Open Thread: Iowa Caucuses Tomorrow
Today's starter topic: The Iowa caucuses are tomorrow and the final poll of the state, released by the liberal Des Moines Register newspaper, indicates Mitt Romney in the lead, just barely ahead of Ron Paul and Rick Santorum in third place.
Do the Iowa caucuses matter anymore? Will you be keeping an eye on the events of tomorrow or are you going to check in once they're all over?

Was watching Houston- State Penn errrr Penn State and the Rose Parade between the advertisements. They advertise more than NASCAR or the NFL. And then there is the advertising of their crummy prime time shows. I don't watch NBC or ABC prime time and very little CBS.

The bar that appears across the top of your screen has a tab labeled "last 4." Clicking on it will show a drop-down menu listing the last 4 stations you visited [the 5th, of course, is the one you're already viewing]. I suggest you first visit each of the stations you want to switch between, then start using the "last 4."

Charlie Weis has been the Gators problem all season. He left and look at how the offense has played. Better that most of the season. Then too he was beating the big uglies, the D & O line, to the training table. By the time they got to eat there was nothing but scraps. Since he left they have been eating better and putting on some weight.

What makes Matthews vulnerable to criticism . . .
Submitted by Galvanic on Tue, 01/03/2012 - 10:56am.
. . . of his metaphors is the fact that he regularly attacks others who use metaphors. He even attacks conservatives for using terms that he himself uses.
Remember his hissy fit over someone's description of the Obama Administration as a "regime?" (It may have been Limbaugh). Matthews went on and on about how the word regime is used to describe Third World dictatorships, and not freely-elected democracies. He accused Obama's critics of wielding the R-word to imply that Obama's Presidency was somehow illegimate.
Days later, he sheepishly apologized when video evidence emerged of Matthews using that very R-word to describe the Bush-43 White House not once, but several times.
Matthews loves to throw metaphors around, but when conservatives do the same, he finds some dark, subliminal message (often racist) in them.
Yeah, I think there were a couple of times he used
Submitted by Jer on Tue, 01/03/2012 - 11:51am.
the term. On the other hand, Limbaugh and other conservative talkers have used it repeatedly to describe this administration. It's become an habitual reference similar to the "liberalism is a mental disease/disorder" mantra.
That said, both of those terms/phrases rank relatively low on the scale of offensive speech, at least imo. I'm not particularly bothered by it.

Regardless of whether you agree with the format, or the sequence of primary events -I do not- it is the start of actual vote counting. That's what selects our nominee.
Does the result matter? Maybe not so much. Huck won in '08. But then again, so did Obama. None of the Republican delegates pledged at the conclusion of the '08 caucuses.
Prediction:
Romney: 26%
Santorum: 22%
Perry: 16%
Paul: 13%
Gingrich 11%
Bachmann 11%
Huntsman 1%

NC – 15 - 285

With 270 electoral votes needed for victory - notice how many of the states are controlled by one or two large cities/state capital (usually large public union). So the strategy isn't all that bad - except for the country.

NC is probably the first state that I could take off the list and some of that is because they are not reliant on a couple of large cities or the capital as their voting base. However, it doesn't change the conclusion that states like Illinois (Chicago) and Pennsylvania (Pitt/Phila) have very strong conservative voters but are overshadowed by a couple of areas of population concentration. For this reason the strategy above has merits for party victory - it is just very bad for the nation as a whole.

The Bucs have fired coach Raheem Morris and his entire staff.
The Colts fired Bill Polian who was VP and son Chris Polian GM. Irsay can't fire Jim Caldwell without Jesse Jacskon, the "Reverend" Al and the NAALCP coming down hard on him. That would be two black coaches in one day. There is a possibilty tha Romeo Cronell of the Chiefs gets the axe. Then it will be on for sure.
Rams fired their coach and GM
Jaugars told their entire coaching staff to clean out their offices and turn in their keys before the end of the day.
Still waitng for the Chargers to anounce that Norv Turner is history and Jason Garrett of the Cowboys getting the heave ho. Really surprised that Shanahan hasn't been shown the door. Then again the day is not over
Irsay says he fired the Polians because of bad draft choices. IMO Bill Polian was one of the great GM. He was not quite on the level with Gil Brandt, formerly of the Cowboys, but he did draft Payton Manning.
