Boy is it getting ugly.
As democrat candidates lose ground, they become more desperate and vicious. Wendy Davis has already derided Greg Abbott for being in a wheelchair and now she slides right into the gutter:
Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis earlier this month was pilloried in the press for her attack ad that prominently highlighted the fact that her Republican opponent Attorney General Greg Abbott uses a wheelchair. Davis took her attacks to a new level on Monday by strongly implying Abbott would support an interracial marriage ban, despite the fact that Abbott is married to a Latina. But less than three hours later, Davis again topped herself by forwarding an attack on Abbott about an unlikely issue: dildos.
In an emailed press release, Wendy Davis For Governor passed along an article from progressive magazine The Texas Observer entitled “Greg Abbott: Dildos? Against ‘em. Interracial Marriage? No Comment.” The piece attacks Abbott for his supposed reluctance to say whether he’d defend interracial marriage and his defense of Texas’ ban on the sale of sex toys.
Meanwhile, the Kay Hagan campaign has pumped out some campaign leaflets that suggest should she lose the election Barack Obama will be lynched:
The race in North Carolina for Senate is well on its way to being the most expensive Senate race in history, expected to top $100 million by the time it’s over. The contest between incumbent Democrat Kay Hagan and Republican challenger Thom Tillis is also turning incredibly ugly.
Churchgoers in Fayetteville returned to their cars Sunday to find a political flyer on their windshield — which is to be expected 16 days before an election. But this flyer was different from the normal “Vote for candidate X” or “Oppose ballot question Y” fliers people are used to. This flyer was a picture of the lynching of a black man by a white crowd with the words “Kay Hagan Doesn’t WIN! Obama’s IMPEACHMENT Will Begin! Vote in 2014.”
Both campaigns seem to be disintegrating, but the Hagan campaign puts on the front page the contempt it has for the intelligence of black voters. Both she and Davis deserve to lose. Badly.
BTW, the mainstream media has little to no interest in any of this.

@Redteam: USE YOUR NOGGIN College Football What’s your count? I’m 9-1 USC only loss–you missed Wash, Ok. St.,Minn. and Va. Better luck next week.
I’m classic Liberal not Progressive Thanks
You also missed the KC-Giants game.
Isn ‘t college footballl commonly referred to as NCAA football? CFL, I think is related to Canada. If you were a conservative, you would know that.
As in Socialist-Communist?Wikipedia defines classical liberalism
That is CERTAINLY not classical liberalism. In fact, exactly the opposite. Classical liberals believe in ‘the government is everything’, they have all the rights, individuals have none. No individual freedom, except for the right to murder babies and holler ‘racism’. That’s about it.
@Richard Wheeler: next week I’ll pick a bunch of ‘gimme’ games like you did this week. The only questionable game for you was USC-Utah and KC-Giants and you blew both of those.
@Redteam: I picked 3 underdogs to win UNC +6, Ga Tech +3 and LSU +3 Went 9-1 Probably beat everyone in your fantasy league. You went 6-4 with your favorites Minn, Ok St. and Va. losing—pretty poor performance. I had Giants to win and I have them tonight.
You google definition of Classic Liberalism then disregard and make up your own definition.
Must be tough being you with your head on a swivel all the time.
Enjoy the game.
@Richard Wheeler:
that was the Friday baseball game we were picking. You blew it.
That’s because it was written by a Classic Liberal and bears absolutely no resemblance to the truth. Why do liberals write a definition of liberalism that has no resemblance to reality and then claim to be what they are not. Why don’t you just admit what you are. A Socialist-Communist that wants free handouts from the government and wants to take away all the constitutional rights that we presently have. If you’re gonna be that, at least be man enough to admit what you are.
Semper fi.
@Richard Wheeler:
I don’t play in a fantasy league.
Rich, I have to get to bed early tonight, would you leave a comment on who won the WS game tonight.
@Redteam: Your depiction of me in 155 off base and insulting. You may not be in a fantasy league but you seem to live in a fantasy world.
Giants win game 6– 5-0. I believe Giants the better team and Bum the clear MVP.
