Kyle Sucksworth is better

So much for that push. Guess Taker nixed the program. And THANK GOD for that. You'd rather have Taker go over guys who could actually contribute good matches to the active roster? I'm just happy to see Heidenrape being put back down into the card. I think that was off camera since Taker is you know dead and all

The problem is that Trump is not there when they do the tasks. He can really only go by what George and Carolyn tell him and the Boardroom. Pamela had a horrible boardroom performance ('We tied') and that's what really hurt her. You can screw up but if you can put together a compelling argument- Trump will save your ass

Of course the funny thing is that I LIKE Boston a lot and they're my favourite AL team. But of course the usual suspects ignore that in favour of bashing me even though have no idea what they're talking about

I know- I don't really expect anything better from you.

Not that I'm bitter or anything- Reitsma, Chris (Address Removed)

::Waits for CC to make a point:: ::Still waiting::

That singles match with Taker was't really memorable. It was just Taker kicking the shit out of him for 20 minutes until Jeff got the miracle comeback. TNA is taking a damned chance with this PPV and it's going to fail miserably. TNA sucks- accept it and move on

And I was commenting on how it seems like everytime I watch Boston play NY you think they can pull it out but always come up short. At least the Braves just lose

At least the Braves have won the World Series in the past 85 years

When am I gonna learn to not trust Boston?

That's the Red Sox for you

It's one game dude. Jesus

I bring a putter and a ball and just use a bag as a hole and just play it on the street. It's kind of hard since the street slopes downhill and there's tons of people but it's an easy way to pass the time. If you think I've almost gotten hit by many cars doing golf- you're right.

I don't think anyone but DH is truly outraged. But you can't deny that it's a very stupid thing for Edwards to say and shows his weakness as a Veep candidate.

I wouldn't do it any night it was supposed to be disgustingly cold- because that's just not worth it. I've waited all night in December and January though. In shorts no less. It was fun.

I play golf, talk to friends, wait for the cast for a few hours and mostly just make jokes and think of new ways to get in trouble. You can leave the line for 2 hrs so I'll usually go and eat dinner for a while. Time goes by really fast even though it can get rough from 4-7 am.

You have to email NBC in August for tickets and if you win they write you back. I forget if I sent away this year. Assuming you didn't win the lottery you can wait in line for standby tickets. It requires camping out overnight although since more people are getting in you probably don't have to wait that long. I still wait 12-20 hrs just because it's so much fun to do.

It's Reeve btw. The quote wasn't taken out of context- that's the whole point of the controversy. We don't know what stem cell research could do and for Edwards to say that is incredibly stupid and makes him look even more like an idiot.

I only go a 3-6 times a year b/c of school. I'd go every week if I could. Even though there is nothing like seeing a live show- I love the dress rehearsal. Everyone is looser, you see stuff you'll never see on TV and generally the show is funnier.

The crowd seemed dead in live. In dress they were uncomfortable but then started laughing. I was dying the whole time

Ewww- don't gay up an SNL thread with that emoticon

UPDATE 10/8: Before the first debate President Bush had settled into a 5-6 six point lead in the race as measured by the RCP Poll Average. Since the debate, the national polls have tightened considerably and heading into the second debate tonight the RCP Average shows President Bush holding a small 1-2 point lead. It is only logical that we are now seeing Kerry's movement in the national polls carrying over into the first post-debate polls at the state level. This tightening of the race prompted us on Tuesday to move Iowa from Leaning Bush to a Toss Up, and on Wednesday to move Ohio from Leaning Bush to a Toss Up and Pennsylvania from Toss Up to Leaning Kerry. There is no question that the situation for Senator Kerry has improved dramatically in the last week. From an Electoral Vote standpoint, however, he is still facing an uphill battle. Our earlier analysis suggesting that the race basically boils down to Florida and Ohio stands. However, it looks as if the aftermath of the hurricanes may have given President Bush a decisive edge there, so in reality it is now all about Ohio. If Kerry doesn't win Ohio he will not be President. On balance, President Bush still holds the better Electoral hand because the evidence is massing that he has successfully moved Wisconsin into his column. Because of the very real potential to win Wisconsin, Bush can now lose Ohio and still have a reasonable chance for victory. The Ohio/Wisconsin swap garners Kerry 10 Electoral Votes and, using the 2000 results as a template taking into account reapportionment, that would leave Kerry the winner, 270-268. Because the U.S House of Representatives splits all ties in the Electoral College, Bush likely only needs 269 votes to be reelected. Geography more than anything else gives Kerry the slight advantage in New Hampshire which moves the Electoral tally to Kerry 274 - Bush 264. So if Bush does lose Ohio, but brings in Wisconsin, he will have to swing FIVE Electoral Votes to win. President Bush has four different scenarios through which he could gain these votes. The best bet right now looks to be Iowa's 7 Electoral Votes where two post-debate polls show Kerry ahead by one, and a Democratic post-debate poll shows Bush up 3. (Minnesota is also a possibility, but the truth is if Minnesota goes for Bush, Iowa will already be in the President's column.) Scenario number two is to win New Mexico's 5 Electoral Votes. Right now, the post-debate polls there show a dead heat, Gallup shows Bush up 3 while the Albuquerque Journal has Kerry ahead by 3. The next target is New Hampshire's 4 Electoral Votes and the 1 Electoral Vote available if the President can carry Maine's 2nd Congressional district. Post-debate NH polls show Kerry ahead slightly and a post-debate poll in Maine shows Kerry would win the state, but if the election were held today Bush would probably pick up 1 Electoral Vote by winning CD2. The last shot for the President to grab those needed 5 EV's comes from Oregon, though in all likelihood if President Bush ends up in a position where he needs Oregon's Electoral Votes to get reelected, it probably won't happen. All of these different options depend on the President holding on to the rest of his 2000 states, which in this type of election scenario seems likely, though Nevada could be the one state where Kerry could steal back those 5 Electoral Votes. The one post-debate poll there shows Bush leading by 4. Bottom line: Kerry has effectively used the first debate to get himself back in the game, but he continues to remain at a structural disadvantage in the Electoral College. The quartet of Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa and New Mexico could be where this election is decided. If Bush does have a hold on Wisconsin, then even if Senator Kerry wins Ohio, he will also have to win both Iowa and New Mexico to deny Bush four more years. (Pennsylvania and Florida are must wins for Kerry and Bush respectively, a Bush loss in Florida or a Kerry loss in Pennsylvania means the election is over.) From realclearpolitics.com

I'm a glutton for punishment-

RCP has it Bush 264-220. Kerry's gotten some momentum- but not much
