5. Its pretty hard for a democrat to lose in the state of MD, but somehow she did it
Probably one of the worst campaigns I've ever seen run.

6. Didn't she also try to get dodgeball banned in public schools?
My friends in dodgeball club weren't exactly when they heard about that.

7. I think Dodge-ball is history at MOST schools now...
...but it's a local issue, so I couldn't say where they still might have it.

Btw, I was pretty good at it, but still hated it.

8. We played it for fun in high school, hence dodgeball club
I guess different strokes for different folks. Admittedly we played with very soft foam balls instead of rubber balls, but I almost would've preferred rubber since it was hard to get any velocity out of light foam balls. I take the pain to play paintball on occasion, I'll take it to play dodgeball.

10. Light foam balls?!?! Oh, please...
...I don't know how you can really call that Dodge-ball!

Nerf Dodge-ball maybe, but REAL Dodge-ball is played with Red Rubber Utility Balls, preferably the Basketball size ones, the little Softball size Utility balls are dangerous weapons in the hands of a 9th Grader.

11. I think we found the rubber utility balls once
And again I think it's more enjoyable. I'll take the beatings in order to get better throws.

12. Not me, Nerf Dodge-ball sound a lot more fun to me and I bet...
...you don't need as big of an area either.

Do you remember the Nerf Football? It had a sort of coating on it that made it fly better. I think they had a similar Nerf Basketball that would have been perfect for that game, but I don't think that Nerf Basketball sold as well as the Nerf Football, so it wasn't around very long.

Man, I wish I still had that Nerf Football, but my parents made me give it to my Irish Cousin that we visited in Ireland in 1977 when I was 13.
