I love this one too:

Elvis gave Muhammad Ali a robe That said "The People's Champion" on it that cost $3,000.00... Ali wore it in his first fight with Ken Norton that he lost. He never wore it again.

They were actually more than casual friends...Elvis spent two weeks in Deer Lake which was Muhammad Ali's secluded rural Pennsylvania training camp because he wanted to get away from all the press and fans.

BTW, back to the Beatles... I saw Sir Paul in concert four times.

How do national polls not matter in a general election? DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2015 #85

the popular vote? questionseverything Jul 2015 #87

the nj poll you posted says hillary 63% questionseverything Jul 2015 #89

That's one poll from one state that doesn't even include HRC V Republican numbers: DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2015 #92

So HRC leads by more than 3-1, 4-1 and 2-1 6chars Jul 2015 #30
