Yesterday, Hillary Clinton won in New Hampshire. A state that carries 4 electoral votes. 4 electoral votes total in the final process. CNN covered it like it was the biggest thing in the world. I'm not really sure what I'm trying to say here because I've deleted this sentence 8 times already. In a nutshell though, I watched the last race very closely because I felt it was very important. I felt the 2004 Presidential race was a referendum on George W. Bush and his decision to go to war in Iraq despite about half of the population being against it. I wanted the USA to say that they did not approve of decisions that placed troops in danger without truth to the public. I pretty much declared our democracy dead after that election. Our nation is just too big. Half of the people don't even vote, but just flutter around in this country not caring about our leadership because their vote really doesn't matter. In the case of the primary, you don't matter unless you live in New Hampshire and Iowa. That is disturbing. Let's be honest. Last race, Howard Dean ran a brilliant campaign mobilizing so many disgruntled, apathetic Americans only to lose one race in Iowa that led to this
http://keithjaranovic.wordpress.com/ RB Defense Seattle @ Green Bay (-7)….PICK: GB I'll say it right now. I love GB. I love them enough to say I think they are going to the Super Bowl. That's right, the Super Bowl. Their offense is explosive. They run and pass well. Donald Driver is one of the most underrated big time receivers in the game. Their defense is good enough to beat most teams.
Jacksonville @ New England(-13)….PICK: NE… The Pats are just too good and everyone is hopping on the Jacksonville bandwagon similar to before the Buckeyes game when Lee Corso put on the Brutus Buckeye head and Herbstreet and another guy picked the Buckeyes. I knew for sure that's when it was all over for OSU. New England is the best team in the country and won't disappoint at home.
San Diego @ Indianapolis (-9)….PICK: SD... Norv Turner looked like he won the Super Bowl last week. It might as well have been because he's not winning this game. Even though LT is my favorite non-Browns player because he cares enough about his team to emotionally break down in public and because anyone who tries to fight a NE Patriot is a friend of mine I fully expect the Colts to win here, but a rusty Colts team wins a close one because they decided to pack it in against the Titans and break Cleveland's heart. Karma is a bitch.
New York @ Dallas (-7.5)…PICK: DAL…. Eli has one under his belt and I love the NY Giants defense, but Dallas should run this team over. Moreover, there has been so much crap on Tony Romo and he has been waiting an entire year to get redemption in the playoffs for a botched snap last year.

Enjoyable post Mr. Ice! A nice range of topics, and after reading KJ's blizzog your references to his opinion were very pleasant to read. Now that I sound like Mrs. Karberg, (7th grade English at memorial)I would like to comment on a few quick points. My political views, though limited, are very similar to yours in regards to young republican now wondering who is going to run this country next. In regards to the Browns, I feel that though Romeo Crennel does have the players believing, the fact that he is happier then fucking Barney kind of scares me! The QB situation is as tough as it gets but I am not sure that I believe that Brady Quinn has never been good....so trading DA is very dangerous. Lastly, college football does need a playoff, but no other team in college football proved they deserved to be there anymore than the Buckeyes!
