QUOTE (ChiSox35 @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 09:55 PM) Yikes@Hood 10-2. I loved hood. i still do. I will admit that some of it probably is because he is such a great person. He had the show right after "the wise guys" when i was interning there. He was a GREAT person and really fun to talk to. I wish there were more people in the radio industry like him. Instead, jerks like Murph get gigs and hood is looking for scraps.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 06:05 PM) it's ok, everyone makes mistakes. Obama thought there was 57 states. I bet that was one of those sentence that we ALL have that when you finish the sentence you think to yourself "hmmm... that wasnt right. oh well, i'll just press on".

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 08:12 PM) alot of times i fall asleep listening to dan patrick or todd wright and wake up to mike north....its a horrible start to the day, i often have to roll over and switch to the 6 minutes of sports talk per hour on mike and mike....but listening to mully and hanley sure was nice for a change this morning I can go back to listening to the Score in the mornings now I havet done that since B&B left for mid-days.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 05:36 PM) The mystery is what the new WSCR lineup will be. I don't think Mully and Hanley can do six hours every day...or can they? If I were in charge, I'd to Mully and Hanley in the morning (6-10). Find a way to bring back JHood and have him from 10-2 (maybe team him up with someone), dump Murph, B&B 2-6, and do whatever with the evening.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 04:44 PM) Great news.I remember in a past thread I talked about how I refused to believe this guy was raking in millions for the Score.Obviously he wasnt bringing the ratings or the ad money people thought.I wonder if B&B will move to mornings now,I cant see them giving one of the younger guys like Laurence Holmes,Goth,or Abattacolo a morning show slot. Basically, "his guys" got him a really sweat deal from the Score 5+ years ago. Back then, he was working afternoon drive and he was NO WHERE near worth $1.5 million a year. Afternoon drive guys at higher ranked station made less. So, to justify his salary to CBS execs, he was moved to mornings. Simple as that. I was the intern there when the rumors about him moving started to float. not only did he not want to move to mornings, he demanded $100,000 MORE a year to move.

*hears the Hallelujah chorus playing* I had the "lovely" privilege to intern for this jacka$$. Good riddance. The score is BETTER without him.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 04:43 PM) Suddenly that Newsweek poll doesn't look like an outlier. LA Times/Bloomberg poll shows Obama with a 12 point lead nationally. you beat me too it. Yea, makes Newsweek a little more legit. Those STILL seem a little high to me. Maybe 10 max. but hey, it says what it says.

Does anyone have an idea when the VPs might be announced? I imagine it'll be before the conventions. In 2004, Kerry named Edwards his VP on July 6th. In 2000, Bush named Cheney his VP on July 25th. In 2000, Gore named Lieberman his VP on August 7 In 1992, Clinton named Gore his VP on July 9. So, could we see the VPs in the next 3 weeks?

Obama Holds Huge Advantage Over McCain On Energy

Bill Clinton 'committed to' Obama

McCain got caught in a Flip-Flop... FLASHBACK: McCain Declared Osama Bin Laden Threats Are ‘Very Helpful’ To Bush’s Campaign Then (2004)- U.S. Sen. John McCain, campaigning in southwestern Connecticut on Saturday, said Osama bin Laden’s video message to Americans will likely energize President Bush’s re-election campaign. “I think it’s very helpful to President Bush,...It focuses America’s attention on the war on terrorism. I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, but I think it does have an effect.” Now (June 23, 2008)- A McCain adviser said about another terrorist attack on American soil “Certainly it would be a big advantage to him.” McCain responded, “I strenuously disagree.”

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 09:30 AM) I was getting ready to post that, yeah. Unless I'm mistaken the entire program risked getting suspended if the Democrats didn't compromise and nobody wanted that. That doesn't mean the Democrats are okay with retroactive immunity. this is really a tough corner. It's a no win. You CANT let the program go away, but if the republicans arent willing to budge on immunity, what the heck do you do? I also like that Obama said that if it IS passed, as president he'll put legislation in place to remove the immunity.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 08:51 AM) Only problem is that Zogby was the worst pollster in 2004, and Rasmussen was one of the best. and oddly this year they were 2 of the worst in the primaries. I dunno. I'm sticking with my list.

There was no "post-invasion" plan because we were to be "greeted as liberators", which didnt happen. Now, there is no "post-surge" plan. GAO Report Faults Post-'Surge' Planning

Well, one fear is relieved: McCain aide- "John McCain is aware of the Internet" He may have no idea how to use a computer, but he is aware of the internet.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) Does your scale go from most Obama friendly to least? It's pure numbers for me. I actually dont know which ones would be "Obama friendly". I am just looking at who was accurate during the primaries and who wasn't. I have Rasmussen so low because they just were not very reliable and Quinnipiac is #2 because they were probably the second most reliable. Suffolk was good, but they only had 10 polls in the primaries. That is compared to 25+ for all the others.

Ok, i took a look at the poll data from the primaries and I came up with a list of polls I will trust, polls I wont trust, and polls that you should use with caution. The list is of the pollsters that did a significant amount of states. less than 10 polls just isnt a good enough sample size. Trust SurveyUSA (my #1) Quinnipiac (my #2) Suffolk (border line caution) Caution Zogby (almost trust worthy) Public Policy Polling (PPP) Rasmussen (this one is border line not trust worthy) Don't Trust Insider Advantage Masion-Dixon ARG
