So, tell me again why Blacks and LGBT vote Democrat and the Rich vote Republican? How are they not "normal?" Why won't Republican states just get rid of welfare and medicaid?

Good analysis. Only bad presidents like Reagan and Clinton used the teleprompter as often. We need good presidents that GW Bush who looked like a buffoon on the teleprompter and had to use index cards.

Have you figured out why the polls are wrong?

No doubt the new anti-ref push start on talk radio. Good luck with that.

This is why I rarely listen to sports radio. Embarrassing and lame.

If a only the Bills had a GM that made good picks.

It's a sin to compare Marv Levy to Isiah Thomas in any way, other than they both worked in sports.

Dolphags? Really?

I hope this is the loud, obnoxious minority.

As the Bills enter a new season trying to break the umpteenth year streak without a playoff appearance, I continue to be dumbfounded by the comments some fans make about Marv Levy. I could throw around words like "disrespect" or question whether anyone who downplays his fantastic contributions to the Bills could still be a real fan. I could rattle off word after word listing his tremendous accomplishments. For example, in the 90 year history of pro football, the Hall of Fame has only inducted 21 coaches. 21. And only two who became a head coach after Levy (Joe Gibbs and Bill Walsh). Instead, I will say why I love the guy. It's simply because he makes me proud to be a Bills fan. Fans talk a lot about winning a Super Bowl before they die, I hope Marv gets to see it as well.

Yeah, it's not like he was voted into the Hall of Fame. Wait, they put THAT guy into the HofF? I get it, in the 90 year history of pro football they must have let in, what, 200 coaches? Oh, 21? That's it? That can't be right, even Bills fans say he's a loser.

Don't disrespect Marv.

Perhaps not that sophisticated. Maybe Carrot Top?

I will take 8-8 . . .

Let's re-phrase - he replaced Trent with Fitz, he replaced Jackson with Lynch, we didn't have any LBs better than Kelsey and Johnson, he tried Levitre at Center and cut Merriman when he could not play the 4-3. Feel better?

So great

It is a waste of time to engage anyone who truly believes Obama is a socialist/Marxist. The same would go to debate anyone who says Bush was a fascist.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this topic degenerated into a debate as to whether Obama is a socialist. Do you guys read your posts? Pretty embarrassing on both sides. Once posters use "townhall" or Mother Jones to back up extreme ideological views, it's a good indication that this isn't the forum for a rational conversation.

Well, after you trashed Nirvana . . .

You mean the guy who proposed what voters dislike? It is interesting that neither Romney nor Ryan mentioned it today.

Totally different dynamic.

Ah, the old "faith in the electorate" comment. Oh, please. Anyway, Connie Mack called Ryan's budget "a joke" and Ryan's proposals are/were very unpopular in FL. Thats just reality. But, hey, there is time turn it around but I wouldnt be surprised if Obama's folks feel a little easier about FL.

Agreed. Florida could be toast, and perhaps NC? I'm very curious about the Romney strategy. Obviously, they now have WI as a must get and I assume the same goes for Iowa, but I wonder how else they think Ryan could get Romeny over the top. Guess: CO, NV, VA, NH as well. I suppose they assumed Portman would not get Ohio, which would have been a much easier way to 270.

No one should use individual polls as each has characteristics that push results one way or the other. Gallup has a good rep among experts (R&D), while only GOP partisans use Rasmussen for anything other justifying their viewpoint on message boards. It's best to aggregate all the polls and weigh them based on histrorical data. See Nate Silver's universally acclaimed 538.com. Only the partisan left and right want to dismiss/praise Silver's work to suit their narrow worldview.

I seem to be in the minority, but thought most of the analysis was spot-on and criticism of his "inaccuracies" are mostly-nitpicks (that most of on this board have said the same exact things. - Fitz (who I like) is a decent QB, but not a franchise player with elite skills. His lack of downfield accuracy IS a problem that opponents have exploited. - Fitz's limitations ARE compounded by a mediocre receiving corps. I actually like most of the WRs, but not one is a great talent at their position. - The OL is good, but the best players have been hurt, we have a rookie and a few others who are OK. A lot could go wrong. - Spiller did split out wide. Not sure why the writer is beat on for that observation. - Gilmore IS more comfortable playing off, and the it would make more sense to have Byrd favor his side. Nothing wrong with that. - Mario is a superstar, but he HAS a history of injuries (keeping fingers crossed) - I have faith in Anderson, but he did disappear between his rookie year and last season. We should watch that. - The linebacker corps is just OK, there are many threads on this board complaining about it. BTW, Scott is a strong safety moving to LB on the pass. - He does praise the secondary, and his evaluation of each player seems spot-on. If the Bills struggle, I think this article would have been a harbinger of what held them back. However, it is encouraging that he is upbeat about the Bills and predicts a 2nd Place finish.
