Only a million? Paladin Jul 2013 #31

I'm from Arizona, buddy. Don't give me your crap. I would say the same thing about Arizona Nanjing to Seoul Jul 2013 #37

Yes, I'd expect AZ to be flippable sooner than TX Rstrstx Jul 2013 #49

On what objective measure is the 6000 too few and the one million enough predicated on? LanternWaste Jul 2013 #33

So going back to why I was saying. . .I'm glad Davis might run. It would be nice if she wins Nanjing to Seoul Jul 2013 #57

Maybe not an out-and-out win at this point. Paladin Jul 2013 #58

I'll just be happy with Perry gone in 2014, even if it's to a moderate-moderate right candidate Rstrstx Jul 2013 #50

TX has lots of teabaggers but also lots of women and minorities who can carry Wendy over top wordpix Jul 2013 #61
