- Can they decide on someone not currently running? Will tha person even have time to get on enough state ballots to win? - TWuG Feb 13, 10:27 3
  - Getting on the ballot is only relevant in the primary. Once at the convention, delegates are only obligated to vote for their candidate to a point. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 10:32 1

- Christy want's this to be voted on by everyone. Don't be surprised if he vetoes it -- nm - decline Feb 13, 10:14 9
  - Oh he's said he will veto it. That's a given. Polls are showing NJ would vote in favor so if it gets put to vote, it may not be too bad. -- nm - MDH Feb 13, 10:15 8
    - The impressive thing is the 180 the legislature has done from 2 years ago (when similar legislature was shot down) -- nm - decline Feb 13, 10:17

      - I liked the other argument that people should be voting for rights. - Krusty Feb 13, 10:20 4
        
        I get that and push comes to shove I completely agree, but I think it's not a bad point to recognize that in terms of acceptance and moving past the - pmb Feb 13, 10:38
        
        The majority cannot be counted on to look out for minority rights. And really, why should I expect them to? -- nm - con_carne Feb 13, 10:25 1

So exactly who is the audience AMC was aiming for with that new Kevin Smith comic book show? The 3 or 4 dozens of comic book store owners nationwide? - Jovian Feb 13, 10:11 8
- and JenBro. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 10:13 1
  - :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 13, 11:01
- yeah, I could watch it at all. Seemed like they were aiming for a Pawn Stars type thing based on what I saw at the start -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 10:12 5
  - This is what the advertising led me to believe - enough so that I recorded it. - Beryllium Feb 13, 10:13
  - couldn't. -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 10:13 3

  - I quit Mint and went back to Quicken -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 10:31 1
    - Either way, we own you. -- nm - Intuit Feb 13, 10:35

    - Check to see how far back their records are. I believe Wells Fargo goes back 10 years - decline Feb 13, 10:15
    - can't your bank give you those? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 10:14

Remember that Stern video I linked ripping Bachmann/Santorum. She took shots at him in an e-mail, and he has set his sights on destroying her -- (link) - MDH Feb 13, 09:50 16
- To her credit, Stern slagged her and she responded. Now Stern says "Oh, it's on, Bitch!" You started it, Howie. -- nm - Mop Feb 13, 10:15 3
  - she should know better than to criticize a radio host, especially one like Stern who has no boundaries. - Reagen Feb 13, 10:18
  - I think she started it by being a hateful bitch, and he just called her out on that. -- nm - MDH Feb 13, 10:17 1
    - *ding* -- nm - Jovian Feb 13, 10:20
- She'll regret this. -- nm - David Feb 13, 10:07 11
  - i really don't think so. stern listeners aren't juggalos or /b/, they're older folks who grew up with him and now have families and kids. -- nm - colin Feb 13, 10:15 1
    - But on a related note... Big Money Rustlas coming soon to Netflix Streaming! -- nm - TFox Feb 13, 10:26
  - she sure will. Rick certainly wont be stirring up his nest. -- nm - Jovian Feb 13, 10:13

  - I don't think she has any idea what she's set herself up for. - Mel Profit Feb 13, 10:08
  - Especially when she can't go ten feet without someone going "Baba Booey Baba Booey!" at her. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 10:08 4
    - I'm sure her staff is dreading having to explain it to her. Not that it's particularly distasteful but it just won't make any sense. - Mel Profit Feb 13, 10:11 1
      - Baba Booey to you too! *they seem to really love me here* -- nm - Michelle Bachmann waving with plastic smile Feb 13, 10:14
    - She thinks he's like everyone else she does this with. He's not. -- nm - David Feb 13, 10:09 1
      - Now I'm not saying you should dump all your garbage on her doorstep...but it wouldn't hurt -- nm - Dr Johnny Fever Feb 13, 10:11
