You Repubs are sneaky! Gotta watch you fellas. 80% of the poor had air conditioning. I bet 70% worked for what they owned. [/quote] Just 70%? Shouldn't the other 30% work for it as well? [/quote]Not in our type of system. The system is geared towards having the poor remain below a certain poverty level. [/quote] While I disagree with that point for the most part, I fail to see where that's relevant to the question. -

Ryker PickEM Season Standing

[quote name="NHS1990" post="1050818" timestamp="1315342376"] [quote author=Mr. Buddy Garrity link=topic=8y7813.msg1050774#msg1050774 date=1315339026] Grad, was that the Wos team that went undefeated but loss first round? [/quote] You may be thinking of their 1989 season when they went 10-0. They were ranked #1 in the state, and lost in the 1st round. That's the same yr PNG went to the Quarter finals and lost to a5m Cons. In the Dome. [/quote] PN-G's one regular season loss that year was to WO-S. And 1989 wasn't the only season where that was the case.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1048941" timestamp="1315101930"] Could be a blessing for Obama if Perry wins the nomination. Could be the added fuel needed to help the President win in 2021 ;) [/quote] Dove, this election's going to be based on the economy. Perry, Romney and almost any other Republican win in that area hands down. By the way, I looked up Lichtman. His analysis is... interesting. [Hidden Content] To be honest, I don't see how he can give points the way he did. He says there is no serious challenger for the nomination of the incumbent party. I agree with him there, but I wouldn't throw that point in Obama's favor; many democrats that showed support for Obama in the '08 primaries have said that they should have gone with Hillary, so I wouldn't be so quick to give him a point for that (not saying that he doesn't clearly have the nomination, just that there's some unrest in his party). I also think his incumbency is going to work against him as it traditionally has in a poor economic climate, so I wouldn't give Obama that point, either. Lichtman's "undecided" point, the influence of the economic conditions, is one I would put solidly in the Republicans' corner, whether Perry or Romney wins the nomination (both have better job creation records than Obama). I also think the major policy changes will work against Obama, so there's another point deduction. As for social unrest... well, I have mixed feelings, but I'll be fair and leave that point in Obama's corner. As far as foreign affairs failures, while there's been no outright failure, relations with Israel have all but collapsed, China is not very happy with American spending (which, like it or not, is on the Democrats) and our relations with Russia were very shaky for the first year and a half of Obama's term (they still aren't great) - that's another point deduction, in my mind. The last two (charisma of incumbent and challenger) should be switched in my mind. Perry and Obama are both charismatic, and Romney isn't exactly boring. So, my score, [b]based on this criteria[/b], is 5-4-4 with Obama in the lead, but not by much. With each passing day, Obama's approval rating drops and the Republicans gain momentum. Given a year, I think the pick for the 2013-2017 term is going to clearly be a Republican (I'm thinking Perry, personally), if it isn't already (which is a bit of a stretch). -
