- Still in after multiple shopping outings to major retailers. I'm amazed I'm still in. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 12, 11:11 2
  - I've managed to avoid retail stores, but my daily Starbucks habit could take me out any day now. -- nm - ReluctantYuleLog Dec 12, 11:12

  - If you were looking to switch safehouses to avoid meg's wrath, now would be the time. -- nm - TWuG Dec 12, 11:08

RC, what do you think of Elizabeth Warren's chances? -- nm - David Dec 12, 10:10 35
- Right now, I personally think she has a good shot at the nomination and a fair chance of being elected President if she ran. - ReluctantCynic Dec 12, 10:19 33
  - One additional thought ... - ReluctantCynic Dec 12, 10:35
  - I agree with you on Clinton. I think she is further to the right than Obama on a lot of issues - amoxy Dec 12, 10:24 17
    - I think what attracted a lot of people to her is that she is a political fighter. If you chose to fight then you need to accept that sometimes you - TWuG Dec 12, 10:29 15

        A much different Congress that didn't oppose their own ideas simply to deny the president credit. - TWuG Dec 12, 10:40 12
        
        [deleted] 10

        cause fuck you that's why! -- nm - Congress Dec 12, 10:57 6
        
        Pretty much. And more than a tiny bit of "no way does a black guy get to dictate terms". -- nm - TWuG Dec 12, 11:07 5
        
        Partly that and partly "holy crap, they managed to get a black guy elected. We better put a stop to this kind of thing at all costs." -- nm - pmb Dec 12, 11:24 4
        
        And as I think about it more, probably a fair amount of "this guy got elected on a platform of bridging party lines and uniting people, therefore we - pmb Dec 12, 11:26 3

        You even had guys Like McConnel openly say that their no.1 legislative priority was making Obama a 1 term president. - pmb Dec 12, 11:34
        
        More: You just had the GOP win on a platform and history of obstruction, so there's zero chance that platform changes. -- nm - TWuG Dec 12, 10:45

        Yes, well put. -- nm - amoxy Dec 12, 10:30
    - I actually think the 2012 election was great for this. The fact that it didn't happened in 2014 reflects how apathetic people are to mid-terms. -- nm - David Dec 12, 10:25 2
