Well, it would be like Albert Pujols & Jim Edmonds splitting MVP votes during their heyday, while Andruw Jones was clearly the best player on the Braves team. Andruw Jones will get more votes, because Edmonds and Pujols are splitting votes, not necessarily because he's more popular than Pujols and Edmonds.
I thought Edmonds was (censored) done with the Cardinals.

Are there stats involved? If there are, I will need to bow out of the conversation.....

The O'Reilley part of that is hilarious. Nail on the head right there.

This is an excellent point, PP. Anyone remember the privatization of SS plan? Rolling Stone brought this up: Republicans were actually convincing people to finance their own impovershment.
Why we can't get someone with Ron Paul's views on the economy and Obama's views on the environment and abortion in one person is beyond me.
What do you mean?
It just seemed you all were saying the Republicans were hard on the middle class. Ron Paul was for no income tax. Period. Yet, his conservative viewpoints on abortion, guns, social issues, etc kept a lot of liberals from liking him. If he had Obama's views on abortion and the environment, I for one would be in heaven. And, I think a lot of people would be as well.

She sounded good, I agree. She gave a compelling speech. However, it was kind of like Tressel giving a speech to OSU before they play Michigan. It wasn't really hard to get everyone fired up.

Though, yes, she did present herself very well.
