Something weird occurred to me... - Mop Jan 28, 10:07 2

SWOC (re: Iowa Dems) -- (link) - ty97 Jan 28, 10:06
Huge credit to the Feds and how they handled the situation at the Malheur wildlife refuge. Only 4 militants remain holed up. - Mop Jan 28, 10:04 1
- Yeah, the occupiers weren't very smart. And except for the guy who wanted to die, they folded like a cheap suit when confronted by force. -- nm - TWuG Jan 28, 10:12
Ty97 needs a bit of classic SNL education -- (link) - con_carne Jan 28, 09:57 [hulu]
12 month Live Gold - $38 -- (link) - spamlet Jan 28, 09:55 2
- Got it! Thanks! -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 10:18
- excellent. thanks -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 09:56
Have we discussed Hillary's running mate? I'm still pretty convinced it will be Julian Castro. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 09:55 51
- I'm so not paying attention to Politics. I don't recognize most of the names being posted here -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 10:07 2
  - Hillary Clinton is the former Secretary of State and former Senator from New York. - ty97 Jan 28, 10:09 1
    - *punches you in the jimmy* - oblique Jan 28, 10:09
- The other day, I mentioned several potentials currently sitting on the sidelines. - David Jan 28, 10:07 3
  - Booker and Deval would be solid options, but you don't gain anything with a black candidate - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:11 2
    - As I said, I simply don't buy that a VP candidate flips a swing state today, if they ever did. -- nm - David Jan 28, 10:13 1
      - Both Virginians are pretty popular. It isn't a flip as much as fortification. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:15
- Bernie! - znufrii Jan 28, 10:05
- I think she would be served to have someone like Mark Warner or Brian Schweitzer - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:01 12
  - If she were running in 2004. She doesn't need white moderate votes to win -- nm - mr plow Jan 28, 10:02 11
    - No, but she also doesn't see any reason to go off the reservation with a modest level cabinet secretary with limited executive experience -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:05 10
      - Former San Antonio mayor. Why pick another northerner? - ty97 Jan 28, 10:08 8
        
        Schweitzer is western; and Warner is a purple stater... - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:13 7
        
        IIRC Schweitzer's had some positions that make him a bit of a liability, no? -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 10:14 3
        
        All politicians have. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:15 2
        
        sure, but I vaguely recall something about him that would be a bit of an anchor. - ty97 Jan 28, 10:15 1
        
        He has some shaky finance things iirc...really, he's a stretch, but he's a different demographic - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:22
        
        she will win Virginia on NoVa no matter who her VP his -- nm - mr. plow Jan 28, 10:13 2
        
        Virginia went for Obama by 6% in 2008 and 3.5% in 2012. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:14 1
        
        right, the black presidential candidate in the Confederacy's capitol state -- nm - mr. plow Jan 28, 10:15
      - she needs to turn out the Obama coalition at roughly the same levels he did. Mark Warner is exciting as a bucket of warm spit -- nm - mr. plow Jan 28, 10:08
- (forgive the presumption that Hillary will win) -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 09:55
- I can't imagine anyone but him. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 09:55 28
  - They only thing that has me wondering if it will be someone else is she has polling telling her she needs a white* man. -- (edited) - ty97 Jan 28, 09:56 27
    - She's not going to do worse with the white vote than Obama, and likely better where it matters - mr plow Jan 28, 10:01
    - Ha, watch it be Uncle Joe. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 09:58 25
      - I honestly don't know who it would be. O'Malley doesn't really give her much that I can see, and he adds Baltimore baggage. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 09:59 24
        
        I can't see a Clinton/Warren ticket either. - Strongbad Jan 28, 10:00 23
        
        No way Warren is anywhere near the ticket. She picks another moderate Dem. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 10:01 22
        
        she is the moderate dem. -- nm - mr. plow Jan 28, 10:09 5
        
        And don't ruin it by picking an uber liberal. What are the liberals gonna do, vote Republican? -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 10:10 4
        
        there are no "moderates in the middle" anymore. you win by turning out your base more than the other side -- nm - mr. plow Jan 28, 10:11 3
        
        Turning on your base is important, but independents swing elections. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 10:15 2
        
        a myth -- (link) - mr. plow Jan 28, 10:16
        
        As we learned in 2012, a shocking volume of "independents" are disaffected ultra-conservatives who hate party labels. -- nm - David Jan 28, 10:16
        
        right. Warren is radioactive in a General Election. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 10:03 14
        
        In the social media era, she's one of the most appealing potential candidates. - David Jan 28, 10:10 9
        
        She's a viral maven...to the left. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 10:11 8
        
        Her entire political career exists because people brashly derided her. She disintegrated them. - David Jan 28, 10:15 7
        
        I'm more skeptical of the GOP base's reaction to her than you are. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 10:21 1
        
        The GOP base doesn't even like itself. I'm not worried about them. - David Jan 28, 10:26
        
        You're insane. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 10:20 4
        
        That's a different conversation. - David Jan 28, 10:20 1
        
        she really does. she's the only one I believe in at this point. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 10:23
        
        To be more clear: You're insane that moderates would love/like her. The rest you are right on. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 10:20 1
        
        Moderates initially swarmed toward Sarah Palin. Then, she started talking. - David Jan 28, 10:22
        
        ~radioactive - radioactive~ -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 10:09 1
        
        I like this ear worm - thanks -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 10:23
        
        Yup. She gets a key cabinet position perhaps. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 10:05 1
        
        Maybe this but I really see her as best suited right where she is. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 10:09
        
        and unquestionably a male one. -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 10:01
So, has anyone mentioned that there's a rumor out there about the next season of AHS? (spoils) nm - Jim Jan 28, 09:52 7
- I might not even watch -- nm - groiny Jan 28, 10:02
- I have not heard about that. seems unlikley - they need some place to build around -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 09:53 5
  - The only thing I've heard that is solid about the next season is that it will take place in the present... - Jim Jan 28, 09:54 4
    - do we want her back though? who else would we want back? Emma R is doing Scream Queens 2 -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 10:12 3
      - I am fine as long as Paulson, Peters, O'Hare and would love to have Rabe back. -- nm - groiny Jan 28, 10:14 2
        
        Cheyenne Jackons could lead it -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 10:24 1
        
        he looks like he was chiseled out of diamonds and unicorn hair. -- nm - groiny Jan 28, 10:25
I just saw in my FB side bar that Alan Alda was 'trending'. I was about to very upset. (don't panic) - Andie Jan 28, 09:52
Mostly for Spawn...#BellLEtsTalk - Andie Jan 28, 09:49

  - the ML jinx is strong -- nm - mr. plow Jan 28, 10:12
  - Wut? - Bernie supporters SI Jan 28, 09:51

      - Look at the 538 analysis above. If he wins the nominee, it vastly increases the odds of Democrats taking complete control of the legislative branch. - David Jan 28, 09:57
  - Seriously? I have yet to hear anyone *actually* like him. -- nm - Spawn Jan 28, 09:39 9
