- I thought it was interesting that Lindsey Graham threw him under the bus so quickly. He could still be his party's nominee. - pmb Jan 10, 13:04 8
  - Remember, many arch-conservatives think he's too liberal in the first place. Of course they'd want him under the bus. -- nm - Ender Jan 10, 13:07 7
    - I get that, but a) I don't tend to think of Graham as that level of arch-conservative, and b) it seems early in the process to pile on. -- nm - pmb Jan 10, 13:12 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        Yup. -- nm - David Jan 10, 13:16

      - It will take time to sort itself out. -- nm - pmb Jan 10, 13:13
  - meanwhile, the Tobacco giants have been waiting for this for decades. I am sure they are gonna come in when legal pot is more nationally accepted -- nm - peglegpete Jan 10, 13:07
- ah ...do you smell that? it's the fragrance of capitalism at work ... -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 10, 12:59

- Ouch, I'll stick with Blue Sky, thank you. -- nm - Was Bar Was, Vampirates Primogen Jan 10, 12:51
- That's still a good price. :-) The shortage should have been expected. -- nm - Krusty Jan 10, 12:50 1

        There really was one medication that made Calvin a zombie. - David Jan 10, 12:55 2
