah, video would probably help.
On one hand, I feel sort of bad how often stupid shit she said 10-20 years ago is coming back to haunt her.
But on the other hand, nobody forced her to go on camera and say stupid shit, past or present. When you actively choose to have and publically express opinions that are fucktarded, my empathy dies a silent, unremarkable death.
So.... masturbation is wrong.
But sleeping with some guy you met once 3 months ago is totally okay.
Edit: oh god, I was only part way through... a "born again virgin"? *facepalm*

True or not, this is not the October surprise I was hoping to read about...
I'm not even sure why I wasted my time reading half of that.
Yeah, worst Penthouse Letter ever. :P
Yeah, I don't even care about this at all. Relatively young, single-woman goes out on Halloween and hooks up with a douchebag? I actually think he comes across worse after it all.
Also her pictures are adorable, this better not win her the race or something...

Honestly, she is fairly attractive. It somewhat balances out the atrocious nature of her politics and world view.

I'm not trusting some random internet dude with a "yeah I totally did that broad. I did her HARD. Story". Hell if one of my friends told me that story and showed me a few lady bug pics taken in what looks like a bar, I'd call bullshit.

I like how one of the comments called him out for running from the vagina of an attractive lady, that he invited into his bed.
Because, I mean, she didn't wax, so of course she's a monstrous troll.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
The guy sounds like a douche, and the website should be ashamed of itself for publishing such idiocy. It's a non-story and completely unnecessary in discrediting such an easily discreditable Senate candidate.

Gawker doesn't really have any shame to begin with. It's kind of like TMZ with better writing.
A new poll conducted by Hays Research confirms what we already intuitively know. Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller's candidacy is in big trouble.
The percentage of Alaskans who feel either "somewhat negative" or "very negative" about Miller has skyrocketed in recent weeks to an astronomical 68 percent. Only 8 percent feel "somewhat negative" and the remainder, a jaw-dropping 60 percent, feel "very negative" about Miller as a candidate.
...
Hays asked the question (replicating the experience of the voter going in to the booth in which they will not see the name of write-in candidate Lisa Murkowski on the ballot), "If the election for U.S. Senate were held today, and the candidates were Joe Miller, Scott McAdams, Frederick Haase, Tim Carter, Ted Gianoutsos, or another candidate you have to write in, for whom would you vote, or are you undecided?
The result? Scott McAdams surging ahead of Joe Miller with 29 percent, Joe Miller with 23 percent, and the write-in candidate (most of which are presumably Lisa Murkowski) with a small gain bringing her to 34 percent, and undecided voters still at 13 percent. This is the first time that McAdams has polled better than Miller, and he did it by six points, comfortably outside the margin of error of 4.8 percent -- a watershed moment for the McAdams campaign.
More news from that race: the Alaska Supreme Court has ruled that voters can be shown the list of certified write-in candidates (which includes Murkowski) if the voter says they need help and ask to be shown the list.
I question the accuracy of the poll. Though with the supreme court ruling, it'll make Lisa's chance MUCH better. (Basically blocking that was just, IMO, a tactic by Miller and McAdams campaigns to prevent people who already plan on voting for her from gettijng clarification how to spell her name.)
Anywho, I'd have to see more polls on this. I really doubt McAdams has jumped that much. Also, it's important to note that Murkowski having a high "I'll write her in" rate doesn't necassarily directly translate to votes, the person has to rememeber to fill in the oval as well as right in her name, AND spell it correctly. (And put her first name on there to.)
I'm pretty sure this is going to boil down to Murkowski just having too many invalid votes.
I was just browsing fivethirtyeight and came across a post explaining just how different the results of the elections can be in regards to small errors in the forcasting/polling numbers.
Our projection says that Republicans are favorites in 231 House races, which would reflect a net gain of 52 seats.
But suppose that our forecast is biased against the Democrats by one point across the country as a whole, perhaps because pollsters are overestimating the enthusiasm gap very slightly. Just one point. Well, there are 6 seats in which we have the Republican candidate projected to win by less than 1 full point (it might be a very long election night, by the way). If Democrats hold those 6 seats, the projected Republican gains would be down to 46.
Now suppose that the forecast understates Democratic support by 2 points. There are 8 seats in which we project the Republican candidate to win by a margin of between 1 and 2 points; now these would also be wiped off the board. Now the Republican gains would be reduced to just 38 seats — and the Democrats would hold the House, 218-217!
Read that again: it means that if our forecasts turn out to be biased against Democrats by just 2 points overall, the party becomes about an even-money bet to hold the House.
Now move in the other direction. Say that we’ve underestimated Republicans’ margin by 1 point across the board. There are 8 seats that we’re currently projecting Democrats to hold by less than 1 point. Give those 8 seats to Republicans, and the gains tally grows to 60.
And if the forecast is biased against Republicans by 2 points? Another 5 seats, bringing their total to 65.
We can extend this analysis as much as we want: if the forecasts lowball Republicans by 5 points overall, for instance, we’d expect them to win about 75 seats; a 5-point bias against Democrats, on the other hand, trims their losses to just 22.

The best story I've ever heard about dicking over a credible write-in candidate was back in 2006 in TX-22, Tom DeLay's old district. Because DeLay had already won the Republican primary that year before he resigned from Congress, the Republicans had to run the incumbent (Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, who won the special election to replace DeLay) as a write-in candidate. Rather than going the Miller route of never mentioning the write-in candidate, Democrat Nick Lampson sent out dozens of mail pieces covered front and back with his opponent's name.

Oh for the love of fuck.
They don't explode. It's just a glass cylinder that breaks and leaks on to the item. That doesn't qualify as a boobytrap.
