So people stop asking, the "Bi" in my username is a reference to my love for the two greatest collegiate sports programs in the world, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Marshall Thundering Herd.

Look, if the republicans can bus people in, make them wait in the cold, then not let them leave their assigned area to use the bathroom or give up and go home, we should at least be willing to do as much.

Not sure we should be aspiring to mimic the party that is routinely referred to as "insane", "war mongering", and "xenophobic".

Similar but I think there's a different motivation. This is more similar to Christine O'Donnell's "dabbling in witchcraft" thing. Evangelical Christians like to have a narrative around their born again moment, and the more sinful you were before, the better it sounds. Boring white girl -> "I was a witch". Boring black guy -> 'I was a thug'

Maybe some context would help: Trump was in and out of here yesterday with no equipment set up or noticeable press arrangements, and he spoke after filing to maybe a hundred or so people. Fiorina came and went earlier this morning with a sad parade of 20 red shirted partisans.

Sorry to waste your time with this picture. Is there a minimum amount of people you'd like to see, so I'll know whether to post something later today?

"Why can’t West Virginia be known for some sort of crop or harvest, Justice asked, like Napa Valley is for wine? Why can’t we grow the world’s greatest tomatoes?""

He said he sees a “real possibility” of coal jobs coming back in large numbers.

But he also stressed the importance of a diversified economy and said he’d support President Barack Obama’s POWER Plus plan, a multi-billion dollar proposal — with little support in the Republican-led Congress — to help coalfield communities move toward new industries.

“I’d say take the money,” Justice said, before hedging. “Does that mean that we transition away from coal — you know, we say we’re going to move away from coal and everything? I think that’s a real mistake.”

Justice denies the scientific consensus that climate change is happening and is caused by human activity.

The swing vote is in serious decline.

quote:

Political professionals in both parties, from Matthew Dowd to Dan Pfeiffer, have noticed the withering of the swing vote. A new paper by political scientist Corwin Smidt (via John Sides) documents the decline of swing voters, or (as many political scientists call them) “floating voters,” which means voters who pull the lever for a different party than the one they supported in the previous election. From the 1950s through the 1980s, 10 to 15 percent of voters floated between the two parties in presidential elections. Recently that rate has fallen to about 5 percent:

If there are so few swing voters left though, then it seems that it doesn't make much political sense anymore to move the center, as you'd be better off motivating your base.

I think as a defensive Bernie supporter hr was assuming you were taking a swipe at Bernie with a picture of no crowd, instead of the thing you were actually doing which was posting a picture of stuff being set up.

We have recently marked the 20th anniversary of the assassination of then Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, a good friend, a courageous warrior and a great statesman. This somber anniversary, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington on November 9, is an opportunity to reaffirm the unbreakable bonds of friendship and unity between the people and governments of the United States and Israel.
