Today I'm wearing sneakers for the first time since Aug 8 !! I still think Crocs are more comfortable :) -- nm - Meg Sep 17, 10:09 1
- I'm considering getting a pair of downstairs crocs. Slipping on runners just wears them out faster :-/ -- nm* - Beryllium Sep 17, 10:10
So how are those Democratic primary debates going? - Strongbad Sep 17, 10:03 19
- When they do start, I'll be interested to see the ratings comparison. - ML Sep 17, 10:42 6
  - It'll be low-side of the 2008 stuff is my guess. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 17, 10:46
  - Given the lack of intrigue, I wouldn't expect even respectable ratings. -- nm - David Sep 17, 10:44 4
    - This - completely. -- nm - MDH Sep 17, 10:56
    - More Dems will have watched the GOP debates than will watch the ones for their own party -- nm - prayformojo Sep 17, 10:47
    - The Bernie backers will be watching in full force! -- nm - spamlet Sep 17, 10:47
    - ... what lack of intrigue? -- nm - Joe Biden si Sep 17, 10:45
- Time it's all said and done, there'll be 1.2 debates to candidates...the GOP will be .75 per candidate - Will Hunting Sep 17, 10:36
- *shakes fist* -- nm - Martin O'Malley Sep 17, 10:22
- I think the Democratic candidates understand the calendar better than the Republican candidates. - ReluctantCynic Sep 17, 10:11 7
  - Well, 1 of them obviously does. I don't think the others would agree. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 17, 10:26
  - In 2007 the Dems had 8 debates by this time. (Though I am thankful for them not drawing out this year) -- nm - Roger More Sep 17, 10:21 5
    - And those debates started way too early as well. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 17, 10:57 1
      - Hey, I'm north of the border so you're preaching to the converted. Canadians freaked out at a campaign that lasts a whole 11 weeks! - Roger More Sep 17, 11:02
    - Is this a typical trend of incumbent vs challenging party? -- nm - psilotum Sep 17, 10:34 2
      - I don't think it's so much that as just a function of how crowded the field is. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 10:42
      - That was my theory too, but haven't researched it. -- nm - mara Sep 17, 10:39
- There's 6 of them, so they don't start for a little. -- nm - MDH Sep 17, 10:07
- About the same as Green Bay's battle to be QB1. -- nm - David Sep 17, 10:05
Corgi Update - ceregon Sep 17, 10:01 10
- Sounds like you gave one Corgi a great life, and now you are giving two great lives. Twice as good. -- nm - Spawn Sep 17, 10:54
- sorry to hear about Bobby, glad to hear things are going well with the new guys. -- (edited) - kelly Sep 17, 10:15
- Sorry to hear about bobby, but it's nice of you to stop by :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 10:09

- Son of a .... - Pippy with chopsticks Sep 17, 09:55
- It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out. Some pretty big (powerful) VC companies have huge amounts invested in DK and FD -- nm - decline Sep 17, 09:50 1
  - I have a good friend who writes for FD. He and his wife have a little one and I really hope he can keep this job. -- nm* - Diva Sep 17, 09:57
heh -- (link) - Spawn Sep 17, 09:44
I will admit, I am benching Peyton Manning for Carson Palmer. -- nm - Spawn Sep 17, 09:40 10
- i benched him for matt ryan. which means Peyton will probably throw for like 6 tds and 800 yds tonight. - Truman Sep 17, 10:37
- I'm benching Roethlisberger for Matt Ryan. - ReluctantCynic Sep 17, 10:12 3
  - Enjoying my old QBs? -- nm - iSpam Sep 17, 10:17
  - I probably would too. - ML Sep 17, 10:13 1
    - That was my thinking, too. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 17, 10:57
- I'm benching Romo for Palmer this week. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 17, 09:59 2
  - *whew* -- (edited) - ML Sep 17, 10:01 1
    - I have 3 days to change my mind, but Romo without Dez scares me. - Strongbad Sep 17, 10:29
- Legit, if Manning bombs out tonight he's a potential drop in some dynasty leagues. - ML Sep 17, 09:43 1
  - Short week. I will hold him one more week if he does, but yeah. -- nm - Spawn Sep 17, 09:45
"CNN's GOP prime-time debate had 22.9 million viewers, making it the most watched program in CNN history" -- nm - ML Sep 17, 09:39 33
- pfft...wait until I turn up -- nm - MH370 Sep 17, 09:47
- I missed most of the debate. What is the general consensus of who did well and who bombed? -- nm - pmb Sep 17, 09:44 29
  - Crushed it -- nm - Jeb! Sep 17, 09:50
  - Everyone agrees Fiorina did well. Most think Christie did well. Walker and Paul are viewed as losers for the most part. - ML Sep 17, 09:47 17
    - And the consensus I've seen adds that Rubio was solid, but not great. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 09:53 10
      - Yup. He's done fine both debates, but hasn't broken out. - ML Sep 17, 09:54 9
        
