How?

No he doesn't. Doesn't what?

Does the Basestar...err, excuse me BaseSHIP (bleh)...hybrid count as one of the 12 models? I want one of the last 5 models to be Dirk Benedict.

I don't think "In Living Color" was that a big hit, though he and Damon Wayans did pretty much carry that whole show on their own.

???????

Did Jericho get hurt/injuried everytime he was up for a major push?

What kind of idiots would vote for someone just because their father used to be president?

Okay, some of this is a week old, but I didn't feel like giving Charlie Cook any money for the new stuff. Senate House Governors Time to start phoning in those predictions, kids.

I'll admit Studio 60 can be a bit pretentious, but that by itself doesn't make it a bad show the way the article seems to be claiming. During "The Office" the other night they did show a commerical for Monday's episode.

I almost said Bob Graham, but even though he's never lost an election in Florida, I don't think he'd have helped any.

I still can't beleive how big of a hit that movie was. I saw it on video a while later and remember thinking it looked like it should have been straight-to-video.

The Daredevil director's cut was a pretty good movie.

Well, one good thing that will come of this: John Kerry will probably never run for president again. I was one of his biggest supporters in 2004, but now he's joined Ted Kennedy and Hillary as the RNC's auto-pilot punchline.

Win the South? I thought John Kerry was supposed to be smart. The man was running for president when he couldn't have gotten reelected to his own Senate seat. We all know Edwards wasn't really Kerry's first choice on the list, but he shouldn't have been on that list at all. Gephardt, no. But, Clark? Not really, but the general could've at least stopped the bleeding. I mean, the Republicans might've eaten Clark alive with his "I'd have been a Republican..." joke from years ago, but I think hed have faired far better going one-on-one with Cheney than Edwards did. Kery could've also picked any number of Democrats that (crazy idea) hadn't just spent the last 6 months running against him.

The problem with using a quiz to figure out your political affiliation is that you might have extreme views on both sides that average ut mathematically and make you seem like a moderate. Having said that: Economic Left/Right: -4.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08

How do people from the St. Louis area say it? They're typically the only Missourians you ever see on TV. Kansas Citians say it the right way.

This is so stupid. The Republican interpretation of Kerry's comments only made sense if there were a draft and a college exemption. We have an all-volunteer army, for fuck's sake. No one is going to end up there if they don't want be.

^Sarcasm?^ I'm still mad at Kerry for picking Edwards as his running mate. Terrible, terrible decision. Reagan was the oldest. Harrison was 67 in 1840. Reagan was 69 in 1980.

Hell, no, Dole couldn't have been re-elected. Let's say that Clinton's affair became public in 1996 instead of 1998, and Dole won. Nobody actually wanted Dole to be the president. There were people trying to get him to promise he'd only serve one term (besides Jack Kemp). There'd have been enourmous pressure on him to make way for someone else 4 years later. They were already grooming W to take over even back then. Bush vs. Gore was inevitable. I don't think Bob Dole ever came out in favor of the flat tax, but a 15% across-the-board cut.

I get the feeling had Katherine Harris not been born rich and discovered politics, she'd be doing three shows a night at the Shady Lady Gentlemen's Club.

One of Dole's biggest promises was to balance the federal budget by the year 2002.

There's nothing I'd love to see more than the patent to the cure for cancer being owned by Pfizer. More than just the medical industry would benefit from the reseearch, so to say that its purely the medical community's problem to find the money is absurd.

That doesn't even make sense, because the kids at Pasadena City College aren't going to fuck up the whole world like Bush did by blowing off school. I'm thinking at worst, they rob a liquor store. Kerry should outsource his Bush-bashing jokes. I'm sure there are plenty of dorks with blogs who would jump for that. No one is denying that the joke Kerry screwed up wasn't already screwed up in the first place.

You seem to remember that time period very differently than I do. The GOP was not that pessimistic at the time, although that last comment seemed to indicate you agree Dole wasn't someone you'd put at the top when you want to win a national election. It didn't help at all that Dole had to run against both Clinton and Perot, but Dole couldn't keep up with either one of them in terms of inspiring support and articulating a vision. Like I said, Dole scared all of the actually competitive candidates out of running. We have no idea what kind of campaign Carrol Campbell, Jack Kemp, or Pete Wilson would've run, but Dole was NOT the right candidate for that year. The nation had just suffered through the messy government shut down. Congressional Republicans took the blame for that debacle, and the Congressional Republicans over-played their hand in aftyer the 94 election. Having a Congresional leader as your party's presidential candidate was just a bad idea. Dole articulated no vision, no plan, and no reason to vote for him. Conservatives didn't trust him to cut taxes, moderates were put off by the fact he still seemed to think it was the 1950s. His World War II service was a distant memory compared to Clinton's coming-of-age in the 1960s mindset, but other than criticizing Clinton, that's all Dole could talk about. You also have to consider it would have been the first time in American history we'd turn back a generation for our leader. Bob Dole was also a terrible vice presidential candidate back in 1976, but for different reasons.

She's not the incumbent. I mean, how did she even get elected to the House of Representatives? Nevermind her going for the Senate, how did she even win a rep seat?? 2002 was a good year to be a Republican, and there were probably enough people who were grateful she helped cost that awful Al Gore the presidency so Bush could eventually unite us after 9/11.
