DEM Primaries/Candidates thread
QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 01:05 PM) Supposedly it's also in the $17-$20 million range. IIRC from last time, Obama's camp was out in front on its fundraising numbers as well. Probably because they think, correctly, it's good press to see them hanging with the Clintons. Regardless of early polls I have a feeling Obama is going to be a major player down the stretch. Just look at the crowds he gets at some of his appearances. The guy is blowing up, figuratively of course.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 12:54 PM) I'll ask you directly, B.S., what do you think about that speech? I think this line from his speech sums up my thoughts best: We can’t ‘export’ democracy as if it was Coca Cola or KFC, but we can nurture native moderate forces in all these countries where Al Qaeda seeks to replace modern evil with medieval evil. Overall a very good speech from Huckabee.

Candidate Spouses
QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 12:59 PM) I like how he is standing on a footstool in that picture so he looks taller than her. Actually she is sitting down as he's standing.

Another $19M for Obama. He is a money making machine.

GOP Primaries/Candidates thread
QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 09:15 AM) This is universally true - they all have some spin answer instead of just straight up saying "I don't know, I'll research it and get back to you". Thompson just hasn't learned that he has to have some generic bulls*** answer for everything, even if he doesn't know a thing about it. He will though, give him time. So I guess my question is what the heck has he been doing all year? How many "I don't know" answers is he going to give us?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 29, 2007 -> 07:07 PM) Hott Fuzz is absolutey awful (and I loved Shaun of the Dead). I had to turn the s*** off halfway into it for being so bad. I completely agree.

Bobby Freakin Jenks
I find it amazing that a team with one of the worst records in baseball has a closer with 40 saves. Doesn't seem logical.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 29, 2007 -> 09:02 AM) Please. This guy made his money by being an ambulance chaser. He's scum and stupid comments like this don't help. I'm not a fan of his but come on. You act like you have some personal dirt on him. Did he eat aborted fetuses or something? Sheesh.

Official Hate for the Milwaukee Brewers Thread
QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 29, 2007 -> 02:29 AM) Probably 8th or 9th best in the AL. Has there ever been a time where the difference between leagues has been this lopsided? How about last year? The Cards were just as lousy and won it all.

I'll take Huckabee. Maybe I'll learn something from the dark side.

The environment thread
QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 28, 2007 -> 08:59 AM) I've heard that. I haven't been there yet, but most people I know who have, tell me its the best city in Texas. I've been in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Amarillo... just not Austin yet. I would definitely say it is. I haven't been to Madison WI since I was a kid but a lot of people compare the 2. I'd love to go back soon....to Austin that is.

Katie Couric - Commentator or Anchor ?
QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Sep 27, 2007 -> 03:27 PM) I wouldn't necessarily say that, but I would like to see a link, so I can put things in context. Look at the title of the thread. Is she not an anchor because she stated her opinion about matters even though it wasn't during her broadcast?
