25. You're not allowed to post more than 3 - the software stops you
It also tells you what your three threads were, and when you can post again.

28. I'm guessing 1 of 3 things
1. Hacked away at the software.
2. His locked thread was mistakenly wiped clean from his thread count.
3. DU did away with the rule without telling anyone.

Either that, or EarlG is fucking with us. :D

10. cross posting? HRC did not get a double digit win in PA...
didn't break 10%!!!

She's hasn't beaten obama by the same margins he has beaten her in the states that he won.

I believe Obama has LARGER victories than Clinton overall.

8. Clinton must take 804 out of 1400 to win, that's just 57%
She hasn't taken 57% in any village yet, but it's still possible.

learn grammar. Specifically, you need to concentrate on subject-verb agreement. "Fans is" sounds like something Dubya would say.
