9. It was a joke, I'm Methodist. Maybe notorious for too much mayo salads.

16. We're watching you Protestants closely
Garrison Keillor was just mentioning the "Lutheran terrorist" contingent in Minnesota on Prairie Home Companion.

It doesn't matter though. As non-catholics you're all going to burn in hell for eternity anyway.

5. Probably a lot of those people were
Edwards supporters ripe to be won over to either side. Edwards was the leader in the polling here in Texas, from what I could tell. Our primary is still a month after Super Tuesday, and never really figures in to the selection process as a result.

13. Isn't the BMW crowd the Barack crowd?
SMU is a prestigious university, very well-respected. I believe they fought the * library being planted in their midst.

I was working during the debate, but if it's a youthful crowd, that's also Barack's demographic.
The right wing also hates Hillary. If they showed her a preference, that's amazing.
