It's complex. See, if she wins, then yes, it matters. If he wins...not so much.

I'd explain it, but you wouldn't understand.

On a serious note if such a game existed for this primary season, I would buy it. Question: what game pieces would represent the players of this season? Hilary? Kucinich? McCain?

I'll go first and say Huckabee would be a guitar with a few loose strings..

When I am put in charge of the rewrite of the constitution, I plan to make use of the term "momentum" in politics a criminal offense. It suggests the anti-democratic notion that one should vote based on peer pressure and media commands.

The Clinton camp is none to happy about this development and is threatening to take legal action because it said it won the state.

Nah, walnut's reserved for John Kerry. Why don't we stick to Monopoly pieces? I bet Clinton's the type that pisses and moans when she's not the car.

What? Kerry doesn't carry walnuts in his cheeks like McCain does. Kerry shouldn't even have a piece this election.

I think you're correct. Being the car belies a fundamental insecurity. I, on the other hand, prefer the hat.

Kerry's not in this election game, but he reserves the walnut piece for this reason:

He totally rocks the walnut look. McCain looks more like a gourd,

I'd bump Obama up to 59 percent.

Anyone know when results will start coming through?

Has Obama threatened to take legal action yet on any of his losses?


Not as far as I know, and when he loses he actually congratulates her. When she loses she just completely ignores the fact that any voting happened in those states.

Has Obama threatened to take legal action yet on any of his losses?-Gregory F. Stuart:.

yes, he did in newyork and STILL LOST.
he also is threatening to over Florida, Nevada and a few other states and will hopefully still lose there too.
He put up a nice fight but Hillary is finally surging ahead and will most likely end up with the nomination.
He can be as litigious as he likes but that doesn't make him a winner.
Hillary has the experience as a lawyer and 35 years in politics to know when to sue only when she is going to win. Obama just wants to throw a wrench into the democratic party and mess things up for the taxpayers and the voters. Wow, what a patriot.

The Clintons aren't liked here. We live by livestock, energy, and tourism. Bubba made sure that the cattlemen got screwed by his land use programs, his reintroduction of the wolves made sure that hunting revenue went down, as did Yellowstone visits. The banning of snowmobiles really hurt the off season income of everyone.

Obama is again favored because of the state's significant black population.


What about the insignificant blacks? Is Obama a classist?

If Obama wins today, every citizen of Wyoming who makes that happen will also receive a complimentary, "We're better than Ohio" bumper sticker as well.

Party Boy :The Clinton camp is none to happy about this development and is threatening to take legal action because it said it won the state.

So let me see if I got this right. Clinton's campaign is threatening to take legal action because they had already claimed victory before all the results were in?

Frankly, I'm amazed the media called the state for Hillary knowing full well that the "winner of the state" needed delegates from both the primary AND the caucuses. But I guess it's a better story if you have Hillary coming from behind to take three states. I still don't even understand that logic either. It's like the Red Sox being down 10-1 in the 8th and then scoring a point and having the commentators start going off about how they're gonna win it now. They know they can't make up the point spread, but "gosh, wouldn't that be cool?"

 
madmann [TotalFark] 2008-03-08 11:35:49 AM  
Got me thinking about the current political cast as recurring characters from SNL. I'd say.....

Hillary: Gotta be Jon Lovitz' compulsive liar, Tommy Flanagan.

Obama: Eddie Murphy as 50% Velvet Jones, 25% Mr. Robinson and 15% Buckwheat. The other 10% is Garret Morris as the "News For The Hard Of Hearing" Guy.

McCain: Phil Hartman as Sinatra in The Sinatra Groupharkabee: No choice: Dana Carvey as The Church Lady

Kucinich: Mr. Bill (Bonus: actual size)

Romney: Rob Schneider as The "Makin' Copies" Guy. We would have also accepted Phil Hartman's Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

Ron Paul: Chris Kattan as Mango. Only way to explain the rabid fans.

Laura Bush & Cindy McCain: Nora Dunn & Jam Hooks as The Sweeney sisters

George Bush: Buck Henry as Lord Douchebag

Fred Thompson: Dan Ackroyd as Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute.

Ben Bernanke: John Belushi as Samurai Guy

Ann Coulter: Julia Sweeney as Pat

Bill Clinton: Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton. I always thought he made a better Clinton than Bill did.

Rudy 9ui11ani: Kevin Nealon as Mr. [9/11] Subliminal.

Dick Cheney: Dan Ackroyd in Point/Counterpoint. "Jane, you ignorant slut. Go fark yourself."

/Well, it amused me anyway....

Thanks.. I was going to ask why WY was expected to fall heavily to Obama.. you know besides him being awesome and everything. :-)
