The 'no experience' cries from Obama voters is suspect at best She has 2 years as governor and great approval ratings. not a lot of experience, but lets look at Obama... Obama pushed 'no vote' button in springfield for a while and has been in the Senate for a minute or so. Deal with it, your guy has no experience and he is the top of the ticket.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 04:05 PM) There was a very subtle insult of some peoples' intelligence in that post that doesn't even engage the conversation that was going on. "the Not worthwhile" category, btw. Well, I wasn't trying to insult anyone.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 02:59 PM) Not really, there is some worthwhile discussion here. However, your second post in this thread falls into that category fwiw. which category? worth while or not?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 02:41 PM) Eh, I'd call 60-70% of it snark and B.S. There is that 30% that is worth reading. well 14 of 18 pages being total slop would be about 78% with 22% being worth reading and possibly responding too. maybe my assessment was a little bit off

Oh wow, there is no one I'm reading through this thread. at least 14 pages of snark and meaningless posts.

It's a good VP pick Of course the rapid Obama supproters HATE it, but that is good.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) For even more fun, they're sending Cheney to Georgia and Azerbaijan after he speaks on Monday per the current schedule. They won't even let him be in the country. haha i didn't know that.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 07:03 PM) This is probably the most disgusting of all his ads. you should file a lawsuit to keep it from airing

HOW DARE HE CONGRATULATE OBAMA FOR HIS HISTORIC NOMINATION!

lol the Goracle is on tv

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 12:14 PM) I don't believe these polls much.. BUt man, if they Repub's actually think seeing Bush and McCain on Monday will help...well, hehe. they don't. thats why they are trying to sneak Bush in on Monday and McCain goes on the last day (of course). If GW doesn't go to the convention as to attend to executive duties, McCain won't object.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 11:14 AM) Another move by the party of inclusion to stiffle free speech... http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-to...cago-radio-show This whole move by the Democrats is very troubling. We are seeing a heavy censoring, psychotic (our political leader is sent from god to lead) creepiness from the Dems. Fortunately I don't think it will work at all. I actually see them losing this election because of this type of thing. This election is nearly impossible to lose because of the massive disdain currently for the Republicans; but the dailykos types running the Obama campaign are going to wreck him.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 11:26 AM) The Obama campaign has made it pretty clear that they are TERRIFIED of William Ayers. I mean, they have reason to be very afraid of him, but to see them going to the level of trying to stifle free speech is fascinating. They really are. Their attempts to skirt the first amendment really opens a window to the poor character and lack of intellectual integrity the Obama campaign is embracing.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) my guess, after the RNC, we are within 3 pts, either way. Statistically irrelevant. Wait till the debates, then it will move to +/- 5-6%. yea that really is when the elections are won or lost IMO

QUOTE (Nokona @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 08:48 PM) For the first time in my 20 years, I actually feel like I'm winning. These 3 days have been wonderful the bounce Obama gets from it will really show if it won over any voters. i don't like the Dems, so i am admittedly biased... but i think the convention has been pretty lame. i don't even think Obama will get a bounce from it.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 08:14 PM) Obama's pretty damn good He's insanely overrated. he speeches kind of suck really. his preacher cadence and constant slogans really don't make for much of a speech IMO.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 07:39 PM) It's gonna be a half hour of a f***ing Robot demonstration. hmm, sounds interesting. but i'm not sure the Republicans could pull it off. too many huckabee delegates who don't believe in evolution, let alone robots.

got out of it only giving up one

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 06:26 PM) Not a good night for Danks. Just doesn't have it tonight. Lets hope he can stay strong down the stretch. he is struggling. this is one of those games where he doesn't have his stuff but the Sox need him to minimize the damage and try to get around the 7th with 3 or 4 runs allowed.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 06:21 PM) Wouldnt a HR guy by definition be able to get the ball up in the air with some decent pop? That translates into a guy who can give you a SF to me That really does seem like the way things should be with a hitter like swish. But from my observations I've found that the higher batting average hitters have more bat control which seems to allow them to guide a sac fly to the outfield with much higher regularity than someone with a very low average, yet power. Of course Swish could hit a sac fly, but it would most likely be completely unintended and have a lower chance of occurring.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 06:16 PM) Its a shame Lexi couldnt have gotten Konerko to third there with a hitter like swish up next, moving runners over isn't really a priority IMO. He's not much of a hitter, he might draw a walk but the sacrifice is pointless then. He usually drives in runs with homeruns and he doesn't really have contact base hit or sac fly skills which are key to bringing in that runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs. He's basically a 'walk' or 'homerun' type.

lets see what swish can do it's usually 'all or nothing' with him and runners in scoring position

the Sox are so easy to steal on

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 06:59 PM) What happened? AJ on first, hard ground ball down third base line hit by Dye. Amazing play by Mora, throws out Dye at first. But AJ was running full speed the whole time and made it from 1st to 3rd on the ground ball out
