Anyone want to predict the result of the close Senate races? My guesses: ND - Berg ® Heitkamp (D) - Heitkamp MT- Tester (D) Rehberg ® - Rehberg NV - Heller ® Berkley (D) - Heller OH - Brown (D) Mandel ® - Mandel AZ (if this is still close) - Flake ® Carmona (D) - Flake PA (if this is still close) - Casey (D) Smith ® - Casey CT - McMahon ® Murphy (D) - Murphy WI - Baldwin (D) Thompson ® - Thompson MO - McCaskill (D) Akin ® - Akin IN - Mourdock ® Donnelly (D) - Donnelly NE (if this is still close) Fisher ® Kerrey (D) - Fischer If I've forgotten any, let me know.

Why does Rudy still get any airtime? Biden punctured the air out of those tires four years ago and it's not coming back, ever. I don't remember him caring when Katrina happened - was it because most of the people involved weren't white and Republican?

Pat is still alive, as far as I know. She and her husband were at a charity event with the woman who played Ariel Aldrin...that was last year. The show is called Boardwalk Empire. The episodes just aired a few weeks ago.

Thanks. I wish we could see that Rogers role.

Were you into Gary Johnson?

I think he is. Jack Coleman has aged better, but he was so horribly wooden.

Three more clips. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty8cfHvnggA

I'd rather see Al Corley on this mythical Dynasty reunion.

Roles like Rick tend to be overlooked because everyone loves dark and edgy and all the rest. Hopefully even if he doesn't get a ton of attention here, it will lead to something else in time. He's one of those actors I never expected to get a big TV show in the US but I was happy to learn he did.

Voter fraud! http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/11/fbi_jeff_flake_robocalls.php?ref=fpnewsfeed Meanwhile, Linda McMahon, WWF queen and two time Senate candidate, is pushing for the Obama vote. Remember when moderate hero Romney was supposed to be competitive in New England? http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/conn-gop-chair-on-mcmahon-doorhangers-some-republicans?ref=fpblg

Lincoln is a very good actor. If you ever get a chance to see it you should watch a show he did called Afterlife, or something like that, where he played some type of man who was a skeptic about psychic phenomena. The second season

I actually sort of like that "money doesn't give you class...it just gives you money" line. I think it sums these shows up.

I think Obama did try to be conciliatory in his first few years in office - he had been a consensus politician and had only changed that up in the 2007/8 primary. But he was burned, badly, and hopefully he knows that. I think a lot of the people who voted for him are probably disappointed in what he has done or hasn't done or his image or what his image hasn't been. I had no real illusions so I have little hesitation about his reelection. I know that GoldenDogs sees me as one of the biggest liberals here. I don't have a problem with that, but I don't even really see myself as any political label. But at this point there are no other options, there aren't two choices. For me, it's a choice between deeply flawed with potential, and driving off a cliff.

This is a byproduct of many of the leading media voices being Republicans, or closet Republicans - they are in the papers and the TV being "sensible" and "reasonable". There is a nostalgia for old friends like Jacob Javits, Lowell Wicker, Howard Baker, and the days when the elites actually had control of anything beyond their country club. It's mostly a joke at this point. If Obama does win then presumably he won't fall into that trap again, or the "building a legacy" trap. Whether he ever says it out loud or not, his decision to go for the throat, regardless of what the media said, is likely the reason he will be reelected.

Are you happy about the returns? Was Libby still around when Steph went to prison? I wonder if she'll notice Libby's absence. At least this might give Lou more of a role. Did you like his daughter?

There's a theory that some of the hate spread around by 527 groups was done for this reason - to run up the vote in places where Romney was already going to win, but now to make it even larger, so that the media and the GOP can say Obama lost the popular vote and has no mandate (never mind that Bush said he had a mandate in 2004). If Obama wins I don't think it's because of Sandy. It's important to look Presidential, yes, but people expect a President to do a competent job. Only Obama being a failure would have made a difference.

Sorry to hear that.

There's some Carla/Ed in this, I think starting around :42. I guess this was close to the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqo8MsA1D4g&feature=channel&list=UL More here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKj7C4Sk5hE&feature=channel&list=UL

I wonder what Nancy was like as an actress back then.

Maher's an attention whore, and always will be. He's contrarian and hollow. There's a reason he's close friends with Coulter.

This is like a parody. http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/11/obama-vote-revenge-romney-ohio.php?ref=fpa

I think Doris Belack also left because they wouldn't give her a raise.

Didn't they pull one of those "not doing a thing for you so you'll have to leave" maneuvers on her and Nancy Pinkerton around the same time?

Three more of these clips are up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiC6jRgFIxg

That taxi rape story was originally on Brookside, I think.
