  - "was"? -- nm - loosilu Feb 9, 11:56
- There's plenty on the left in this boat; they just aren't nearly as effective. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 9, 11:55 11
  - Isn't part of that because they aren't coddled by the establishment, as TWuG says though? - musubi Feb 9, 11:58 8
    - I don't think so....I don't think they can rally the bases nearly as well (Air America) - Will Hunting Feb 9, 12:01 3

      - and it helps when the party establishment turns out elected officials for their rallies -- nm - MaxLies PAC Feb 9, 12:01

        [deleted] 1

  - facts don't prove anything...nm - x Feb 9, 11:47
  - facts have a well-known liberal bias -- nm - cupixie Feb 9, 11:41 1

  - I'm not being clear. In our county we have 21 condominium associations, with untold numbers of unit owners. - OAE -- Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 9, 11:47
  - I don't even understand why we would go to an outside list. Our management office keeps files on vendors we use for the grounds - Max Feb 9, 11:45 8
    - Again, we're working with 21 associations. We can't find a competent management company in this county... - OAE -- Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 9, 11:49 1

        Me, too! Ain't it fun? -- nm - OAE -- Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 9, 11:52
      - Please do! -- nm - OAE -- Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 9, 11:50
- That would suck. We maintain our own lists, formed largely from past experiences and recommendations. -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 11:32 2
  - We're just trying to make lists available on a bigger scale... - OAE -- Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 9, 11:51 1

- a country so great, even a babbling moron like Sarah Palin can find success. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 11:41 1
  - I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady! -- nm - Max Feb 9, 11:48
- so proud of America that she just said we were on the road to ruin - cupixie Feb 9, 11:33

        I don't know who he is, but his wiki page says he's off of coke and touring with INXS. - David Feb 9, 11:52 3
        
        actually, it is -- nm - prayformojo Feb 9, 11:59
        
        Yeah, he threw a fit at the airport at the end of a tour and they fired him - Reagen Feb 9, 11:59 1
