- I will do my best sir. please call me out if I eff up. -- nm - Remlik Sep 19, 19:52
- And now that there's editing, it's an easy fix if you slip up or other people suggest it's spoilers even if you don't necessarily agree -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 19:45
Dano, I agree with you on Once. I liked parts of the performance itself but was underwhelmed by the story. - iSpam Sep 19, 19:34

Let's see...in 1988, Biden dropped out of the race after being caught plagarizing stuff. In 2008, he polled about 2%. - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:11 44
- oh, c'mon . . . he's bound to hit an uptick here before too long . . . -- nm - call me Ishmael Sep 19, 18:10
- VP is no longer the stepping stone to the presidency. - Tim Sep 19, 17:46 6
  - It can be, not as guaranteed now. -- nm - budice Sep 19, 17:56 5
    - 1 VP elected since 1837. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 18:09 3
      - How many VPs were the party nominees for the general election? -- nm - Max Sep 19, 18:39
      - HIT MY MUSIC! -- nm - George Sep 19, 18:10
      - So you're saying there is a chance -- nm - Bacon Sep 19, 18:09
    - But it also pretty much never was. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 18:00
- I wonder if Biden entering the race magnifies Bernie. I'd classify Biden with Clinton as 'established' politicians and Bernie as an Outsider. - Volnelk Sep 19, 17:34 4
  - Bernie is the Occupy Wall Street of candidates - jangles Sep 19, 17:36 2
    - He's an astroturf counter to the Tea Party? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 19, 17:58
    - Fake dreds under a tie-dye wool beret? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 17:45
  - Much like Ron Paul and Kucinich, the idea of Bernie is better than the reality. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:35
- And what about Quayle's and Palin's presidential campaigns? The one's before they were nominated for VP? -- nm* - tobor.2 Sep 19, 17:23 12
  - Quayle did in 2000 and tanked...and Palin found out she wouldn't be supported in the run up to 2012. - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:25 11
    - So not before they were nominated. So it isn't really a comparison. -- nm - tobor.2 Sep 19, 17:27 10
      - You lost me. You said if Biden was a bad candidate, he wouldn't have won VP. I gave you Quayle - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:31 1
        
        No, I said if he was as bad as jangles seemed to be saying Obama wouldn't have won. - tobor.2 Sep 20, 14:44
      - In other words you're backing my point. -- nm - tobor.2 Sep 19, 17:28 7
        
        Only if you are agreeing with Pixie and me that biden is a bad presidential campaigner. -- nm* - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:32 6
        
        Given Hillary's campaign thus far, are you arguing he'd be worse than she has been? - ML Sep 19, 17:43 5
        
        She'll barely even win POTUS! -- nm - David Sep 19, 17:51
        
        She's been mediocre but started with 65%...he's mediocre and wouldn't. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:50 2
        
        All I'm saying is that it takes a special kind of untalent to squander an uncontested race, and she's managed to do it. -- (edited) - ML Sep 19, 17:58 1
        
        by definition, once Sanders entered it stopped being uncontested - jangles Sep 19, 18:03
        
        well she's no Scott Walker, i'll admit . . . -- nm - jangles Sep 19, 17:44
- your IM: watch this and reassess -- (link) - ML Sep 19, 17:15 [youtube] 9
  - The President is the leader of his party. If he backs his VP during a competitive race and loses, he's undermined his party and his legacy. - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:17 7
    - Right--leader of his party. I think O is smart enough to know his backing would vault Biden to the lead. -- (edited) - ML Sep 19, 17:24 6
      - i would vote for Sanders before I would vote for Biden and i suspect most Hillary supporters would if somehow he sabotaged her candidacy - jangles Sep 19, 17:29 5
        
        I think I agree with your IM -- nm - Volnelk Sep 19, 17:32 4
        
        Answering your B2 question, I think Biden takes from both - ML Sep 19, 17:41 3
        
        they've been including him in the polls for months, despite not even having announced, and he never breaks out of the 20% range -- nm - jangles Sep 19, 17:43 2
        
        (a guy who hasn't even announced he's running, is polling at 20%) -- nm - Strongbad Sep 19, 18:02 1
        
        that would be enough to lead most of the GOP field, true - jangles Sep 19, 18:05
  - sure, and Bill sucked it up and hit the trail hard for him in 2012 - jangles Sep 19, 17:17
- I always thought the plagarism stuff was weak sauce - he credited the guy every other time, and just forgot once. - Reagen Sep 19, 17:13 7
  - Maybe not, but he dropped out of the race on account of it and other fabrications. - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:16
  - but it just goes to his general propensity to say dumb things, perpetually - jangles Sep 19, 17:16 2
    - Biden vs Trump -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 17:19
    - I'm not saying he should be president. Just speaking to this specific issue. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 17:17
  - That was the after the fact explanation. It was a pretty big deal at the time. -- nm - David Sep 19, 17:15 2
    - It feels like something that wouldn't be a scandal today, since there'd be scads of film of him saing it with the credit that we'd have already seen. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 17:16 1
      - Wiki has a fair bit more fabrications and speech lifts than just one dude once. - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:18
*Guy stumbles into room with his head in a guitar, falls into piano which closes on him* "GIRRRRRRLLLLLLL!" [studio audience laughs hysterically] -- nm - Once, the Sitcom Sep 19, 17:06 2
- Wait, this isn't a Crazy Nekkid Mel Birthday greeting?!?!? -- nm - tobor.2 Sep 19, 17:09 1
  - It is not Meg's...I don't think anyone else could reverse that mojo -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 19:16
Today was one of my favorite days of the year: honeycrisp day from the orchard. - ML Sep 19, 17:02 3
- "I feel sorry for people watching the 7th game of the World Series, they won't learn anything about apples today." -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 17:04 2
  - Is today that day? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 18:40
  - "aaaapples...aaapples" comeon everybody knows this song..."aaaapples....aaapples" whatsamatter? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 17:09
