Santorum Leads in LA
We received a new poll from GCR & Associates for the state of Louisiana done for WWL-TV showing Rick Santorum slightly ahead of Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.
PRESIDENT – LOUISIANA – GOP PRIMARY (GCR)
Rick Santorum 25%
Mitt Romney 21%
Newt Gingrich 20%
Ron Paul 6%
This poll was done March 8-10 among 515 likely primary voters.
uno
So now we have another southern 3-way?
NOOOO! Rick’s NOT in the lead: Undecided gets more votes than Sancto!
Rant over; see you all tomorow.
Mitt needs to open up on Pope Ricky regarding his union support that would put him over the top
Actually, I’ll leave you with a thought to stir things up;
Mitt wins three Deep South Primaries; LA, MS and AL. I’ll leave Bitter to moderate and prevent a Civil War thread from blossoming out of this. Discuss…
Hopefully, the rumors of Moss signing with the Nine are just that.
You dont want Moss?
I heard today the Nine think Colston is a product of the Saints system and is overrated (possibly true) and that they want to sign Moss
Nope no Moss or Manning, Mfg.
I’m going to philly.
Romney: ‘I’ve Got A Lot Of Good Friends’ Who Are NFL Team Owners
I dont think you can win a title with Alex Smith
Santorum: I’ve Got A Lot Of Good Friends Who Are AFL Teamsters
I know I am preaching to choir in here. But, I wish our fellow Republicans would wake up realize that Obama is weak and can be defeated in Novmember with the right Repbulican…not Newt or Santorum. Mitt can beat him.
I would not sign manning to a fat contract at his age, with 3 major neck surgeries.
I got a lot of good friends that are Drats, like Kookcinich.
-Rube Paul.
Fine lose again w alex smiff. If I go to arizona you’re fogged.
Tina, why did you stop posting as my brother Wobbles?
I would guess his contract will be heavily incentive laden rather than a lot of guaranteed money upfront
Ron Paul might win HI…hahaha…sighhh..good times
Even in a wheelchair I’m better than smiff
NYT: Health Care Act Offers Roberts a Signature Case
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/12/us/health-care-act-offers-roberts-a-signature-case.html?_r=3&pagewanted=1&ref=todayspaper
I thought this was an interesting read to pass along, includes some SCOTUS history…
CBS new national GOP poll puts Santorum back over Romney for the nomination…
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57395194-503544/poll-most-gop-voters-expect-romney-nomination/
We see the problem of voters, they PREFER Rick, but worry “he cannot win against Obama” so they vote accordingly.
Such a bandwagon effect is harmful for the process, I hope Santorum overcomes this since he’s the only serious candidate given Mitt’s stances on Romneycare and support of a national mandate.
Such a stance means he’s lied in 20 debates as Rick pointed out today in AL and it means he should withdraw from the race…
How about Vick’s Dog Killers
Or would that be over the top?

I was thinking maybe “Blow the Levees and Flood Nawlins Again” because it refers to water. Probably not the best choice.
I fat 7 year contact? no.
A fat one year contract? sure
“. Can I really be the coach of the Queen Raiders?”
wear your sweater
Rick Santorum’s new campaign anthem apparently. Not a bad song/video actually.

Dingle, mitt is going to win the nomination. Please forward this communique to your sick delta buddies
How about the “We’ve Won Fewer Super Bowls Than The Saints Shoot Me Jesus” as a nickname?
22
Bwahahahahahhahahahaahhahahaahahahaha…!!!
You should do stand up…
If I go to the desert, I’m taking the birds to the super bowl. Book it.
A shame the Cardinals couldn’t have won in 08 that would have meant a lot to that sadsack franchise
#22…hahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahhahahahahahahah
ahahaahahahahahahahahahaha
hahaha….cough…cough…
..hack….ackkk…uhhh….
..RIP
Tim V will like that song since he reads the the Catholic blogger other McCain and likes Santorum.
I’m just glad he doesn’t read the most annoying blogger who promotes Santorum who also seems to have a crush on Stacy McCain.
Side note, anyone remember the Occupy movement? Me neither.
The Aints will suck again now that their dirty cheapshot defense has been exposed and Brees is going to walk at the end of the franchise tag.
Me and Reid. Why play the games once I go there?
Yeah Brees may be gone, may not even sign the franchise tag, may hold out they should have paid him the $23 million a year
When is Romney going to pull out the pictures of Santorum banging dudes in Larry Craig’s basement to stop him?
It’s been a very interesting last few days here in Bama. The airwaves are saturated with commercials from all three candidates (no Paul) and robo calls galore. Romney and Newt have professional organizations in the state and are using the networks of other elected officials. Romney has been greatly helped by former governor Bob Riley and Newt has been helped by several legislators.
Romney did a very interesting thing today strategically today. He went on sports radio in Alabama today and praised the passion of college football in this state. He commended the Alabama Crimson Tide for winning a national championship which for 75% of citizens in the state is always a good thing.
Santo doesn’t really have this kind of organization or network or at least I haven’t noticed it. And because of this I think he finishes 3rd in Alabama tomorrow. My gut feeling is that Newt squeaks out a very narrow victory over Romney. Alabama is a proportional delegate state as long as a candidate gets at least 20% of the vote. So at the end of the night, Newt may score 1 more delegate than Romney.
I’m gassing up the jet for philly. Btw congrats to jets for extending sanchez for 3 years. an option to avoid the superr bowl for that period.
How come we weren’t more successful as thugs?
We’re supposed to be this gangster thugged up team and we finished what, 30th in defense?
Paul has commercials in Hawaii or so I read. Not 100% sure but I think that’s his focus.
CBS/NYT Poll: By 57% to 36% Margin, Americans Support Exemption to Birth Control Mandate http://bit.ly/woMw1E
Your boy is sending out mailers in LA Acroso
Pro life stuff talking about him delivering babies, pretty good stuff actually…
Brandon, thank you for your accurate assessment of polls/delegates by state you have been providing this blog. Much appreciated. And yes, good song by Santorum’s daughters. With that said, Go Mitt, let’s eke out Mississippi, that should bring the fat lady out to sing if it happens.
#42, please don’t continue that thought. I don’t think my heart could handle the stress that would result from the ensuing hilarity.
Intrade thinks Newt will sweep both southern states
Thanks Bama Bo, now we need a Mississippi update from someone. I can help with Nebraska, but this thing better not last until May.
Moss just signed with the Niners.

