Standardized tests are evil.

I think the idea that someone is a Pub these days because of the Dems past involvement in racism, prior to making a 180 degree course correction on that matter, is close to sui generis these days, to be honest. I mean, it is almost literally bizarre, and I say that as  Pub.

They may have made a course correction, but that doesn't change the fact that they did have a past involvement in racism.

And the fact that you would base your party affiliation on that is bizarre, yes. You're proving Torie's point.

How many times do I have to say that it's NOT the only reason I'm a Republican?

It might not be the only one, but it's clearly a major one for you, which is kind of bizarre. Especially considering the Republicans also had past involvement in racism...

True, but it was nowhere near as much as Democrats.  And the Republican party was established for the express purpose of ending slavery.

Maybe Santorum will try to maneuver to run as a faux populist?

Rick's new book makes it pretty clear that is his strategy...

Unless these "missing whites" were going to break 90% Romney, Obama still would've won. So what exactly is his point?

I feel like expansion to 32 is an obvious thing to do- the NFL can support that many teams just fine and it evens things out to stop the constant interleague games for people who care about that.

As I mentioned above, the first choice should definitely be in VA/NC- Tidewater, Raleigh, or Charlotte, with preference for the first two since the Braves do appear to have a bit of a fanbase in/around Charlotte.  Tidewater needs a team the most, and maybe the NBA would be a slightly better choice given their size, but baseball would do much better than the NFL there- it is still R******s country.

As for the second one, I'm more agnostic but the two locales that immediately come to mind are Portland and San Juan.

As for other metros that need a sports team of some sort, San Antonio is the next obvious choice- but the team San Antonio really wants is a relocated Jacksonville Jaguars.
