<p>Let's go back #Baseball in the Shout Box for a while, what say. And #Politics in the dedicated areas ... even though I threw a quip in there too. Some amigos just come here for the #Baseball. :- ) Just my $0.02.</p>
<p>As someone who doesn't follow #Politics very closely, and am just getting into the primary season... Can someone explain the "Gang of 8" issue? Sounds like an old western :) Did he hold up a bank at gun point with 7 other senators? I have seen several references to it, but no one ever explains what it was, the articles just expect you to know...</p>
<p>(1) No #Baseball going on (2) Exciting #Politics right now (3) millions of words we've shed on #Baseball, vs a few thousand on #Politics, still way catching up (4) a remarkable set of members exchanging ideas with each other (5) no place else on the internet to roundtable peacefully (6) none of the above (7) all of the above</p>
<p>Back in the golden age of ESPN...when they cared more about entertainment than #Politics</p>

<p>Well, I'm only 65/35 that Smith is an M on Opening Day. Here we are agreeing on 95% of everything but spending our time talking as though we were miles apart. Ever run into that in #Politics? ... :- )</p>
