Man, I watch a lot of college football and I'm amazed at how few "top 50 NFL prospects" I know. -- (link) - volnelk Nov 9, 10:51 3
- Two words... - Stephen, No. 3 with a bullet! Nov 9, 11:01
- Try to catch a UNC game before the end of the season. Gio Bernard is fun to watch. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 9, 10:53

I'm surprised that Mark Warner hasn't really gotten much mention as a possible for 2016 -- nm - prayformoJaws Nov 9, 10:43 25
- There's a real chance he's heading out the door to go back to the VA Governorship. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 10:49

  - I love her but she is absolutely not viable to the general electorate. - ThunderProfit Nov 9, 11:00

    - her campaign was fine. - ThunderProfit Nov 9, 11:04
    - She's 71 in 2020. If she is going to run, it will be 2016. -- nm - David Nov 9, 10:50 4
      - Which is why I don't think she's ever a candidate. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 10:57
      - I think we're done seeing Boomers as Presidential candidates. -- nm - Tim Nov 9, 10:53 1

      - it would surprise me if she ran at all. -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 10:53
  - I see her or Kirsten Gillibrand as a legit VP candidate. -- nm - Tim Nov 9, 10:47
  - I love her too, but unless she asserts herself as the most powerful Senator ever, she has no chance at Pres in 2016. - MDH Nov 9, 10:47 5
    - I don't get the sense that she has anywhere near that level of ambition. - znufrii Nov 9, 10:58
    - Amidala! -- nm - The Fiscal Cliff Nov 9, 10:48
    - [deleted] 2
      - Doesn't matter. She's VP contender at best, and in reality she's just going to help other races. She's not a figurehead. -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 10:49
      - Because he had that moment in 2003. -- nm - The Fiscal Cliff Nov 9, 10:48

  - He's friends with the guys. It's not just Sheldon hating him and trying to get even. - Krusty Nov 9, 10:46 7
    - agreed, he was decent on the show last night. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 10:47 6
      - I thought it was less funny than his previous episodes. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 9, 10:49

  - he spent last night memeing #sheldonvomit -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 10:41
WA state just finished counting same sex marriage ballots - zork Nov 9, 10:39 2
- Interesting process, since the State Legislature passed a bill . . . - Old Antarctic Explorer Nov 9, 10:50 1
  - they were pretty much counting on the fact that previously gay marriage usually gets voted down like in CA -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 9, 11:10

      - This is L. A. -- nm - The Fiscal Cliff Nov 9, 10:21 5
        
        The Heat signed those guys, then started 9-8. Then went 49-16 the rest of the way, lost in the Finals, then won the whole thing. Takes time to mesh. -- nm - volnelk Nov 9, 10:26 4

        err, deep breath. - zork Nov 9, 10:29 1
        
        Oh, I don't really care. I just think it was a dumb move. Kobe has too much power there. -- nm - volnelk Nov 9, 10:32