Without the bounties they would have been 32nd. Would Brees really hold out? What’s the tag worth -$15 million? $$20 million? That’s a lot of guaranteed money to walk away from when your main talent in life is throwing a ball.
Welcome redneckman, I find politics and the math behind it fascinating.
Not at the expense of the salary cap.
Better receiver to get would be the Pittsburg receiver. He is top notch, the rest are overrated has beens.
#45, those weren’t Santorum’s daughters.
You’re right, Intrade is big for FatToad getting AL MS
If Pope Ricky gets third in each I guess that’s OK
I think I will throw up now with that info., Brandon.
49.Moss just signed with the Niners.
I set the over/under at 6 games before Moss is cut for dogging it and only playing when he wants to play.
Saints offered him $18 million a year for three years he wants $23 million, months ago I heard he wasn’t going to sign it
He may hold out, the fans will back him 98%
I wonder why the South likes Fat Toad so much.
Moss to the Nine…
Maybe that means we keep Colston? Hope we can keep Colston, looks like Nicks is gone, we can’t pay him
I was surprised the Saints worked Moss out, they don’t like malcontents
Apparently we prefer premeditated criminality instead…
Its so predictable, I told you that they want the Stanford TE, Coby Fleener. He is projected to be where they pick.
The ccoach was a 3 TE set for selectedd running plays and red zone.
One year deal with how much?
We tried this last year with the NY Jet reject.
Could have made it more entertaining and brought back TO.
Some really vulgar Romney sound bites added to Romney sound board. Would make for some interesting robocalls
Saints are going to be lynched for what every other team does
Ever notice how Vick gets hit late over and over and over again?
They’re all trying to injure him
So why don’t the refs call it?
They don’t like him…
The harbaughs overachieved. They will nort be relevant next year w smiff. And rthe rams are coming soon.
The Nine in ’11 reminded me of the Saints in ’09 both had big years because of their enormous plus margin in turnovers, hard to do that two years in a row
Um vick runs around bc he can’t throw. Duh. So he gets hit. I don’t run. San frran is a joke. I’m not going there
However, Papa said what might bother 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh is Moss’s lackluster practice habits and his indifference to blocking.
With the 49ers run-first emphasis, Moss might only be a part-time player with the 49ers and that might not sit well with him. However, Moss would be great in the team’s big package when extra linemen are brought in
Papa is the voice of the raiders, one of moss’s former teams.
Randy Moss is a cancer on a team
Your only hope is he can keep his inner demons in check for one year to get a ring
Maybe he can who knows…???
The risk is not worth the reward imo.
With that said, Tinareports is reporting before ESPN that Alex will sign by tomorrow’s deadline. Contract agreed.
Vick gets hit late EVERY time
Every team is trying to injure him, that was my point
Its football
Its a thugged up game for animals (I’m not saying that as criticism)
Smith better sign ASAP
Does he even have a plan B if the Nine dont want him?
Yeah, look at the Pittsburg receiver, the one that is cut or got cut, Ward. How many cheap shots to the DBs. I would have put a bounty on him if I was a Defense Coach. Knee injury.
brave new wrld anyone?
http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/03/how-engineering-the-human-body-could-combat-climate-change/253981/
How Engineering the Human Body Could Combat Climate Change
One human engineering strategy you mention is a kind of pharmacologically induced meat intolerance. You suggest that humans could be given meat alongside a medication that triggers extreme nausea, which would then cause a long-lasting aversion to meat eating.
Your paper also discusses the use of human engineering to make humans smaller.
What are the various ways humans could be engineered to be smaller?
Liao: There are a couple of ways, actually. You might try to do it through a technique called preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which is already used in IVF settings in fertility clinics today. In this scenario you’d be looking to select which embryos to implant based on height.
In the paper you also discuss the pharmacological enhancement of empathy and altruism, because empathy and altruism tend to be highly correlated with positive attitudes toward the environment.
In your paper you suggest that some human engineering solutions may actually be liberty enhancing.
