Republican 2012 Nomination Thread
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 16, 2011 -> 03:31 PM) The media is trying like hell to nominate someone they feel is a lesser threat to Obama. Romney is that candidate. He's a pus.....hover. And Tex, the major problem with Perry is his arrogance. He thought he could walk right in and win this thing. He sticks out his chest and screams "TEXAS!!!!!!!" and thinks everyone should vote for him. Guess what? No one gives a s*** about what he can do for Texas, they care about what he can do for our country. Maybe when he gets a little more humility (never) he would have a chance. I would hope that every candidate thinks that or else they are wasting tens of millions of dollars.

A Cards - Ranger series means a team I like will win the WS. It also means I can't pick between the two.

Obama sends 100 troops to Africa to fight LRA
My first guess was this was a liberal attack on Rush Limbaugh, so I started searching the net, assuming I would find what Rush really said. Checking http://www.rushlimbaugh.com first I came upon this transcript http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2011/10/...gets_christians wow, I'll bet Rush wants that one back.

It is harder to control his message on the national stage. I'm frankly very surprised he hasn't been better prepared. I hope it is just a matter of him entering late and other candidates having more time to get adjusted, organized, and comfortable.

I thought the renovations before joining the WAC made Bobcat Stadium bigger.

Ahh, Kap, how can you not agree that Perry's strength is stump speeches and TV ads? He's avoided debates all these years because he sucks at them. Sanchez crushed him when they got side by side so Perry stopped. Hell he even paled next to Bill White. He gets elected by stumping and media spots.

I'll bet they both are pretty close. Middle of winter, packed in a gym, the noise deafening . . . These kids are on TV constantly, fans can tell you about freshman and sophomores who are expected to make an impact.

Last night I was at our game and was thinking how different it is from my days in Illinois. First off, the town where I teach has a population of 30,000, the football stadium seats 15,000. Tickets are $7, reserved seating. Jumbotron scoreboard. Instant replays. Giant custom inflatables for the players to run through. Sixty or so players on the side with 16 coaches. 30 or so cheerleaders (boys and girls). The marching band has about 80-100. Various other dance and pom pom groups. Everything is sponsored, first downs, red zone, stops, you name it. Away teams arrive in 6 to 8 school buses, often times with custom graphics on the vehicles and a police escort from their town with sirens and lights blasting.
