QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 7, 2008 -> 07:57 AM) that's what I see too, with a major spin on Indiana being close to Obama's home base and how she won it. Also, she probably will start severly pressing the Michigan and Florida issue, in any pipe dream scenario she has they have to play into it FL and MI are almost, if not already, irrelevant.

Glad I booked a hotel in D.C. for the inauguration before the prices skyrocketed.

Lots of Supers coming out for Obama today?

No wonder she had to ask for donations during her "victory" speech. She has become the Mike Huckabee of the Democratic race.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:23 PM) I was going to vote today but then realized that as long as there is not another prohibition, I do not care who is in office. but I am disapointed Obama didnt win here You don't deserve to post in the Filibuster anymore.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2008 -> 04:43 PM) One threat to America stopped dead in its tracks. They probably had a huge role in "Operation Chaos".

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 6, 2008 -> 03:39 PM) Yeah, I just looked around and saw NC has over a 100 delegates (115?) and Indiana has about 70 (72?). I know NC isn't winner take all and assume Indiana isn't either. So Hill's argument of Obama losing momentum or losing the "bigger" states wouldn't be able to be used if she wins Ind. by a small margin (say 5-8%) while Obama blows out NC Her campaign will then use the logic that NC doesn't really matter. Only the states she wins matter. Sorry. I'll try to keep the anti-Hillary stuff in the other thread.

Spot on blog on The Primary Day Ritual:

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 6, 2008 -> 04:31 PM) The road just got a LOT steeper for her though. She'll need something like 80% of the remaining pledged delegates (not including FL and MI) to win the pledged delegate count. Indeed. Nothing but a handful of small states left (delegate-wise).

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 6, 2008 -> 03:19 PM) And what story will offend them more. The story of the plastic doll with a bat with no more than a basic description of the act. Or the front page story of the triple rape in Lincoln Park. Hell a few years back we had a president who decided to drop some DNA on a blue dress that was more offensive than this. And the internet, good luck with that. If this is the worst thing they see they are lucky. You're just deflecting the argument. You claimed that kids, your son in particular, would not be exposed to this story because it's all about going to the game and focusing on the 25 man roster that day.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 6, 2008 -> 03:07 PM) I dont understand this. When I take my son to a baseball game its the game on the field. The same as my dad did when he took me. We dont stroll into the dugout, hang out with the ballplayers, and dive into that life. The team to me is about the 25 guys on the field playing the game. All of the other crap doesnt involve me, doesnt involve my son and we move on. I dont know what child listens to sports radio or the news in general, so we can eliminate that outlet as a possible influence. Well unless Disney or Boomerang starts to break into Mickey Mouse's Playhouse with Inflatable Doll stories. On the news tonight there will be a short quick blurb about it on TV. Now if I am worried about the Plastic Doll story, dont worry the triple murder and the serial rapist stories will distract him enough to render that pointless. This has nothing to do with the influence of children and is such a non story from that standpoint. Really? When I was growing up I would run down the street each morning and pick up a Trib or Sun Times to read the baseball stats and game results. This is when I was in 3rd and 4th grade. You're telling me that kids today can't easily go to ESPN.com or other sites on the web to follow their favorite team? EDIT: And what was your sample size since you decided to eliminate it altogether as a source that could influence all children.

We should all go meet up at a Sox game after you serve your time and buy you a beer.....as long as you don't drive home.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 6, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) Just got back from court. I will be sentenced to 10 days in CC for driving on a statutory suspended license (it was originally suspensed for driving drunk). Anyway, I've never been in actual jail before. I'm a little nervous. Has anybody from the board spent any time in jail? What should I expect? Are the "don't drop the soap or else" myths true? Any info will be appreciated. I had to spend a few days in CC about 10 years ago for not fulfilling a community service order (don't ask!). Back then you only stayed there for half the sentenced amount. It wasn't as bad as some make it out to be. It's not a federal prison. No one can be sentenced for over 1 year there so it's not like you'll be running into guys who haven't seen a woman in 40 years.

I think my parent's upbringing helped shape my personality. That and probably some genetics.

From Glenn Greenwald's blog:

Prediction: NC: Obama +11 IN: Obama +2

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 5, 2008 -> 08:05 AM) For adults who spend their time playing this sort of video game, I think its maybe a little nerdy and sad, but no big deal. We all have our weird hobbies. But the fact that so many kids are into this game and playing it regularly should be a pretty good indicator to folks about how many lousy f***ing parents there are these days. What kind of useless excuse for a guardian goes out and buys this s*** for their kid(s) to play? Or allows it to be played in their home by their 12-year olds? These are the same parents that take their 5 year old to see Kill Bill at the theater.

QUOTE (ChiSox35 @ May 4, 2008 -> 02:12 PM) Facing Doc did you really expect anything else? Last I checked his career winning percentage isn't 100%. Getting tired of "tipping our cap" to great pitchers.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 3, 2008 -> 12:41 PM) A total of 4 hits in 18 innings is going to be quite a resume builder for Greg Walker, very impressive! Why would he be updating his resume? Doesn't he have a 25 year contract with us?

Yikes. Look at the batting averages of our first 4 hitters. How can you be a serious contender with your first 4 guys batting so terribly? I think Carlos Zambrano is hitting better than all 4 of these guys.

Can anyone say Pander? Sheesh. Read some of the user comments for a good laugh.

Environmental group backs Obama.

They should make movie theaters with walls made of lead that are 4 ft thick. Perhaps that would block all cell phone signals.
