I'm a Chris Sale fan now. Someone has to start the backlash against retro uniforms!

There's always someone always waiting to squash dreams of a blue Texas! But you're probably right. Still, it's a state worth pursuing a long-term strategy.

A few years back Slate (I believe…sorry I'm too lazy to look) ran an article about someone who did exactly what you describe. It's been a standard tactic since the 90s. No idea if the Democrats do the same, or if it is effective at all.

If Atlanta keeps growing the way it's projected to, barring a fit of conscience by Republicans, Georgia could be blue in a decade.

'Nonetheless, I support a rout.'

I admit that I was worried about his abortion record–he did sign some anti-choice legislation in VA–but with Planned Parenthood and NARAL giving him the OK, I'm totally sold. I've voted for Kaine as Senator and Governor, I've always liked him, he walks the walk on civil rights, and he'd be a capable president.

Even though the BernieBros exaggerate her power/complicity/etc, for years everything Wassermann Schultz has touched has been a disaster, and I'll be happier when she goes away. It's a shame because in the aughts she looked like someone with a lot of potential.

Well he could get out if he mans up and faces the sexual assault charges against him

Yeah, but…so what? That's how our electoral system works. Always has. What are you getting at?

You lie, sir. Kansas is Midwest AND Great Plains.

The connection between Trump and Putin is very sketchy and deserves more attention:

The Hooters get paid everytime someone plays 'Time After Time'! What a world.

I always thought the lyric was 'wave-on-the-ocean romance', i.e. as if it were a short exciting fling. But I don't claim to be a Hooters expert.

What does the electoral college have to do with the price of cheese?

I don't think I disagree with this. Would you agree that if there are undecideds nowadays it's between Clinton or not voting (for liberals) / Trump or not voting (for conservatives), not between Clinton or Trump?

?????

Yeah like all defenses of Nader those articles need to understand the concept of 'necessary but not sufficient cause'. They use the usual specious reasoning (what about Democrats who voted for Bush! Gore should have asked for a statewide recount! other candidates!) Nothing presented in those pieces would have been a…

Milton's brief time as a censor (of apparently very limited scope) predates his writing Paradise Lost. Reading PL as supporting *any* earthy governmental regime, including the one that supported him, is almost certainly off base; indeed the poem is more rooted in his disappointment with his allies than his hatred of…

Third parties will always take votes away asymmetrically from one party, the one they're more closely ideologically aligned with. In other words, third parties actually help the party they're opposed to (see: the Greens and 2000). Because of this, they'll weaken the causes they purport to support and will never gain…

Not really. With our two political parties now ideologically sorted, there will always be a stark contrast between the two, no matter how establishment the figurehead running for president.
