DML: Should I go to Pizza Hut for lunch and get some buffet pizza, or just eat the ham sandwich I brought? -- nm - sycor Sep 18, 08:37 7
- "or"? -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 08:40 1

This never happens, right? Bill Kristol: "unless [Romney] chooses to step down and we get the Ryan-Rubio ticket we deserve" -- (link) - ty97 Sep 18, 08:30 7
- and when that ticket fails, they'll still find something else to blame it on other than the flaws inherent in their ideology. -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 09:00 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 09:02
- Who's "we." No one deserves that ticket. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 08:58
- If it happened (0.01% chance) Obama would walk to victory. Shit, these guys won't cut loose VPs who are inept for the PR impact; how in the hell - Will Hunting Sep 18, 08:56
- Well, deserve is right, -- nm - Roger More Sep 18, 08:39
- That would be panic fire at this point. -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 08:33

Is this inelegant too? "We, we uh, we use Ann sparingly right now, so that people don't get tired of her." - Mitt Romney -- (link) - MDH Sep 18, 08:24 [youtube] 13
- Are we supposed to be blindly hating on him "using" her, or on him thinking people would get tired of her? -- nm - Ender Sep 18, 08:37 4
  - to be honest, I hadn't even considered the second possible meaning. Thanks! -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 08:37 3
    - That's actually the first thing I thought. Not that anyone of us should give a shit...but suggesting people would get tired of her - Jim Sep 18, 08:41 2
      - Same + it's admitting that she doesn't appeal to every voter that the Republicans are trying to win. - Roger More Sep 18, 08:46
      - This is what I was implying posting this. -- nm - MDH Sep 18, 08:45
- She needs a makeover, similar to what they did with Michelle four years ago. - Spawn Sep 18, 08:32
- That's a useless quote. - Will Hunting Sep 18, 08:25 6
  - I guess, why would he say that? -- nm - amoxy Sep 18, 08:48
  - Yup -- nm - ty97 Sep 18, 08:41
  - [deleted]
  - I'm not upset by this, and yes, it's their job. You just don't say stuff like this out loud is my point. -- nm - MDH Sep 18, 08:28
  - You have to admit though, that's a tacky thing to say about your own wife -- nm - prayformojo Sep 18, 08:28 1
    - I don't get that at all. -- nm - Roger Clemens Sep 18, 08:36
Of the names being thrown out there for 2016 for the Republicans that would be appealing to me if I had a vote, it's - Reagen Sep 18, 08:23 31
- Huntsman is what Romney should be. -- nm - Inigo Sep 18, 08:42
- no Jeb Bush? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 18, 08:30 12
  - No. More. Bushes. -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 08:31 11
    - You should still figure him into the mix. And he'd do *well*. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 18, 09:01
    - Republicans have won the presidency only once since 1928 without a Bush on the ticket. (So yay Nixon!) -- nm - mara Sep 18, 08:41 6

      - [deleted] 4
        
        Yup, I got that wrong -- "without a Bush or a Nixon on the ticket" is how it should go. -- nm - mara Sep 18, 08:43 3

  - indifferent to gay marriage and pro-UHC? Are you sure he'd be a Republican? -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 08:28 5
    - He sounds a bit like a former Governor of Massachusetts. -- nm - ty97 Sep 18, 08:31 2
      - heh -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 08:32
      - but slightly less huggable. -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 08:31
    - I think he could skate by that on his oil and gas record and slashing of Govt -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 08:29 1
      - plus I think he plays the hand he is dealt. He knows if he goes too right he's in trouble - Beaker Sep 18, 08:30

  - THIS. And let's get serious, we all know that Christie isn't getting elected. He's too out of shape. You know it's true, and you've all thought it. -- nm - MDH Sep 18, 08:25 6
    - No question in my mind Christie starts losing tons of weight once 2016 is really open to him (ie Romney losing) -- nm - Jovian Sep 18, 08:38 3
      - this is funny some. -- nm - amanda Sep 18, 08:39 2
        
        lol it is true though. It'll play SO well for him politically if he gets into shape. - Jovian Sep 18, 08:47

- Thanks, NASCAR dudes -- nm - prayformojo Sep 18, 08:26

- Here are a couple of hindsight trades involving Yunel: - David Sep 18, 08:27 [Backboard] 10
  - I'd make that trade again in a heartbeat. Bridged the team over to Hechavaria. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 18, 10:03
  - Weren't you calling Frenchy an albatross? -- nm - nubby Sep 18, 09:30
  - There is also this gem: ""(Yunel's) antics in the Minors basically led Jeff Blauser to decide he no longer wanted to pursue a coaching career." -- nm - David Sep 18, 08:30 7
    - you know, it is not even like this is Jeff Kent or Barry Bonds acting like this.... - groinzerker Sep 18, 08:34 6
      - Right, we're talking about a guy with an OPS of .642 this year. - David Sep 18, 08:36 5
        
        as someone who played a LOT of baseball over the years..... - groinzerker Sep 18, 08:38 4
        
        Your mention of Jeff Kent was perfect in this regard. - David Sep 18, 08:39 3
        
        former MLB RP Lou Pote pitched in the summer league I played in.... - groinzerker Sep 18, 08:47 2

        no. - groinzerker Sep 18, 08:50
- Yunel is notoriously dickish. He knew. -- nm - nubby Sep 18, 08:17 4
  - Yeah, he's a total ass hat. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 18, 08:24

      - I haven't actually. :) - znufrii Sep 18, 08:29
- I can give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't mean anything by it. - znufrii Sep 18, 08:15 6
  - [deleted] 1
    - *waves goodbye to his benefit of the doubt as it flies out the window* -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 08:28
  - trash talk to who? It's not football or hockey where players are right on top of each other. His own team would see it more -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 08:16 3
    - it doesn't have to be heard or seen by the other team to be an effective personal motivator. -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 08:18 2
      - then he is an idiot and should have worn it on his underwear. -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 08:23 1
