    If it happened, and I highly doubt it will .. who knows who will get picked. But it would be a blood bath between the more left-wing delegates and the establishment. In any case, it is really the last thing any party would want and there is a reason this has not happened in a long time...

    Agree they have a very odd status .. which also pretty much ensures one of the two parties will win 99% of all elections .. down to the lowest levels of partisan elections

    True .. I think a lot of this is academic. There are really 3 options for someone besides Biden 1) He dies .. ideally not 2) He pulls his name, in which case it will be decided at the convention (and he would really need to withdraw before then. Of course delegates will skew left and who...

    Not yet .. I assume he will right before the convention

    the VP debate might actually be pretty important this time around .. generally they are not unless someone does incredibly poorly ... but even then the usually do not matter in the general election. This year could be different, even moreso than last time with the age question of both. There...

    I think each party could put all the names of every elected official, pull a name out of the hat and we would have 2 better candidates

    Yeah, I love this time of year ... Bruins/Sens made an interesting trade today. I kinda disagree with Edmonton coming back ... they have top end talent, but a lot of forwards on the wrong side of 30 and Nurse, while I think an overall good player (despite a pretty poor finals) and his contract...

    I was pulling for Florida, glad they one. But one way or another that was one of the better finals from a pure entertainment point of view in recent memory

    That is quite cool @LooseCannon Best I can do around here would be NAHL, ECHL, and NHL ... but yeah live hockey at any level is fun. In the 80s USIU (United States International University located near San Diego)) for some odd reason, decided to go big into hockey and play Division 1. They...

    The Jagr cermony was well done for sure. Legend On another note. 2 games back 1 goal (another reveresed due to offsides) and 2 assists. Nice!

    I gave the Band on the Run Underdubbed Mix a shot (released a few days ago). Quite impressive and a bit weird (in a good way except I am not fond of the reworking of the track order). Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five is an instrumental (all the others have vocals), but wow is it impressive

    Thanks. I always find arena/stadium selections interesting and there are always a ton of conflicting interests. But I do think it is critical for the longer season sports (baseball, hockey, basketball) to get a facility in the right place. Look at the poor Tampa Ray's. One of the best teams in...

    Hey @LooseCannon Question for you, I read an interesting article in the Athletic about new arena sites for the Senators. Interested in your perspective on this. https://theathletic.com/5236528/2024/02/01/ottawa-senators-arena/

    For sure the odds are slim. Like I said if she has any chance she needs to pull out all the stops and somehow force Trump into a debate (which will only happen if she can get a win soon). The rest of the field dropping out at least gives her a theoretical chance. But it is now or never

    Agree on Haley. The odds are slim as the odds always were once DeSantis flamed put. The main thing she has going for her is it is a 2 person race now and her campaign needs to find a way to capitalize on that. Short of Trump keeling over, she needs to win a state and do it soon. If she gets...

    All good points. I guess though my main point is there are plausible ways both can win With 3rd party, you certainly have Libertarians (my most likely vote) and the Green party. But anyone of note running under "no labels" could be a spoiler. In any case it is incredibly likely there will be...

    I generally agree with what @Mosh said. But a few things to add 1. Michigan, there has been more of a disconnect on UAW and members voting over time. They always endorse Democrats, but that seems to have a bigger impact on state races than national. Also there is a significant...