        He's the Survivor contest that's just trying to lay low and not screw up for now. -- nm - iSpam Sep 17, 10:18 1
        
        So, he's the Steve. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 17, 10:27
        
        No one's saying much about Jeb (that I've seen) - was he there? -- nm - Diva Sep 17, 10:12 2
        
        He's currently cast in the role of trying to wrestle Trump down, so even when he succeeds he winds up muddy. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 10:14 1
        
        And he's not that good a rangler. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 10:37
        
        While I disagree with him on most everything, he comes off as being one of the few grown ups in the room. -- nm - pmb Sep 17, 10:02 1
        
        It's relative though. In a room full of actual adults he comes off as a brat. -- nm - Max Sep 17, 10:05
        
        Whoever winds up taking Trump down is probably going to have to sacrifice their own campaign as well, and Rubio's happy to let others throw themselves in front of that bullet for now. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 09:57 1
        
        first Perry, who officially quit, then Jindahl who is just there for the networking, have taken parting shots -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 17, 11:04
    - Man I'm terrible at predicting elections. I thought it was going to be Tsongas, I thought it was going to be Bradley, I predicted Scott Walker - Max Sep 17, 09:53 5
      - Walker was positioned to mirror Bush 43, but he looks more like Pawlenty at this point. - ML Sep 17, 10:11 4
        
        Whoever told him to run as Huckabee without the personality should never be allowed to work in politics again. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 10:12 3
        
        He also confused nuanced positions with having multiple positions on teh same issue. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 10:40 2
        
        There are hints out there that his campaign manager may be on the outs, and right quick. -- nm - ML Sep 17, 10:42 1
        
        Makes sense, cuz it's never the candidate's fault. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 17, 10:47
  - Carly did well by everything I've seen. Walker seems to have been a non-factor. Rand was weak. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 09:45 9
    - I can't believe the two medical doctors chose to pander on vaccines... -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 09:48 8
      - Particularly since anti-vaxxers are not necessarily conservative. -- nm - mara Sep 17, 10:18 3
        
        Well, there are really 2 brands of anti-vaxxers. The ones who think it causes autism are more liberal, but there's a libertarian brand... - Ender Sep 17, 10:23 2
        
        Yeah this is one of those places where the crazies on each side bend towards each other. -- nm - iSpam Sep 17, 10:28
        
        is it to late to get that wall built between Canada and the US? You guys keep polio all to yourselves -- nm - Beaker Sep 17, 10:25
      - *raises an eyebrow* - znufrii Sep 17, 09:51
      - That's disappointing, but I'm glad no one other than Trump went full Jenny McCarthy on it. Edit: IM -- (edited) - ML Sep 17, 09:51
      - I can. There's no courage in modern politics. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 17, 09:49 1
        
        this. -- nm - spamlet Sep 17, 09:52
- "But where is the missing candidate?" -- nm - CNN Breaking News Sep 17, 09:41 1
  - *calls Scott Walker's campaign lead* - Will Hunting Sep 17, 09:42
Big Brother spoils - Peglegpete Sep 17, 09:38 3
- I absolutely hate Vanessa, but if she gets to the Final 2 she deserves to win. She's had this whole house wrapped around her finger. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 09:39 2
  - my spoilery thoughts - Peglegpete Sep 17, 10:08
  - This. But sometimes the spiteful jury goes with the less deserving HG. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 17, 10:00
