  - I thought Lincoln was inside in the statue. - Loyola Apr 13, 10:01 2
    - iirc the fear was that if zombies ever reanimated he'd be too tough to take down if he was inside the statue -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 10:02 1
      - That is a good point. -- nm - Loyola Apr 13, 10:03

is there any other movie, besides Live, Die, Repeat, where the tag line becomes the name and nobody remembers the actual name of the movie -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the dark galaxy Apr 13, 09:38 7
- wasn't the original title of Dodgeball "Underdogs"? but no-one called it that, and the dvd title etc was "Dodgeball." ? -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 10:04
- So I take it "Live Die Repeat" is another thing I thought was ST-specific but is not ST specific? -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 09:50

ST poll: odds of GOP repealing the 22nd Amendment just to let Obama and Bill run again against Hillary. #StopHillary!!!! -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 13, 09:29
I will say that if the general election ends up Clinton vs. Bush, somebody goes "f*ck that noise" and mounts a serious third party campaign. - Tim Apr 13, 09:28 23

    - The business people driving the bus are going to weed out the crazies this time. So, Bush is going to get the financing. - David Apr 13, 09:40 1
      - [deleted]

        Agreed -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 09:44
        
        There are always third party candidates. Today's hyperpartisanship kills any chance they have for traction. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 09:42 1
        
        We're not that far away from Ross Perot, and the crazies hate the bankers and vice versa. -- nm - David Apr 13, 09:52
      - Yeah, I'd give the odds of it actually happening at about 5% and that's probaby too optimistic. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 13, 09:41
      - [deleted]
  - I also don't think (I would hope) that the left would be stupid enough to support a third party candidate with a fully republican congress. -- nm - pmb Apr 13, 09:33

Hypothetical; Knowing what you know now, if you could go back in time and had a choice between Obama and Hillary, who would you pick? -- nm - Loyola Apr 13, 09:17 15
- Obama came in all starry eyed as a junior senator and tried to be Mr everyman reach across the political center, Hillary knows how entrenched the - zeitgeist Apr 13, 10:13
- Even though she's a better candidate today, I'm still not a Hillary fan. I -- nm - David Apr 13, 09:56 1

- Obama -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 09:27
- Same as 2008. Obama. -- nm - pmb Apr 13, 09:26
- Sames as 2008: Obama. The GOP would have been no less obstructive with her. - TWuG Apr 13, 09:26
- Same as 2008: Obama. Hillary would never have gotten the ACA (or anything like it) through. - spamlet Apr 13, 09:24 3
  - she is in DEEP with the health insurance companies - so ...yeah... -- nm - Epiphany Apr 13, 09:35 2

That 538 article focuses on Hillary obviously, but the chart amuses me. - Tim Apr 13, 09:16 1
- Yeah, I think Hillary's unfavorables are at their peak. The GOP has veen running against her - TWuG Apr 13, 09:22
