  8. - A guy - Wednesday, Apr 15, 15 @ 12:24 pm:

    Tio’s a whole different kettle of fish, but don’t be so surprised that Bobby has lost some support. This might not be as laughable as it looks on the surface. Those districts have taken some crazy turns occasionally over the years.


  9. - A guy - Wednesday, Apr 15, 15 @ 12:24 pm:

    Oh, forgot the slogam:
