kelpdiver 2 #4 December 30, 2013 quade What is mind boggling about this is some (crazy) people seem to believe by doing this it signals his getting ready for a US presidential run. Uh . . . they might want to look at some polls. http://www.pollingreport.com/2016.htm Polls taken 3 years before the election are merely suggestive. Aside from the false presumption that Hillary will get the nomination, any polling now is with the damage from the government shutdown. It may not tarnish him in 2 years if he can successfully convince Iowa and others that it resulted in a better budget. Whereas the never ending enslaught of attacks on Benghazi (which will make the Swift Boaters look like quiet nuns) have yet to start on her - they will do damage. I'm not sure the other Democratic hopefuls would broach the subject, but the GOP ones will be running against Obama's record, and by extension, her's. 2014 is the year where new leadership can emerge from both parties. Lord knows each of them badly need some. Otherwise it's going to be the most painful election ever for us all, esp for those poor fucks in Ohio.

freethefly 6 #6 December 30, 2013 Had my hopes up for a second there . You should had put Canadian citizenship in the header. What a tease you Canucks are. Oh well, back to testing rail down here in the wasteland known as Texas. At least, I am out of Laredo. Hebbronville tonight. Not much better. Maybe Texas will recede and Cruz can be El Presidente of the Wastelands and all will be good again. Oh, one can only dream!

Connecticut? Ohio is just the largest, along with Florida, of states that have been up for grabs in the past few elections. Each go to California and Texas and get as much money as they can, and then they go spend it in those states. Though now that DVRs are in a majority of homes (and esp voters), I bet that's poorly spent money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #13 December 30, 2013 AndyBoyd If you insist on drinking Miller lite, yeah. There are lots of outstanding American craft beers available across the USA, even in the Tuscon area. http://noblehopspub.com/ The past decade or so has been a spectacular improvement in widely available good beer from the small, but no longer micro brew makers. Lagunitas, Racer 5, Anchor Steam (well, long been around), Sierra Nevada... There are still places where I find my choices are BudMillerCoors/Lite/Palladium or Heineken, but not nearly so often as before. Ironically, with the mass consolidation of beer brands into just a couple companies like InBev and SAPMiller and Diageo, the quality of the stalwart international beers has declined, particularly at InBev where profit growth has trumped the beer itself. At this point I'd sooner trust an American bottle than an imported (or locally produced) foreign one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
