MDH: Replying to one of your posts on a backboard (Cantor) - Strongbad Jun 11, 06:24 6
- Cantor was one of the most powerful Republicans. This shows the tea Party is a primary force, which sucks for the main GOP line. -- nm - MDH Jun 11, 06:57
- My quibble is that they've had to not only deal with the Tea Party before now, but accept that the Tea Party run things despite being the minority. -- nm - Inigo Jun 11, 06:45 2

    - This is sorta my hunch. Feels like a complacent incumbant coupled with bad practices from the pollster. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 11, 07:22

- Don't know why they don't throw that may more often its faster than a relay -- nm - Karl_S Jun 11, 05:12 3
  - Because 90% of the time that throw comes in 10 feet to the left or right or 2 seconds too late and just lets the trailing runner advance to third... -- nm - Ender Jun 11, 06:13
  - If you can make that throw, it would be faster. The vast majority of players cannot make that throw (not that far, not that velocity, not that - JD Jun 11, 05:16 1
    - the best throw I ever saw live was in a softball game. The King and his Court. Dude hit a bomb to center field, one of the Court - Beaker Jun 11, 05:24
