  1. These polls comparing the Democrats to McCain are useless until the general election starts and they're directly competing against each other in September. At this point in 1992 Ross Perot was beating Bush I, with Clinton in 3rd.
  2. I'm sure most of us would rather be doing that than what we're doing. He's not breaking any rules, it's the Army that changed the rules to allow it. If you don't like it, blame the Army, not the player. He said he heard from many fellow soldiers who thought it was great that he got the opportunity. The Bills just signed a FA fullback from Army that will have the same opportunity.
  3. 3EM6EPEK 3E M 6E PEK See My Sexy Pec ?
  4. The financing wasn't an issue, the DNC found donors who were willing to cover the cost. Michigan and Florida have primaries, not caucuses. To switch to a different method of voting would make no sense and would just serve to confuse the voters. And the state legislatures and governors were ready to support new primaries to be held in June, but wouldn't agree to do it unless all parties agreed. Hillary agreed, the DNC agreed, but Obama wouldn't agree, therefore it didn't go forward.
  5. So Obama only wants to have primaries in states that he has a chance to win? That's a new spin on democracy. I'm sure the voters in Florida and Michigan will flock towards that type of "change" in the general election. The delegates may be disregarded, but the superdelegates will look at the popular vote totals and unwillingness to revote as factors to support Hillary for the nomination.
  6. You have another reason why "Mr Personality" didn't want to have a chance to convince the older and blue collar workers of Michigan and Florida to vote for him? Other than his message doesn't deal with the meat and potato issues they're concerned with?
  7. My wife had it done a few years ago in Niagara Falls. It was uncomfortable to wear contacts, and it was getting to the point where she would need trifocals. She had no complications, but does have to wear generic reading glasses that you can buy at a drugstore for close up. I've thought about it, but I'm worried that I'd be the 5% that have some bad complications. I'd like to keep my eyesight until the Bills or Sabres win a championship.
  8. There was time to have a revote in June, but Obama wouldn't agree to it so the proposals couldn't go forward. Include the popular votes in Florida and Michigan, and Hillary is ahead by about 133,000. He didn't want a revote because he figured he would lose by a larger margin than what happened in the first votes.
  9. If you didn't tip the strippers so much you could afford the meal. I just realized I picked the same as you, without looking at your list beforehand.

  11. Spoken like a true Obama supporter. How can Clinton steal something that nobody has won? Obama hasn't reached 2025, and won't with pledged delegates. The rules don't say the person with the most pledged delegates wins, it's the one who gets 2025. Otherwise it's up to the candidates to convince the superdelegates that they're the best candidate. And don't whine about how it's disinfranchising the voters unless you're willing to count Florida and Michigan or let them revote, neither of which Obama was willing to do. Obama supporters just keep wishing Hillary would quit so Obama could be given the nomination before his rope-a-dope strategy fails. Sorry, but until somebody gets 2025, it has to be earned. Worry less about Hillary and more about how Obama is going to convince blue collar white voters that he better represents their interests.
  12. Aforementioned Stu Barnes, Phillppe Boucher (Dallas), Hasek (Detroit), Jillson (Colorado), Fitzpatrick (Philly), and Conklin (Pittsburgh).
  13. There weren't any tight ends rated high enough for even the Jets to pick.
  14. Jets - Vernon Gholston, (DE)
  15. Actually it's Julie Nixon Eisenhower who is supporting Obama. Patricia Nixon Cox is a strong supporter of McCain; her husband, Ed Cox, served as state chairman for his New York primary campaign.
  16. What do you have against Washington, a young, exciting team on the rise? I definitely want Washington and San Jose. That would set up a 2nd round of Montreal-Rangers, Pittsburgh-Washington, Detroit-Colorado, and San Jose-Dallas.
  17. I'm suprised Artie came back alive from Amsterdam. Any word on what he did there or if he fired his assistant?
  18. Condiments in the fridge, along with the bread, but keep the stick of butter out so it's soft to spread.
  19. With our luck the Patriots will get him for a 4th round draft pick.
  20. All the flaccid scenes?
  21. I guess that shoots down the theory that he used Ric Flair's theme song to get the wrestling crowd to buy tickets to the movie.
  22. The two games against the Pats, since you want to beat the best team in the division to have a chance of winning it, and the Cleveland Monday night game because the Bills need some positive national exposure and it's a team the Bills may be competing with for a wildcard.
  23. You would rather she took an extremist view of no gun restrictions or a total ban instead of a moderate position? That makes sense. And once again someone goes over the deep end comparing Hillary to Hitler. A legendary hatred of the military, based on what specifics?
  24. Clinton recently touted her experience with guns as a young child. "You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught me how to shoot when I was a little girl," Clinton said in Valparaiso, Indiana, on Saturday. "Some people now continue to teach their children and their grandchildren. It's part of culture. It's part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it's an important part of who they are. Not because they are bitter." Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group co-chaired by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, plans to spend more than $1 million to air a television ad beginning this week urging Congress to close a loophole by forcing buyers at gun shows to undergo a federal background check. The ad, which will air in Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona, Maryland and Florida, features clips from all three major presidential candidates. "I'll be on your side for closing the gun show loophole," Clinton says. "Crack down on them. Close the gun show loopholes," Obama says. And McCain adds, "Convicted criminals have been able to buy and sell thousands of guns at gun shows because of a loophole in the law. Close the loophole." "There is not a contradiction between protecting the Second Amendment rights of Americans and figuring out how we can keep, for example, assault weapons off the street," Clinton said on Saturday. Clinton has been a supporter of gun control during her time in office. She voted for a 10-year extension of the assault weapons ban and voted for requiring extensive background checks at gun shows. She also supports licensing and registration of handguns, mandatory trigger locks for handguns, holding adults responsible for their children's use of guns, raising the youth handgun ban from age 18 to 21, limiting gun sales to one per month and allowing the Consumer Products Safety Commission to regulate guns.
  25. Lieberman is the 2008 version of Zell Miller. I wouldn't be suprised if he speaks at the Republican convention. The sooner he's removed as chairman the better.
