John Adams

I used it last year too. Almost never a pause except for last year game one. If you're getting buffering, it's our connection speed.

I had no issues. Not a single pause. It's your connection. Definitely, by the way, don't try to stream wirelessly. That will kill your video quality. My quality is almost HD, and definitely better than standarrd def.

Some electoral college voter resigns and you think it's a Wow moment? Who gives a crap? Those people perform a robotic function.

And go back to the electoral map post a few above. Which states? Seriously. I want Romney but it looks bleak.

Assume all the red and pink states on this map go to Romney. What states on this map that are gray do you predict will go to Romney? And what states that are Blue do you think will go to Romney. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/2012_elections_electoral_college_map.html I ask because this is the question Romney has to ask himself. Obama has such an easy path. He could beat Romney worse than he beat McCain.

Have you seen an electoral map recently? It's shifting from uphill battle to upcliff battle for Romney. Still a chance but it's dwindling. That's why the Romney campaign is starting to go negative and appeal more to his base. Might be his only hope.

And we're still talking about the football at Penn State. Bravo.

Woodward will be interviewed on Sirius/XM's POTUS station this afternoon between 12-3 on the show, Press Pool. It's channel 124. That station is by far my favorite politics talk station. They are balanced, and although that makes for less arguing, it is nice to hear both sides. The hosts aren't as entertaining as Limbaugh/Hannity but the content is much better. Another interesting radio listen today might be Michael Lewis on Fresh Air. [Looking that up, maybe that's not today.] Lewis spent 6 months with Obama in the last year. He is the author of Liar's Poker, Moneyball, The Blind Side, and The Big Short.

The president of the Unites States should step into negotiations between a teachers union and a US city? WTF?

He's got a huge war chest. Hope he puts it to work.

Thank you for having the guts to make a prediction--most people here don't. We all know that the only poll that matters is in November but it's good to go out there and make your best call.. I hope you're right on all counts but I think Barry smokes Romney. I predict that Romney loses Michigan, Florida, Ohio, and Virginia, and loses in the electoral college by a wide margin. If Romney wins though, I hope he's not going to be as hard-line on fixing the debt as he keeps saying. Cutting the military budget must be part of cost cut discussion. And realistically, so should a tax increase--just to get the Dems to the table. The majority of budget reduction should be reducing spending but if the Dems won't even talk unless there's a tax increase on the table, put it on the table. It's better to get an imperfect plan passed than no plan (ie the Boehner/Obama way).

I still can't get over Mitt's--I'll reach across the aisle as long as I don't have to raise taxes or cut anything from defense. That's like the Dems saying they'll reach across the aisle as long as they don't have to cut social security or medicaid. All the while, Rome burns. That's why the fact that Boehner and Obama couldn't get the debt deal done should put them both out of a job.

Who do you think will win, and do you think it will be close or not?

This is still about the football team? And you wonder why suspending the program was needed?

Anyways, back to the relevant discussion NJSue... I never switched to Romney. I am going to vote for him. Never switched. And as for Obama reaching across, I doubt it. He's a divisive douche and as a result, we have this ****ty economy. Just pointing out that I'm not convinced Romney is saying the right things on this right now about reaching across the aisle when he talks up two debt reduction deal poison pills.

Do you not know how to google a quote? Do you doubt he said those things? I'd love to be wrong but he's been clear and getting clearer all week on both points.

Romney: "Now there’s only one place -- there’s only one place this president’s willing to cut, and not just a little. He wants to cut a trillion dollars out of our military budget, Look, that’s bad for jobs and it’s bad for our national security. The world is not a safer place right now, not with Iran trying to become nuclear, dangers throughout the world. If I’m president and Paul Ryan’s vice president we will not cut our military budget." ““I’m bringing down the rate of taxation, but also bringing down deductions and exemptions at the high end, so the [tax] revenues stay the same, the taxes people pay stay the same. Middle income people are going to get a break,”

Romney said this weekend that he will reach across the aisle...as long as the debt plan has no tax increases or defense cuts. Thanks for further alienating independent voters Mitt.

Well, time to go to the gym.

Refs fine today in two games I'm watching. Striking refs may want to stfu and get back to work.

And linebackers.

How about a D line, special teams, and secondary?

At least at this rate, I may get my Sundays back early.

Fumble.

Yup. Especially ligament.
