2008 General Election Discussion Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 31, 2008 -> 10:58 AM) The latest "Obama staffer" email making the rounds on the conservative blogs. Either this is made up BS, or the Obama campaign's internal numbers run counter to what every other pollster is seeing. The comments on skewing the polls don't make much sense to me, because as far as I know the pollsters that do weight for party are basing this on actual registration numbers, not Obama press releases. I stopped when it referred to Iowa as a "true tossup". He'll crush McCain here. I think a better question will be if he's closer to 55 or 60%.

Deal with the Rays?
QUOTE (3E8 @ Oct 30, 2008 -> 10:31 PM) That would be a shrewd pickup for them, he'll be worth 2 draft picks after next season as a type A free agent I'm not honestly sure how that works. That and I'm not totally confident his arm won't fall off.

The McCain campaign is just a running joke anymore. I'm not sure how they think anyone can/will take them seriously.

Besides, the guy you offer to Tampa would be Octavio.

Construction on the cell
The Cell has really come into its own. First of all, it's known as the Cell...... The green seats DO make the place look better, and there's little things such as the fan deck and the fundamentals deck that add to the uniqueness of the place. Then, like we saw during the blackout - and as we've known for quite a while, it's one hell of a home field advantage.

Sox Sign 2B Jayson Nix
Swapping Brandon McCarthy for John Danks may still very well end up being his best move.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 02:08 PM) GOP Homepage... Can You Spot McCain? It's Where's Waldo... without the Waldo Wow, both the GOP and DNC have something in common.... they both love to talk about Obama. I really think McCain lost his grip when the Republicans decided to spend more time talking about Obama than about McCain's policies.

Griffey Jr. not to be re-signed
The move actually turned out to be semi decent with CQ going down. He didn't produce much, but it wasn't horrible.

Not a bad backup policy.

Swisher Analysis
QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 02:01 AM) Good points, I even said I think it's possible Swish rebounds. I just don't like the "bad luck" argument at all. It just doesn't make sense to me. Guys have to have below average years or they wouldn't have average years at all.

AFTER You Vote, Come Here
QUOTE (shaneomacfan @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 05:36 PM) 1 vote for Obama on the Northern Iowa campus, the place was packed! I really expect Obama to CRUSH McCain in Iowa. College students are really getting into it, which is f***ing awesome to see, no matter your party. Political involvement kicks ass.

Current Gas Prices
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 04:31 PM) Not counting the government subsidies, of course It is 2.22 in Des Moines as well. Everyone here gets the Plus blend. It's just what we do. If stations in Iowa list one price, it's for Plus, not regular unleaded.

AFTER You Vote, Come Here
QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 22, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) One meaningless vote for McCain in Illinois. Your vote isn't meaningless. It's just you that has no meaning.

One absentee vote for Obama in Iowa.
