If Obama isn't on the ticket i think the Dems will lose a big part of their voting block.

And I think he should be on the ticket

I heard something about it. She couldn't get closer because Obama was trying to hear what someone was saying. With all the applause and confusion going around, Hillary could move any closer to the Senator. I saw it on CNN and it was explained

Thank you, Tishy!

Have a little fun to see what would happen if you voted today by taking the quiz below.

Let me know your results and if they match who you are more than likely to vote for."

My answers best agree with Mitt Romney. That doesn't suprise me.

Personally, I don't give a damn what the color or gender someone is.

I vote for the person.

And........I'll say it once again. Hillary is NOT unstoppable. Devoted, You can think that all you want to, but at a time earlier when she has a double digit lead in the polls, she now only leads by 6 points and it is shrinking. And, like others ahve said, she is doing it to herself. What those two say publically doesn't matter one bit. It's what the voters think......and right now many of them are seriously turned off by BIllary running a ruthless campaign.

Now......Devoted, if you want to believe that she is a show in for the White House, go ahead.

I just think you may end up with egg on your face with the was she's acting right now.

You know, I am a girl and just because I have already voted for Hillary once doesn't mean I would do it again. I vote for the person and the issues. Not the gender or race. Hillary or Obama making it to the White House is hardly a sure thing. And I do not thing they will be on a ticket together. I can see Richardson as the perfect VP candidate for either one of them.

Reagan was quoted many, many times stating that he would never have George Bush as his running mate. He was all ready to announce former President Ford (who had only served one term) as his runing mate. I think you know the outcome. Nothing is ever a sure thing, especially in politics.

I don't get why the GOP have given up trying to win this powerful voting Block over?

Did they ever really start? 4 years ago they courted the Black evangelical crowd because Bush was desperate for allies in his marriage amendment scheme. That agenda is useless now, so they've gone back to the stance of cutting taxes for their rich cronies. That crowd isn't exactly darker than a paper bag.

I took the quiz on VoteChooser.com and my first choice was obama, then edwards, and then hillary.

And...I'll say it once again. I said she and Obama together would be unstoppable, not her herself.....the earlier comments about her having it in the bag are not the same as unstoppable

That's your opinion, my friend.I happen to strongly disagree.

And......what is the difference between having it "In the bag" and being "Unstoppable"?

January 31, 200817 yr

Member

The difference is one is about a guarantee whereas the other it is a given...I guess I just see it as different and you do not

January 31, 200817 yr

Member

And I think that's where we see it different.

Becuase I do not it a given or a gurantee that she or her and Obama will be unstoppable.

And that same political attack machine that folks are bragging about is the same thing that is turning people off.

Well we both agree that Bill needs to stop the attacking because it can very easily cost his wife the black vote...I think she is out here in California in San Jose and I was invited to see her. However, I already saw her speak in Oakland and San Jose is quite far from me so I will pass

Honestly, whoever the GOP nominee is better be ready to be criticized up the wahzoo (I guess I should have said criticized rather than attack with Clinton vs. McCain) since the Clintons can easily put him in his place...and they almost always come out the victors

Hillary is the last one that many feel can put McCain in his place.

She has skeletons in her closet as well, so don't think that she is not above being slammed herself.

I'll wait until November before I start saying who is guranteed to win this thing.

Go Laura! Loved her finally having the courage to stand up to Leslie. The Anita/Eva scene was nice too.

Now that makes sense. I do feel the Ronnie story only existed because of ES. You could take that entire story out and absolutely nothing change - except for Laura asking Martin to move out. Even that rift was healed the next time they were together (debate night). I kept wondering, who really cares who gets the Q Estate, compared to all the other stories that had been sidelined just to fit that in.

Ahh I see, ok makes sense... not that I like it, but that makes sense haha.
So that makes me wonder - when Kate Mansi directed Tuesday's show, does that mean she only directed a few of the scenes that episode and not all? Makes me wonder how the directing/writing credits get assigned in that model.

I just found out (from a reddit post) that Robin Strasser returns on February 16, 1993. That soon. I can't believe my time with Elaine is ending. It's soooo disappointing to see her go after all she's done with and for the character. She WAS Dorian. Being center stage almost half of 1992 makes it hard to believe they are replacing her. The character grew so much - facing Blair and Addie/going back to her childhood/re-experiencing past trauma. I wish I could read an interview from that time to understand her feelings after leaving. If one even exists.
I've been watching the German 1980 episodes and enjoy RS's Dorian... A LOT... she does have a different energy. RS's Dorian feels more pretentious and self-absorbed (and a little bit adorable)... while EP's Dorian was darker, moodier, a bit like a broken bird... I like both. Of course a lot of these impressions are influenced by the writing for the character and not only the portrayal. I can't say which is better, but I connect more with EP's Dorian. Maybe I'll change my mind when I start watching RS in English. (I can't judge properly when it's dubbed over in german.)

The show is assembled from taped scenes out of order and the episodes recreated like a puzzle. So B and C stories, and ones not featuring pets or Frank’s personal favorites at that time, get dropped for weeks sometimes, or get shoehorned in as an afterthought. It did not used to be so obvious, and it is slightly better at times now. But it’s been a pattern for awhile now.
As has a bored Valentini interrupting the flow of stories and changing almost everything quickly, dropping months of plots/couples and often never returning to them. The fast pace they were running on when Rory arrived as the recast really covered the seams a lot too, but something changed with the Ronnie story and Britt return as far as momentum, so we are seeing more of the cracks in the way they assemble the show.

Yep - she acted on GL for a year in the early 80s.

Lois Kibbee (Geraldine Saxon) wrote for The Edge of Night while on the show.

I'm noticing there are some issues with follow-through/up on this show. Like Ric being drugged/tortured by Alexis/Ava - after all that, we just sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn't happen? Same with Ned's heart attack - I guess this was just a fast plot point to move other things along, but we're not really supposed to care how he is? We haven't seen him or Olivia since he got to the hospital...
Otherwise, there are fun things I like about the show. It moves quickly, so it's not boring like others. The sets are amazing, and they have so many... probably the best I've seen in current times. Great acting generally.

For the purposes of this thread I think this is cool information to have compiled, but not quite the same as actors that fully transitioned or wrote for other characters while also still acting in the show. Although I know Rowell was instrumental in stories too, and Bill Bell had a lot of respect for her ideas.
I mean Finola/Tristan/Kimberly improvised whole scenes, rewrote dialogue, etc. Tony Geary was famous for this too. And as I said earlier, Geary and his writing partner wrote two story treatments that GH accepted and used with the writing team to develop them. The Luke & Laura returns story, and the horrible Cassadine Endgame, which Geary said had virtually zero in common with what they presented and sold to ABC. Genie Francis came up with the idea of a baby Laura left behind that Wendy Riche and Guza used later on.
Wasn’t Megan McTavish a performer on soaps before she wrote as well? And I just recalled that Pam Long wrote and acted on Texas when the show was winding down.

I’m not gonna lie today was pretty good! Gina dragging Phyllis for the filth she is and Nina and Amy (glad to see her mix it up with more people) making it clear how much they detest Cane for everything! I even got a laugh over Esther being the culprit of the mums being sent to Christine to cause her allergic reaction.

Has Patty Weaver retired from singing IRL? My heart sank a little when Gina said she was a former singer. I guess I was kind of hoping she was gonna serenade them like she did at their first wedding with “starting here, starting now”
