UW needs to practice their goalline pick play....slot WR just runs to the CB and blocks him, penalty, TD called back, missed FG.  lol

Our "single member district simple plurality" has so many unintended consequences. It inevitably results in a (1) 2-party system and citizens who will vote (2) on unflinching identity rather than dynamic platforms. *And* (3) almost zero voters will find a candidate who aligns with their large constellation of true interests. Instead we fall in line with a party, decide the other party is bad for our family, and tend to subsume all of our party's interests as our own ... including when they aren't.
Yep. We hang on to this idea that each person has "their" representative in Congress, then those representatives go to DC and vote party-line all day long.
A proportional representation system would allow much more room for 3rd parties.

Washington discovered the one red zone play call worse than an undisguised pick play.

Yeah, the nationalization of the parties, as a result of cable news and Newts Deal have done away with that notion, and made the two party system even worse.  I'm cool with rust belt Democrat being pro gun, pro union, pro life or a Pacific Northwest Republican being socially liberal.  Good luck getting any money not towing the party line.
We had a special election to fill a seat, and Democrat who won represented this area well.  Pro Union, fiscally in line with Dems, but also pro Marcellus drilling and pro life.  Considering how Catholic this area is, and how many people are dependent on the drilling industry, that candidate makes sense.  He was only the candidate because there is bo primary in a special election, and he never would have won a nom on that platform.  He was appointed as the nominee, specifically because he appealed to a lot of mods who had flipped to Trump.  Instead now Dems hate him for not towing the line, and the Pro Trump crowd can't stop to realize he's perfect for them, and just see that D and hate him.  It's so sad it's funny.

Update: I have commandeered the sun room, which is quite pleasant with all the rain.  Girls have taken over the rest of the house, but with a minifridge stocked with beer I will hunker down until dawn.

Trying to give my Dad a crash course on working my 3 TV set up.  Going out tonight with PSU, IU and ND alum.  This isn't going to go well.  Anchoring N v Akron for him (which may get delayed) with ND Mich and Bama Lvl on the slot TVs.
