  1. You are correct , this is what I meant by tip the scale: Unequal voting power depending on where you live The Electoral College gives disproportionate voting power to states, favoring the smaller states with more electoral votes per person. For instance, each individual vote in Wyoming counts nearly four times as much in the Electoral College as each individual vote in Texas. This is because Wyoming has three (3) electoral votes for a population of 532,668 citizens (as of 2008 Census Bureau estimates) and Texas has thirty-two (32) electoral votes for a population of almost 25 million. By dividing the population by electoral votes, we can see that Wyoming has one "elector" for every 177,556 people and Texas has one "elector" for about every 715,499. The difference between these two states of 537,943 is the largest in the Electoral College. http://www.fairvote.org/problems_with_the_electoral_college 2000 Pres race Florida vote 2,912,790 Bush won all 25 Electoral votes 2,912,253 Gore 0 Electoral votes
  2. Sat July 2 qualifying men's long jump Oregon , Hayward Field Sun July 3 final http://www.usatf.org/Events---Calendar/2016/U-S--Olympic-Team-Trials---Track---Field/schedule.aspx
  3. Super delegates and electoral college can tip the scales as we have learned.
  4. Republican voters have spoken loud and clear this primary race.
  5. I would be more concerned with getting a healthy Henderson back Don't rush Sammy back to soon either if it is like the Dez Bryant injury. http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/dallas-cowboys-dez-bryant-admits-he-came-back-too-soon-from-injury-012616 I think the team needs 1 more good draft to win in the playoffs anyway JMO
  6. Poll on wgr550 today on location
  7. Ex-Secret Service officer breaks silence on the 'real Hillary Clinton' Author and former Secret Service Officer Gary J. Byrne recalls being "posted directly outside President Clinton's Oval Office" and claims to have witnessed the personal and political dysfunction of the Clinton White House first hand. Within the forthcoming book, Byrne states that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton "lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office." Through the release of this book Byrne hopes the timing, coming months before the 2016 presidential election, will give voters a chance to learn about what he calls "real Hillary Clinton." Byrne also alleges in the introduction to have been involved in covering up President Clinton's adulteries, claiming he "even secretly disposed of sordid physical evidence that might later have been used to convict the president." http://www.aol.com/article/2016/06/06/ex-secret-service-officer-breaks-science-on-the-real-hillary-cl/21389788/
  8. The 2 minute drill is fine , but if you do 3 and out too often it will tire out your defense in no time. It is a good strategy against the Bill's complex D with substitutions.
  9. “I didn’t see the interview, but I do know this: I’ll forever and always have a lot of love for Rob Ryan, just because there’s nobody that’s going to shoot you straighter,” Hicks said. “He’s going to tell you how it is, he’s going to tell you how he feels, and you’re always going to understand his perspective on things, and I feel like that was taken away.” We really needed that ray of hope for Rob , just get those plays in on time .
  10. Major renovation to the old Citrus Bowl looks very good. Sunday 8 PM 29 Jan AFC vs NFC NFL moving Dolphins-Falcons preseason game to Orlando also http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/06/01/nfl-moving-dolphins-falcons-preseason-game-to-orlando-also/
  11. At least have them pay income tax while they are here would help. Without a wall , can't blame them for seeking a better life . Build a wall and effective patrol to screen and allow workers that are really needed here.
  12. I don't see how a genius, highly respected theoretical physicist could be a loser ? I don't like Trump or Clinton . I would have voted for Kasich or Bush before either of them. Republican voters blew a golden opportunity to have the White House , Congress and Supreme Court.
  13. I think $12M is very fair if the Jets add incentives for each playoff win. This is the best offense Fitz is given with Chan as OC , he should take it.
  14. Anyone who disagrees with Trump is a loser. Come on Dorkington try to keep up
  15. It could be a long recovery after that surgery to regain weight and get back in condition. I don't have confidence so far in Kujo because of his knee . A healthy Miller next to Mills might be ok till Henderson is ready. "He's going to be able to play football," Herman said. "There's no problem with his ability to lift weights, get into good shape, compete in training camp. All of that's in front of him." http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/15860209/seantrel-henderson-buffalo-bills-set-rejoin-team-2-operations
  16. Interesting interview I would not have heard , thanks for the link Tiberius. London (CNN)As one of the world's most renowned scientists, Stephen Hawking is regularly called on to help explain the universe's more mysterious phenomena. But asked to account for Donald Trump's political rise Tuesday, the British theoretical physicist was stumped. "I can't," Hawking told CNN affiliate ITV's "Good Morning Britain" program. "He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator." The Trump campaign did not immediately reply to a message requesting comment. http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/31/politics/stephen-hawking-donald-trump-demagogue/ demagogue : a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument.
  17. The Bills putting a muzzle on Astro is going too far
  18. Donald Trump supposedly told House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) he supports cutting Social Security but will not admit it publicly because it would hurt his election chances, according to a report in Bloomberg BusinessWeek http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-supports-cutting-social-security-report-says_us_5749db63e4b0dacf7ad515e4 http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-reince-priebus/ This gives Clinton and Democrats running for Congress a hot button issue to run on.
  19. That ticket will never happen , I still won't vote for Clinton or Trump.
  20. Looking at the Libertarian platform he will only take away votes from the Republican candidate. In a close election could make a big difference. 2000 Election Florida vote Bush 2,912,790 Gore 2,912,253 537 vote difference Nader 97,488 Electoral vote Bush 25 Gore 0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Florida,_2000
  21. I can't believe Fitz would turn down $12M at this point in his career. Chan , Marshall , Decker , Forte , that's the perfect storm for him to close out .
  22. As a Independent that would work for me. Warren is a young version of Bernie just more moderate. Kasich was the best qualified of the candidates that ran, still can't believe Republican voters chose Trump.
  23. Payton said this morning on PFT Live that the defense in New Orleans — which set an NFL record for the most touchdown passes allowed in a season — was Rob Ryan’s defense. Payton said the Saints’ defense repeatedly struggled with fundamentals like getting the right calls and the right players on the field. “When you’re struggling as bad as we’re struggling for two years, and some of the same problems keep coming up — you know, 10 guys on the field — those are things that just are hard to live with,” Payton said. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/05/27/sean-payton-rob-ryan-saying-it-wasnt-his-defense-is-silly/
  24. Schartz runs a simple D , Wade Phillips runs a simple D "I believe in being a multiple defense, an attacking defense, a physical defense. That’s no slight on Seattle by any stretch. They are a very physical defense; they play a very simple scheme and let their guys play." Rob convinced me it's better to run a simple scheme , I'am all in now