@Richard+Wheeler:Sorry for hurting your feelings. Which part didn’t fit? You said you are a classical liberal, I just pointed out what classical liberals are and believe. I didn’t invent the term or the meaning, just have lived long enough to know that America is a better place than to be ruined by the invaders that believe in being supported by the government and a government that is delighted to be given lifetime benefits of free handouts. You are certainly free to change your beliefs, that’s what the country is all about (that liberals don’t like or agree with) If you think being a ‘classical liberal’ means something good, tell me what that is.
Agree that Bum is likely MVP, believe KC the better team. You ever see any team get all the way from the wildcard playoff to the WS without losing a game? This is first time I remember it happening.
@Redteam: This week’s 10 college football picks with 3 upsets included. Notre Dame over Navy
Penn State over Maryland
Auburn+3 over Ol Miss upset hope I’m wrong
South Carolina over Tenn.
USC over Wash. State
Arizona + 3.5 over UCLA upset
Miami over N.Carolina
Va. Tech over Boston College
Duke +1 over Pitt upset
Ga. over Fla. World’s biggest cocktail party
Good luck
@Rich+Wheeler:
to keep it even, I’ll pick the same games,
Notre Dame over Navy Same
Penn State over Maryland Same
Auburn+3 over Ol Miss upset hope I’m wrong Ole Miss to upset Auburn Note: Auburn is the higher ranked team.
South Carolina over Fla. I’m taking SC to defeat Tn.
USC over Wash. State SC
Arizona + 3.5 over UCLA upset Ariz to win, not an upset they’re higher ranked
Miami over N.Carolina Same
Va. Tech over Boston College Same
Duke +1 over Pitt upset Duke, no upset, Duke higher ranked.
Ga. over Fla. World’s biggest cocktail party Ga.
@Redteam: I have South Car over Tenn.-see #160 above.
You took 3 odds maker upsets and made them favorites lol You do live in your own fantasy world . Only difference you got is Ol Miss to win? So you jumped (your word) 9 out of 10 of my bets?? That was easy.
How bout W.S game 6
W.S. game 7 if necessary
Bonus football N.C. State vs. Syracuse
Iowa vs Northwestern
Va. vs Georgia Tech
Army vs Air Force Navy will beat both and win Commander In Chiefs Trophy.
Utah vs Arizona St.
@Rich+Wheeler:
It hadn’t been edited at the time I copied it, obviously.
No I didn’t. I’m not a gambler and don’t even know which team is the ‘odds makers’ upsets. If I understand it, they give the points to one team to make them dead even. If both teams are rated as ‘dead even’ how can either one winning be an ‘upset’. If it is, the odds maker was wrong.
You added 1 point to favorite Duke and with that one pt call an upset over Pitt. Baloney, Duke is already higher ranked without the point. So ‘heads up’ who do you pick in the Duke game.
Are you calling all the games only with the odds attached are all heads up? It’s not clear to me.
obviously since KC is going to win series, I take them in both.
where did I use that word? I didn’t make any bets, but I did do 10 picks. Now if we are both correct, then you would expect all 10 to be the same. Do you want to change some of yours so they’re not the same as mine. Also, take those odds out so I know who you’re really picking. Why do you think you need to give Auburn 3 points to be even with Ole Miss? Are you saying that if you don’t get those 3 points, you’re taking Ole Miss? I’m not giving points, so you need to take the points off and make ‘heads up’ picks.
@Rich+Wheeler:
if you have time, explain how that works. by adding even points, the game can still end in a tie, can’t it. Don’t real odds makers give 1/2 points on all games so they can’t be a tie?
Let me run through this one more time, if I understand this: “Auburn+3 over Ol Miss upset ” you’re saying that to take Auburn, you need 3 points to be even with Miss but with that 3 points you think they will win over Miss. So if the score is Auburn 18(+3) Miss 21, then it is a tie. So Miss has to win by 3 points or more for you to lose your pick? I’m picking Miss straight up, no points, to beat Auburn.
On those other games, I’ll look at them. You’re not gonna pick til I do so you can choose the same ones I do?
@Redteam: I recall you are not a bettor so don’t understand the role of professional odds makers. It’s a huge “industry.” They determine the favorites not you or I. They set the spread which would theoretically make the game even.
My 10 picks straight up to win are clear. Our only difference is I picked Auburn straight up and you picked Ol Miss–
I believe you accused me of jumping your bets last week. You don’t recall? Actually I made a few separate picks which allowed me to go 9-1 vs your 6-4.
