This is nearly the equivalent of the Sox winning the series. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 18:47 3
- which sox? -- nm - amanchester Jan 19, 18:47 2
  - why aren't there Blue Sox? some team should become the Blue Sox -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 18:48

Obama FAIL. Epic disappointment. I'd rather have had McCain/Palin at this point. - Mop Jan 19, 18:45

- the loser is the woman right? cause she went uber-negative ads the last couple of weeks -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 18:43 1
  - She's not man-smart. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 18:49
- I am honestly shocked considering where this happened, and who's seat they just won. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:43 2

weirdly, i think winning the seat puts more of an onus on the GOP to work across the aisle - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 18:38 3
- Why would they change now. Blood is in the water. Block everything then get a landslide win. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:41 2
  - because before at least you could make the argument "well what can we do? they have a filibuster proof majority" now that the GOP can stop things - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 18:44 1
    - I think Americans will still think of the Democratic party as the major majority. - Redmond Jan 19, 18:48
Lieberman is now odd man out now. I am sure they will unload on him now. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:34 1

Happy B-day Truman -- nm - Little drummer Karl Jan 19, 18:33
Coakley is an idiot for running a horrible and lazy campaign. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:31 2

  - I used whole-wheat rotini - very satifying...and a little chopped ham,,,and some green veggies. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 19, 18:23
  - butter and soy creamer do not equal cheese. no way. -- nm - amanchester Jan 19, 18:21 5
    - Oh no, Annie provides the cheese - OAE Jan 19, 18:22 4
      - oh, so it's organic processed food? yeah, if it's processed anyway I'd rather go all out. - amanchester Jan 19, 18:30 3
        
        And with all the current fuss over quinoa, how come none of my markets carry it? -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 19, 18:40 2
        
        my mommy makes this *amazing* quinoa bread. I had never heard of it until joyce, but it's so... like, meaty. I actually really dislike bread - amanchester Jan 19, 18:45 1
        
        i love quinoa everything - you must recipe me. -- nm - Andie Jan 19, 18:49
happy birthday truman! -- nm - Andie Cane Jan 19, 18:08
the really ironic thing is this special election is only being held this early because Ted Kennedy asked for it before he died -- (link) - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 18:07 1
- A litlle *toooo* ironic. -- nm - Alanis Jan 19, 18:08

- It is superior to much of the dreck being aired. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 18:08 1
  - I wonder if it would have been better had they just developed a med school show with no connection to Scrubs. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 18:12

- I think Dems lose the House or come very close to it. He moves to the center, and wins a second term. - Redmond Jan 19, 18:12 22
  - He's already in the center. -- nm - Tim Jan 19, 18:16 6
    - Yeah, he's just ineffectual. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 18:17 5
      - The first thing has led to the second thing. - Tim Jan 19, 18:21 4
        
        Liberalism is a dead/dying entity. The sooner the Democrats realize this and actually start governing wisely - Will Hunting Jan 19, 18:23 3
        
        Obama got elected in a landslide on a progressive/populist platform - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 18:24 2
        
        if you run Hillary in 2008 instead of him, do you think she wins big? i do. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 18:26
        
        Obama got elected because he wasnt Bush, or from the party of Bush. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:25
  - They keep the house by 8-12 votes; lose 7 seats in the senate and then by 2012; they very likely lose the senate even if he wins re-election. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 18:15 13
    - [deleted] 4
      - I just don't know anyone who could beat him. - Tim Jan 19, 18:23 3

        Had you pegged Obama as a contender in January 2006? -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 18:24 1
        
        I was positive he'd be president someday from the 2004 convention on. -- nm - Tim Jan 19, 18:31
    - The latest polls I saw this Morning show the majority of Americans are against THIS health care reform bill. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:17 7
      - This health care bill was bungled up front. Majority wants real reform. Obama et al dropped the ball to get to this point. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 18:21 3
        
        The Nebraska payoff was one of the things that pissed me off. There have been a few other things since. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:24 2
        
        You're picking something that happend at the very end as your starting point for pissed you off? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 18:28 1
        
        Yes. I am not against health care reform. I was for a plan that does it right. Then they started cutting pasting glueing ramming and it's not - Redmond Jan 19, 18:30
      - some because they think it's "socialist" some because it doesn't go far enough toward a single payer system -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 18:19
      - Just by memory it was something like 51% against and 44% for it. some werent' sure -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:18 1
        
        Oops, it was George Stephanopoulos on GMA -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:19

- Yeah, I'm seeing 62% reporting now. Brown 53, Coakley 46. -- nm - Jelly Jan 19, 18:09 1
  - If it was in Illinois those numbers would magically change overnight. Coakley won the dead vote, and wins 80% to 20% -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:11
ABC News story. 22% of married couples, the women make more money than the man. Okay, I want a Sugar Momma now. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 17:57 1

- And he only made $650k last year. Nice raise either way. -- nm - Tim Jan 19, 18:10
- So...13mil it is. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 17:51 8
  - I'd give him 13million+1 just to make the friggin' point. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 19, 17:58 2
    - You know, that's not a bad strategy to make him feel appreciated. "Whoops, sorry about the $8 million. Must have been a typo." -- nm - David Jan 19, 18:03
    - Gotta pick one or the other. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 17:59
  - If he doesn't win, no one should ever win arbitration. Ever. -- nm - David Jan 19, 17:56 3
    - Exactly. The Giants should be offering 11mil right now just to save the $2mil. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 18:00 2
      - or going long-term and locking him up -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 18:04 1
        
        I don't think they want to do so ... if this is what he's asking for.... - Will Hunting Jan 19, 18:10

        Ooh, that kinda sucks, I'm sorry. you'll come out of this okay though, I'm positive. -- nm - Tim Jan 19, 18:08 1
        
        I'll be fine. I counted weeks I've been employed last week. "long enough to collect until I go back to school." that's all that counts. -- nm - amanchester Jan 19, 18:13
      - You missed my guest star arc? -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 17:48 4

MacRumors: New evidence however has revealed that Apple may, in fact, be positioning "iPad" as the name for the imminent tablet device. -- nm - David Jan 19, 17:27 5
- Most women don't associate the word "pad" with anything positive. Just saying. -- nm - mara Jan 19, 17:41 1
  - this made me laugh. - the liioulu with cake recipes Jan 19, 17:43
- they're trademarking names so that knockoff manufacturers can't use them...iPad? It'd be ridiculous to name it so similar to iPod -- nm - stewie Jan 19, 17:37
- this is gross. it might keep me from buying one. -- nm - amanchester Jan 19, 17:29
- (If this is a joke rumor by Apple, it's well executed.) -- nm - David Jan 19, 17:27
Happy birthday, truman! -- nm - David Jan 19, 17:26 7

      - This graph looks interesting. Democrats cut the debt relative to GDP...Republicans seem to raise it. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 17:59 4
        
        And how much did the debt decrease last year? :) -- nm - Ender Jan 19, 18:02 3
        
        How much longer does his term run? - Will Hunting Jan 19, 18:14 2
        
        Call me crazy, but I expect a decrease in something before somebody claims to be paying it down... - Ender Jan 19, 18:18 1
        
        Clearly, if you wanna pay down the deficit or debt..you're on teh wrong side. Fiscally successful admins seem to be Democrats - Will Hunting Jan 19, 18:24

  - Depends where those are from. Rural or cities? At least the majority of them -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 17:42 2
