I'll take the penalty. Cut and pasting the questions like that made it easier for me to answer with the question right there.
I'll save my ranting for the Q1 discussion.

So, are you going to be checking out the news conferences or what? With this game and E3, how can I be expected to get any work done today?

I don't know how much easier and obvious this question could be. Inalienable was in quotes.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Note that there are unalienable rights besides the 3 explicitly mentioned - probably an infinite number.

Just tell me this, would Nebraska have been a correct answer for both? I was very tempted.

I asked for clarification ahead of time. Didn't get a response. If he asked for one of the 3 explicit rights mentioned in the DoI, then of course, I would have answered one of those 3. Then on top of it, to put quotes around "Inalienable" in the question (to suggest the DoI) when the word is really 'unalienable,' makes it all the worse.

NE is right for McCain, wrong for Obama. McCain won the 2 state-wide electoral votes available under the CDM.

Thankfully, Nebraska was not an answer anyone gave.
On the other hand...
