Where's Brad Boyes when they need him.

Interesting move by Obama to say Trump won't be president. Could he be trying to rile up Repubs to further support Trump and throw another wrench in the Repub primary?

I worry about how he got in such a predickament, and why he isn't seeking immediate medical attention.

The Repubs said they won't let it get to a vote, so after Obama nominates a moderate and they're not given a fair hearing, Clinton will nominate a more liberal judge, and the Repubs will wish they accepted the first choice, if they even control the Senate next year.

The longest a person went from nomination to confirmation was about 3 months. Obama has 11 months left. The Repubs say let the voters decide. They did when they elected Obama for 4 years, not 3. The Repubs are big on following the Constitution. They can vote down the nomination if they want, but to not even have hearings and a vote would be abrogating their Constitutional duty.

You have to consider that Risto and Gorges are probably getting the most ice time vs other team's best players, along with more TOI.

Some of the debates have had audiences made up of party doners. Since Trump doesn't take doner money, he's at a disadvantage with the audiences who financially support the other candidates.

White House has indicated that they will be nominating a replacement, while Repubs want to wait until next president, of course. But the longest Supreme Court confirmation process from nomination to resolution was Judge Brandeis, at 125 days. Obama has 342 days left in office.

The one possible name I heard is Sri Srinivasan. He was an Obama appointment to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and got 100% approval by the Senate. It would be tough for Repubs to claim he's not qualified after they all approved him.

The Republicans will probably block any nominee Obama selects. Another reason why it's imperative that Clinton get elected. We can't have another conservative on the bench for decades.

Maybe the Stamkos camp is pushing the possibility of going to other teams to drive up his price.

But he's starting to get Robio syndrome; a one-note candidate. "Bernie, how will you improve race relations?". "Wall Street bankers!".

Paid for by the Oregon occupiers. "Hey, we need a new hobby, and now we have Internet access".

Buffalo is one of the teams that has the most cap room next year. I would love them to sign Stamkos just to see the Toronto fans go crazy.

I'll have to disagree, as do most of the pundits. Sanders was off balance in the end when Clinton pointed out his criticisms of Obama. You could see he was rattled and getting mad. And of course Clinton ran against Senator Obama, not President Obama. Whereas Sanders called for a primary opponent to run against President Obama in 2012. It's all about showing who has had Obama's back, given that he still has high ratings among black voters. And in that respect Clinton scored a TKO. .

Sabres should have signed LeSean McCoy to go after Gudas.

I thought conservatives believed in redemption. Born again Christians often sinned before they were saved. Maybe they would have preferred a hard core actress.

True. You said you registered to vote, not that it was a primary. I thought you meant general election. My mistake.

For those that held out hope that Kasich would be a reasonable moderate, your hopes have been dashed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/ohio-slashes-13-million-in-grants-to-planned-parenthood/2016/02/10/ba9df212-d036-11e5-88cd-753e80cd29ad_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-cards_hp-card-politics%3Ahomepage%2Fcard The Ohio legislature moved Wednesday to cut off $1.3 million in public health grants to Planned Parenthood in a closely watched vote that could have repercussions for the surging presidential campaign of Gov. John Kasich ®. The bill, which cleared the Senate last month and passed the House on Wednesday, prohibits the Ohio Department of Health from giving state or federal grants to organizations that conduct or “promote” abortions. Kasich, who placed second in the Republican primary in New Hampshire on Tuesday, has said he would sign the bill. The Ohio bill ... targets state and federal programs addressing HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, infant mortality and other problems. Planned Parenthood receives a large percentage of that money every year to administer the programs across the state. Under the new bill, the organization would be barred from administering those programs because of its role as an abortion provider. A Kasich spokesman said the governor plans to sign the bill, calling it a fiscally responsible move. You don't have to belong to a party to vote in elections, just registered to vote. If you registered as a Republican to vote, somebody gave you wrong information.

So you want to be a mischief maker and interfere with the decision process of real Democrats who are committed to the party.

So is there any practical application of this knowledge that it can be applied to? Not being a wise guy, I would like to know.

In the debates he has attacked Kasich's statements about the Ohio economy doing well by saying Kasich got lucky that Ohio got rich on fracking. Perhaps Trump would try to mend fences (huge, beautiful fences) by choosing New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez which would check off the woman and Hispanic boxes.

I can multitask.

Watched 'St. Vincent' starring Bill Murray, about a curmudgeon who has to deal with new neighbors (mother and son) who have their own issues. His performance reminded me of Walter Mattheau. It will make you laugh and make you cry.

Marty Biron this morning talked about Justin Bailey, and he used the phrase 'called up' 4 times. Didn't use the word 'recall' at all. So who are you going to believe, Marty or the internet?
