The bookies have team blue up by just 3 points going in so it should be a close game. :rolleyes:

Word on the street is the game is fixed. :D

Just so that I can prepare myself, are we going to get daily updates here or just a single weekend update? In the Republican convention, everyone wanted to watch Trump and here, no one wants to hear Hillary. :D

And to save you guys from any further embarrassment, I will not comment on this convention till it is over, so Bob and Ice can rejoice. :)

Fixed in that Clinton trounced Sanders by four million votes and 380 pledged delegates? ;)

No fluff anywhere in that line up. Also lots of unity with the Sandernistas. ;)

Considering that so far the word on the street has been dead wrong should we be worried?:)

DWS won't be gaveling in the convention.

Hopefully this will mollify the Sanders folk.

The odds simply represent the preference of the betting customers. Bookies set odds according to that.

donquixote99 07-25-2016 01:06 PM
Good prime-time lineup. Will watch.

I'll give 5:1 that Sanders does NOT tell voters to 'vote their conscience,' instead of endorsing Clinton.

That would be very valuable information, if we were....

Watching it on C-Span. Pretty cool so far. :)

At least, there are no fist fights or farting, yet. ;)

bobabode 07-25-2016 06:04 PM
Another way to watch the convention live online. Enjoy! :)

If you have cable, you have C-SPAN.

Pio1980 07-25-2016 07:14 PM
I don't have cable or satellite.

How can you boo Al Franken? And then Paul Simon? I think the Berniacs are out in the beer line, waiting to drown their sorrows. Philly has a bunch of good craft beers. They'll be fine.;)

bobabode 07-25-2016 08:20 PM
The lovely Sarah Silverman is on the Hill train! :D

Unity be happening, kids. Get on board. ;)

I'll be in the bar car sipping a good bourbon and twisting up a fattie. :cool:
