Well, we'll see what media attention this gets. It will be big news because it's SEX and it's high profile, but it would be "an embarassment of epic proportions" if it was Spitzer (REP). But I don't have to say that.

Mps, I almost took that palehose for my sig too... I LOVE IT.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 8, 2008 -> 11:07 PM) Updated Delegate Scorecard for the Dems. This is assuming the delegate split in WY is 7-5 for Obama, though most other sites I've seen are predicting 8-4. Anyway, Obama leading by about 110 delegates total - 1570 to 1460. His lead in pledged delegates is 154. Currently, Clinton has 245 Supers, Obama has 201. That gap has been slowly closing. There are 9 states and 2 US territories left to vote. They represent 599 pledged delegates. There are 795 total superdelegates, of which 446 have endorsed a candidate already. That leaves 349 supers undetermined. John Edwards has 26 delegates to throw around, and he has yet to endorse a candidate. Plus the NC primary is looming. There are 4049 Delegates total - 2025 are needed to win. Then there are the FL and MI delegates, which were removed from the process, but may come back into play. I don't know how much they are worth. Here is a possibility to consider. It may occur that even after all the states are done, AND all the supers have committed, that STILL, neither candidate makes 2025 - due to MI and FL. That's if they aren't re-done. This has been your NSS delegate count update. Enjoy the madness. Obama's camp already conceded that they will not get to 2025.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 8, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) I've decided to join in. I'm 6 foot, 177 and am looking to get back down to about 155-160 and at that point, I plan on building a bit of muscle mass to get me into the 165 range. Began yesterday (after my busy season ended) and plan on playing lots and lots of basketball to cut the weight (my actual diet appears to be pretty good for the most part so I'm not going to make many adjustments to that). I also am going to begin some early basic lifting (ie, pushups and curls on a bidaily basis and than situps on a daily basis to try to trim up the old abs). Once I get to where I want, I'll do a more normal cardio routine and spent a bit of time lifting (just to try and get my muscles a bit more defined). I'd also like to add this is my heaviest weight ever and I've always typically been in the 157-165 range since my junior year or so of high school. I weighed 150 when I was your age. Now I weigh 210. I've actually lost a little weight since New Years, but it's not by anything I've been doing.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Mar 7, 2008 -> 07:47 PM) Indeed it is edit: assuming you're talking about corruption It's ok, we should just all become one big happy nanny state where everything is taken care of by our government because it does SOOOOO much good for us. Food, health care, cars, jobs, money, spouses, religion (oh wait, we can't have that now, can we?)...

QUOTE(lostfan @ Mar 7, 2008 -> 06:09 PM) How many things involving a lot of money don't also involve bureaucracy? As I said, it's always there on some level, but as soon as you take the marketplace out of something to incentivize efficiencies, it becomes inefficient by nature.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 7, 2008 -> 03:11 PM) I just wanted to get an opinion from the masses on the usage of Adobe Flash in websites. What do you think of it? Do you like all Flash websites? Do you prefer HTML websites with some Flash integrated inside? Do you just prefer all HTML? Just looking for opinions, as I design using some Flash and HTML and was wondering what the general public feels about Flash now. I know that some absolutely love it, like myself, and others absolutely despise it and have it blocked. Hmmm.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Mar 7, 2008 -> 05:18 PM) There is a lot more accountability among government employees than the average person seems to think. Now, if you want to talk about elected officials... that's a whole different story. Accountability to individuals is one thing, but if the whole thing is beaurocratic to begin with...