How bout your picks on 5 bonus games I listed? May provide additional differences.
No pick on game 6. Will bet big on Giants if it goes 7—May see Bumgarner in relief if needed.
@Rich+Wheeler:
Soooo, you’re saying….if you pick, you want to pick the winner and you don’t want to pick against SF? I understand.
go ahead with your 5. I’ll list mine.
Rich, here are my 5.
FSU over Louisville
Miss State over Ark
UCF over Conn
Baylor over Kansas
Nebraska over Purdue
@Rich+Wheeler: 165
Nope, but I won’t accuse you of ‘lying’ or being ‘wrong’, I’ll just say you are mistaken.
@Redteam: You picked 5 big favorites -I agree. Will route for Louisville at home and Arkansas to pull the improbable upsets.
@Rich+Wheeler: No, you don’t get to pick those. Pick the 5 you listed earlier. I did what you did last week, picked the favorites to pad your win numbers, trying to catch up with me.
@Redteam: Whoa RT Last week we picked 5 of the same games GaTech vs Pitt Both had Ga.Tech—revised
N.C. vs Va. Rich win
Ariz. St. vs Wash. Rich win
Ol Miss vs. LSU Both had LSU For the Gipper
USC vs Utah RT win
Rich 2-1-2(ties) revised You said you disagree with total RW 9-1 RT 6-4 HOW SO?
5 BONUS PICKS TO WIN Syracuse
N.W.
Ga. Tech
A.F.
A.S.U.
@Rich+Wheeler:
at’s right, and then you picked 5 gimme’s.
What a memory! then we both picked the Fri WS game as a tie breaker. I won it, you lost it making count 9-2 and 7-4 but then by the time you add the W/L’s from week before, I’m still ahead.
@Redteam: Where are the previous weeks picks located? I don’t recall the outcome (revised) but I remember you complaining about OK’S missed F.G. What thread and #’s please so we can review as we did this week. Thanks
Football separate from baseball. I got Giants you got Royals.
You say I picked 5 gimmies last week. Is that how you learned to pick your 5 gimmies this week? Who you got against my last 5 picks–any changes?
@Redteam: Any luck locating those picks you said we made. Would like to review them for accuracy. Thanks
Your statement that they cumulatively put you ahead of me smacked of hyperbole. You know how we feel about that.
@Rich+Wheeler: No, don’t remember which thread they were on. We need to keep all future ones on this thread so we don’t lose track of them. I looked at the thread about Columbus, but it’s not on that.
Rich, got any predictions on the WS game for tonight?
oh, that’s right, you picked SF, right?
Rich, I see that SF has Hudson scheduled to start. I guess that extra 30 minutes rest time for Bumgarner is important enough to concede the series over.
If Bum doesn’t start, SF won’t either.
@Redteam: As scripted. Bum incredible So was Panda MVP in any other series.
Football There were no picks on 18th. Prior to that you mentioned how well you’d done but I never participated. This week OL MISS vs Auburn only difference–so current F.B– RW 9-1 RT 6-4. I made 5 additional picks–you wanna pick against them?
W.S Remember I posted no pick in 6 big on Giants in 7. Great series Congrats to the Royals.
RACE FOR THE SENATE 5 DAYS OUT
Current R-50 D-45 5 undecided
N.C Kay Hagan D think she holds
Ga Nunn D close loss
N.H. Brown R popular moderate R upsets incumbent Sheehan VERY CLOSE

Will make final prediction Monday
Prediction Repubs take Senate 53-46 one INDIE revised
@Rich Wheeler:
I never found any for you. I did the College Pickem as usual that week. That’s when I missed 2 out of 10
No, they seem to be teams you are familiar with that no one else ever heard of. Why don’t you just pick on those 5 I picked.
LOL, if you picked anyone in game 7, then by default you had think your team was gonna lose game 6.
@Redteam: Syracuse vs N.C.State Northwestern vs Iowa Georgia Tech vs Virginia ,Air Force vs Army .Arizona State vs Utah. You never heard of them? Who you kidding?Thought you a fan. Make your picks. I did pick against your 5. We’ve got one different so far.
SEE # 165 I said no pick on game #6– big on Giants IF it goes 7. Seven went EXACTLY as planned, Classic Should have waved the runner home in the 9TH with two outs and Bum on the mound.
