Question: it seems that ST is pretty confident that Rubio will get the GOP nom. - Marlowe Feb 2, 11:25 23
- If I were giving odds at the moment, it would go: Cruz, Rubio, Trump. - ML Galaxy Feb 2, 12:31
- No - half of the Republican Party doesn't want to vote for an establishment candidate. -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 12:14
- I'd give him a solid 33% chance now. -- nm - Baron Whitlock Feb 2, 11:52
- my two cents. - Truman Feb 2, 11:46
- It's a facade - Znufrii Feb 2, 11:46 3
  - Let me go on record as saying that I'm probably more scared of Rubio than the other 2. - pmb Feb 2, 11:57 2
    - Oh, I don't mean we're scared that they might win. -- nm - Znufrii Feb 2, 11:58
    - Right. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 2, 11:58
- who now gets the Koch bros super pac money now that Bush gets sent down to the minors -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 2, 11:45
- He's the one the establishment wants, so he's the storyline of the day -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 11:43
- I'm not the least bit confident. -- nm - David Feb 2, 11:38 6
  - No. The Republican nomination is 100% up in the air at the moment. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 2, 11:43 5
    - Yes, I can see a path for any of the top 3 from yesterday. I have a hard time seeing a path for anybody but those top 3 though. There would need to - pmb Feb 2, 11:56 2
      - If Trump drops out and endorses Carson! -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 12:52
      - Yes, agreed. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 2, 11:57
    - I think it really depends on who the Koch brothers throw their money behind -- nm - decline Feb 2, 11:47 1
      - Do they usually help pick the nom? -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 11:53
- Since no one got much more than 25% of the vote, it is still to early to call, but Rubio is the only likable guy left. -- nm - GregW Feb 2, 11:35 1
  - Uh Oh, he is getting dry mouth -- nm - amoxy Feb 2, 11:35
- I wouldn't assign confidence to that, but he's probably the only "mainstream" candidate with a chance. -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 11:27
- He is the least extreme. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 11:25 2
  - By what I have seen out of Trump, Cruz and Carson, that is not saying much.. - Marlowe Feb 2, 11:27 1
    - 1,000% agreed. - Spawn Feb 2, 11:31

  - We Are Young is blatant - Andie Feb 2, 11:32 1
    - I was thought the scar was figurative and it was an emotional wound, not necessarily emotional abuse, but that he had done something that hurt her. -- nm - sycor Feb 2, 11:38

- How many kids total? -- nm - amoxy Feb 2, 11:31 2
  - 16 (we have one 2 yr old and a few kids 11+, but the majority are 4-7). -- nm - kelly Feb 2, 11:31 1
    - I predict the 2 yo is the best bowler -- nm - decline Feb 2, 11:42
- More kids per lane = more downtime = more drinks and snacks consumed.. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 2, 11:29
- 6 per? They told us 4 initially. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 11:27 7
  - Yeah. (We could always rent an extra lane for an hour if we wanted to keep it at 4/lane) -- nm - kelly Feb 2, 11:29 2
    - trust me, you don't need to do that. -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 11:31 1
      - Yeah. 16 kids - 3 lanes. that would be just about right. -- nm - Jim Feb 2, 11:46
  - the kids lose interest quickly either way, they will be grabassing anyway -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 11:27 3
    - Yep, and ultimately, you'll appreciate having fewer lanes to keep an eye on. - Jim Feb 2, 11:29 2
      - We got 13 or 14 parents there for 16 kids. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 2, 11:35 1
        
        not that many! but yeah, plenty of parents there (plus my mom) -- nm - kelly Feb 2, 11:38

- the kids will be goofing off and shit, it is fine. - groiny Feb 2, 11:23
- A few beers and nachos and those kids will be just fine. -- nm - Krusty - Most Right Poster Feb 2, 11:22 1
  - make sure they fold the nachos before eating them. -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 11:23
Right about now. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 11:20 1