QUOTE(lostfan @ Mar 7, 2008 -> 04:47 PM) Why do people talk about the government ("government" being a general term but usually applying only to the federal one) is the only organization capable of being corrupt and/or incompetent? It is not the only organization as such, but it is one of the most inefficient and incompentent forms of "doing business" there is because there's no reason for efficiency at all. None.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 6, 2008 -> 04:40 PM) Since apparently Jas is gone until the 15th and I can't make it the 11th, and we still have to hunt some people down, I pushed back the draft until Friday the 21st at 10:30 PM. Yeah, the time kinda sucks, but for now the choices blow. Sorry guys. I have been working Jason hours as well... I will log in this weekend, and I will post my keepers here as well. Thanks for putting up with my slow ass.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 12:00 PM) You basically posted this same thing 100 times over the last 2 months. Please add a bit more to the discussion. You're right, I've not waivered from that stance. As I've said the same 100 times, I hope Obama can overcome, but if (well now, it's almost for certain) he doesn't have the nomination in hand before Denver, it's over for Obama. There's no way in hell that Obama gets the nomination over Clinton without outright winning the number of delegates it takes to win. It will really surprise me unless a whole slew of people shift over to Obama to shift the counts necessary for him to win (superdelegates). Clinton's dream happened last night: she didn't lose, Obama did. And what's worse, she did it the Clinton Machine way... going negative.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 11:41 AM) Memo issued today by David Plouffe: Hillary is now your nominee. Face it.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 11:00 AM) The good news out of this is that at least whatever Dem gets the nomination in the fall is going to have campaigned in all 50 states in the primary season, so the Dem candidate is going to have a built in backlog of people at least knowing who they are. The bad news is that this sh*t just keeps on coming. God damnit Texas, you bastards... The path for Hillary is now open. She doesn't have to go to the convention with a pledged delegate lead if she can give the impression of momentum by creating her own winning streak through March/April. Bingo. The door is WIDE open, and as a matter of fact, I would say the door is closing on Obama.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 09:47 AM) FULL ARTICLE B.S. what do you think of the tactic? For me, that has been what has made Obama more appealing is that he has stayed away from the smear machine. If he does it, I think it far outweighs his strengths. Like the saying is, you play in the mud with pigs you become a pig, and the Clintons are FAR better at it then Obama, and he will lose badly if he "takes the gloves off".

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 09:01 AM) Either way, it is the same slander by proxy that has been the trademark of the Clintons for almost two decades now. It blows my mind that so many people don't connect the dots and realize what the source of all of this sewage is. Don't forget SNL. No joke. And she ABSOLUTELY had a hand in that (of course, she appeared on the show, but don't think that wasn't calculated very carefully).

Obama's camp said he can't get to the 2,025 needed to win now and they know it. Now what? I think now that they go to Denver without a nominee, Hillary gets it by default.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 12:01 AM) To say tonight was a good night for the GOP would be a vast understatement. McCain is official, and the dems are back into 2 candidate quagmire mode, with Hillary back in it. Yea, but it's not... Hillary anywhere close to the nomination scares me. So does Obama, but not nearly as bad.

/takes a bow Thank you, thank you... I'll take my pay as the reporter on the ground here who told you so.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) Obama Attorney Crashes Clinton Campaign Conference Call HAHAHA!! Oh brother. You know why the caucuses were set up years ago, right? And now that it's working against her, she's going to "sue"...? Goodbye and good riddance, hopefully.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) Next two largest: Denton: 1% reporting, heavy Obama lead Tarrant: 15% reporting, heavy Obama lead Basically, Obama's strong areas are still pending. Denton Co. is a huge college population in Denton, hispanic outside and north of Denton, and south of Denton you start hitting the burbs of Dallas/Ft Worth. I live in far far far northern Tarrant Co.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 09:31 PM) hmmmm Nice.

The talk was the "Hillary push" today. FWIW. Hopefully Obama caucuses well and had enough early votes to hang on. I think that's why he jumped out to such a big early lead - that was the early vote count.

QUOTE(AngelasDaddy0427 @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 09:02 PM) By the way there isn't a doubt in my mind that Hillary is only doing all this because she has a deal to give John McCain the presidency and she knows that her being the nominee is the only way that becomes a certainty. Ok know I know you're smoking dope or something, because the Clintons don't negotiate ANYTHING with ANYONE that doesn't benefit them. Dismissed.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) I don't think so. Obama will win TX, I think. Clinton will probably win OH, though. I hope you're right, but from what little I've heard, turnout was big and it was big for Hillary. Now, I have no idea on the caucus side of things... that might help Obama.