@RICHARD+WHEELER: YYoou have not made any picks on those 5. I made 5 separate picks. You picked 5 games you feel comfortable with, I picked 5 games I am comfortable with. As I said, I made and published my picks, now make yours.
@Redteam: What? My 5 are in #171. Why are you having so much difficulty with something so simple.
Note Your 5 picks all big favorites. My 5 have one underdog –Northwestern and 2 slight favorites ASU and Ga.Tech—Would you agree any fool can pick 5 big favorites straight up?
@RICHARD+WHEELER: You have a chance to pick against my five—Otherwise they won’t count in our totals. Good luck.
@Rich+Wheeler:
5 BONUS PICKS TO WIN
ok, that was easy. You picked my 5, I picked your 5.
edited to Iowa at 10:29
If ASU/Utah game were at Utah, I’d take them. but home field adv.
@Rich+Wheeler:
160 Let me be sure I understand your picks:
You’re picking Auburn (no points)
Arizona (no points)
Duke (no points)
correct?
@Redteam: Actually my picks in #171 Northwestern to upset Iowa—we now have 13 the same-2 different.
I’ll take W.V. to upset T.CU. You?
Current FB RW 9-1 RT 6-4 good luck
@Redteam: Correct All picks are straight up—no points.
@Richard Wheeler:
Nope, sticking with TCU
@Redteam: OK Now 21 picks 3 disagree
Current Senate RW 53-46-1 RT 56-44 Final revision by Mon 8PM EST.
@RICHARD+WHEELER:
I will agree that anyone can pick anything. Getting them right is a different question. So you picked all 5 the same as I did. If you get one wrong, you’ll have missed 20%.
@RICHARD WHEELER:
You can go ahead and call Orman a Dimocrat. He’s always been one. I’m counting him in my 44
Rich, tote board for weekend.
Scoreboard
Out of your 10, you missed 5
Penn State lost to Md
SC lost to Tn
Ariz lost to UCLA
VT lost to BC
Ga lost to Fl
on my 5, you missed 1 (anybody can pick these 5, remember)
UCF lost to Conn
on your 5 you missed 3
Syr lost to NCSU
NW lost to Iowa
WV lost to TCU
On Pick’em I missed 3
OLE Miss lost to Aub
Or State lost to Cal
Ariz lost to UCLA
I missed 3 of your 5
My conclusion, we are both lousy pickers. Better not bet on our picks.
@Redteam: I could say on my 16–including WVA VS TCU you missed 7 including 6 0f original 10 and I missed 8. On your 5 big favs we both missed big Temple upset.
RT 13-8 RW 12-9———agree pretty poor.
2 week totals RT 19-12 RW 21-10
@Redteam: Correction UCONN UPSET–NOT Temple
Remember of total 21 picks only 3 were different and you got 2 I got 1–Auburn.
Wanna predict Bama vs LSU final score?
@Richard Wheeler: I’m picking LSU to win, mainly because I want them to. Also they are at home and hard to beat at home. I’ll go with 28-24
@Redteam: Another case of I’ll be rooting for LSU but picking Bama 31-24. How bout K-State over TCU 45-34.
Felt bad for that great OL MISS receiver hurt on potential winning reception. A great game. I’m picking Oregon to win it all and their Q.B to edge Dak for Heisman.
@Richard Wheeler: I’ll take TCU over K State. Yep, broke leg and dislocated ankle, only about 6 inches short of a winning TD.
@Redteam: Senate Final Putting N.H Back in Dem column.
Ga. will require run- off– decided in Jan. R win then. So tomorrow.
R 51 D 47 1 indie (Kansas) 1 run-off ( Ga.)
After Jan run-off in Ga. R-52 D-48 assuming Orman caucuses with Dems.
Vote early and vote often.
@Richard+Wheeler:
They only allow Republicans one vote in Louisiana. Dimocrats and Dead get to vote often. Also the Senate race in La won’t be decided until December. They don’t do it by party in La, all Senate candidates run in one pool. If someone gets over 50%, they are elected. If not, top 2 are in runoff in December. There are about 6 candidates in the race. I’m voting for Maness tomorrow then Cassity in December.
Final senate count 56 R 44 D counting the Dim/indy as a Dim. Don’t know counts but there will be more Repub House members after election also.
I’m also betting that all dead voters will be voting Dim.
