  - We found it on Netflix and actually started watching Sunday afternoon. - Jim Sep 18, 07:26 3
    - I didn't realize it was on Netflix already. I queued it up. -- nm - spamlet Sep 18, 07:29 2
      - Yeah, it was added in the last couple weeks. We watched the last few episodes on it because I had recoreded them in SD and Netflix had them in HD - oblique Sep 18, 07:32
      - Yeah, we've been waiting for it to hit...must have just showed up recently. -- nm - Jim Sep 18, 07:31

- [deleted] 16
  - Some of the 47% he was speaking about might actually have voted for him, though. -- nm - Spawn Sep 18, 07:24 12
    - but that 47% shouldn't have been voting for him before this, don't you see? swearing - amanda Sep 18, 07:27 11
      - So they should ignore social issues and vote solely on economic ones? - spamlet Sep 18, 07:59 7
        
        my argument is that they are voting based *solely* on social issues. anyone who's going to be - amanda Sep 18, 08:03 4

        word to your second paragraph. (and also to its mother.) -- nm - amanda Sep 18, 08:04
      - Here is the deal. It's like Congress being 17% liked. It's always the OTHER congressmen, not MINE. Government benefits in the GOP are always, THOSE - Bacon Sep 18, 07:55

      - [deleted]
  - this is what makes me sad -- nm - oblique Sep 18, 07:24
  - I wouldn't be so sure of romney hitting 47 in the end. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 18, 07:23 1
    - [deleted]
- The beginning of the end, I hope. He claims he was inelegant, but I've never heard him be elegant. If he brings that to the debates - TWuG Sep 18, 07:21 22
  - Maybe, but W was as inelegant as you could get and people found him approachable as a result. -- nm - ty97 Sep 18, 07:23 17
    - well W never seemd to try and sound inteligent, almost the opposite made him much more "comfortable" on the surface - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 18, 07:31
    - Yeah, but W. was a "good old boy" who they'd feel comfortable sitting down and having a beer with. That's why they voted for him. - Kim Pine Sep 18, 07:28 15
      - This is a good point about W. - ty97 Sep 18, 07:33 14
        
        One person's opinion - Strongbad Sep 18, 07:35 13
        
        I think this election (and 2004) were both winnable in a way that, say, 1984 and 1996 were not. - Roger More Sep 18, 07:52
        
        I actually agree that this was never easy for any Republican candidate... - Kim Pine Sep 18, 07:43 11
        
        [deleted] 10
        
        What Republican candidates were likeable, in your opinion? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 08:00 6
        
        Huntsman. -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 08:08 2
        
        Yep. He's the one that I might have considered. But how does a Moderate get through the Primary. - Bacon Sep 18, 08:10 1
        
        And you finish #2 four years prior and have the most name recognition. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 08:26
        
        Exactly. -- nm - mara Sep 18, 08:05
        
        [deleted]
        
        there's the kicker -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 08:01
        
        agreed. - Mel Profit Sep 18, 07:53 2
        
        the fact that the GOP can't offer one is just ... -- nm - amanda Sep 18, 07:56 1
        
        Reagan wouldn't make it now. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 18, 07:59
  - Yeah, the debates will be when it's over. -- nm - nubby Sep 18, 07:22 3
    - but the red state people who only vote based on my right to control my own body and brian's right to marry joe don't care about the debates. - amanda Sep 18, 07:29 2
      - There actually are undecided people out there. - Spawn Sep 18, 07:49 1
        
        last night, at jz's he got a phone call on the house phone from the obama people. "are you voting for obama?" jz: "is there another candidate?" - amanda Sep 18, 07:53
- With this economy, there is no death knell short of him killing a puppy on live tv. - ty97 Sep 18, 07:21
No hard feelings after dog shoots huntsman in France -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 18, 07:17

- I'm quite happy with the 100 shares of GOOG that bought... - Old Antarctic Explorer Sep 18, 08:08
- Apple, they make something that people are beholden to. - Will Hunting Sep 18, 07:37 3
  - if apple could get ads into ios, my god, they'd be ... rich. (yeahhhhh.) -- nm - amanda Sep 18, 07:54 2
    - They try to do it with iAd (?) but it didn't work out that well. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 18, 07:57 1
      - it's close, I think. -- nm - amanda Sep 18, 08:05
- Depends on the time frame. Short term AAPL, long term GOOG -- nm - ceregon Sep 18, 07:36
- Apple. I'd tend to choose the company that makes something rather than the one that offers services - oblique Sep 18, 07:33
- never underestimate the power of PR.... Apple -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 18, 07:22
- Apple for me. -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 07:18
- For the long-term, Google. For the short-term, Apple. -- nm - ty97 Sep 18, 07:18 2
  - This also works. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 18, 07:19
  - this -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 07:18
- Definitely Apple. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 18, 07:17 1