Taking a look at this from the perspective of deep ecology—is there something to be said for the idea that because climate change is human caused, that humans ought to be the ones that change to mitigate it—that somehow we ought to bear the cost to fix this?
MFG, your former Defensive Cooordinator looks like a nut. Now, we must deal with him twice a year.
I am shocked at how apparently blatantly the Saints did this though
I want to hear more details
If they were actually paying bounties for injuries and that was explicitly stated they should all be fired Loomis Sean Payton Greg Williams all of them
I also do not buy the head coach’s or the Brees’ statements that neither “knew about it.”
I’m pretty sure the Rams will fire Williams Tina
I should revise my statement, I do not believe the Head Coach, brees still on the fence, but leaning that he might have known something, but at the same time, he seems like a good sport.
But who know/didn’t know – does not tarnish the SB win in any way.
In ’09 the Saints unveiled that “blitz every play” insane defense and I thought OK we have to do that because we have no defensive talent
But in ’10 and ’11 too?
And apparently the model was we can’t tackle or defense passes so we will injure you?
Ugghhhh
We have tarnished the title won in ’09
Very sad
Williams and payton are going to be suspended. And probably banned.
I wrote #83 before I read your #81 Tina
People are pretty bummed about this here…
Defense and offense “live separate lives” as they go about preparing for each game
But Brees probably knew of the existence of the program if not all the details
Why did Sean Payton let it continue though thats what surprises me?
Mr Benson is 85 and not a hands on owner I’m sure he didnt know
Do not feel bumbed, I undertand why you could though, or others in your city. But you won it fair and square, despite what happened/did not happen.
Payton is going to be suspended. Williams is done in the nfl. Book it
Yes, I agree #90
Thanks, Tina!
Glad too that you are sticking with one handle, it was kind of hard to follow at times, but pretty funny at the same time, MFG.
Payton should be banned too. Jury is out as to whether he will be.
doh
ben flajnik selected courtney robinson on the bachelor
NFL admitted after the game that they should have overturned the Saint’s interception of Favre late in the NFC Champsionship game because of an illegal hit to Favre’s knee in an attempt to cause an “Unhappy triad” injury to Favre.
Stepping back, the deficit is still showing modest improvement this year.
For the first five months of the fiscal year, the government incurred a budget deficit of $580.8 billion, $60 billion less than the deficit recorded during the same period last year.
The White House last month forecast a deficit of $1.33 trillion this fiscal year than ends Sept. 30, compared with $1.29 trillion last year.
Seems like the first paragraph is in conflict with the last paragraph.
I’m still pissed that daddy is perceived as a loser and namath and griese are in the hall. Like daddy wouldn’t have won in miami
Night gang, going dark tomorrow.
Yeah Acroso but I watched the game film a couple of nights ago and a Viking pile drove Brees into the ground classical illegal hit right in front of the ref and it wasn’t called in a key fourth quarter possession in that NFC Title game
Met Archie Manning once
Hell of a guy
I’ve never heard anyone here say a bad word about him, ever
Archie Manning sucks!

Makes sense now, Nine couldn’t get Colston settled for Moss
Cutlerettes to get Mario?:

****************************
That was not a statement that had anything to do with race, was it?
So Obama is cratering in the new NYT/CBS poll too eh?
My condolences to The Nine for landing Randy Moss.
Even though he is from WV and played at Marshall Univ., my hope is that he was adopted and not a natural born WV native. Please don’t judge all WVians by the foolish actions and behavior of Randy Moss.
Looks like Rush is going down
108 based on what?

Not sure if jan is right about Rush going down but this seems a serious step by Clear Channel.
113 He has 600 stations how many stations have dropped him and how many sponsors have dropped him?
it is completely normal and crrect for advertisers to run away from controversy
plus, ethically people should punish someone who calls a woman a slut fr no reason … he deserves to have his hand slapped
those who say that maher or others gets away with it should organize a boycott of hbo or whatever the offending channel is

this is funny…they get Newt in on it at the end.
Some of the posts I have been reading here the last couple of days are quite humorous. Some here live and die with these poll numbers. When the President is up, they’re ready to throw themselves off a high structure. When he slips back, they are ready for Mardi Gras.
Chill out, folks. It’s a marathon.
