Last night after the dust settled in a critical battleground state come November, Hillary came away with a 10 point victory, 55%-45%. She proudly took the stage with husband ‘Slick Willy’ and daughter Chelsea and thanked the people of PA for their gracious support. And it was indeed gracious of Pennsylvania voters to ignore the fact that Hillary is so obviously full of shit.
Hillary once again mentioned her Pennsylvania roots, making it awfully tricky to keep up as she seems to have roots in about 5 different states. Coincidentally, husband Bill has spread roots in more states but that information …read more

In just a few hours the polls will close in Pennsylvania and the people of that state will give us their glum vision of the future-I presume something along the lines of Terminator or Planet of the Apes. Whether the world will be taken over by machines or hairy primates is anyones guess, but the people of Pennsylvania are currently weighing in on that very question. Well, not exactly, but it seems firmly established that they are bitter and hopeless.
How many people in the state really are, in fact bitter? Is the bitterness so pervasive that they can actually …read more

In light of the popularity of my what is a caucus? post that involved me using a picture of duck hunters to explain the process; I figured I would do something similar to explain the delegate process.
Ultimately the respective democrat and republican nominees are not selected by the total number of citizens who actually voted for them, no that would be far too simple and democratic. They are chosen by delegates and each state is worth a certain number of delegates. On the republican side some states are winner take all while others divide their delegates based on the percentage of votes each candidate garners. But then there are the super …read more

If you’re a Florida voter, chances are you have something in common with this man, you’re old and confused. Coincidentally, this man is also on the republican ballot and you can vote for him. He holds some belief about going back to the olden’ days where people traded in gold rather than deflated US dollars.
Anyways, both the democrats and republicans are holding primaries in Florida on January 29th. But if that date doesn’t suit you, you should consider voting early, which is what I did.
As long as you’re in the county you are registered to vote in, you can swing by …read more

As Obese Population Rises, More Candidates Courting The Fat Vote
Here’s a fun video from The Onion. Since politicians and the media are so obsessed with targeting various segments of society-age, ethnicity, promiscuity, etc; The Onion takes a look at a very large segment of our population that the candidates are now going after: the obese vote. Who will garner the most fat votes and what are the candidates doing to capture the hearts and minds of the American obese?

This is a theme post for b5media’s Travel and Culture channel entitled “family.” So I decided to focus on the all important family caucus, which involves telling your family members why they are wrong and why they should vote with you.
In almost all families there is some degree of political difference, some large and some small. When gathering a family caucus it is important to leave out members who have a vastly different political position, chances are you will be left spinning your wheels in mud. It’s best to focus on family members (and friends!) with smaller political differences to yours. A family caucus can …read more

If you thought the Iowa caucuses were exciting you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! That’s right, the January 19th Nevada caucuses will include 9 Las Vegas strip casinos!
And hey, it’s Vegas baby, why not? What would Nevada caucuses be without holding some in casinos? It’s nice to be able to place a wager on who will win the Nevada caucus and then have some control over the outcome by loudly and furiously caucusing for your candidate (actually you can’t legally wager on this in Nevada so either see your bookie or place your wager online before caucusing).
The reason for the casino caucuses is to …read more

The fraction of the 91% ethnically white Iowa has spoken and the winners are Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee. Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani were the biggest losers considering they both had the worst case scenarios happen to them. Hillary finished 3rd amongst dems behind Obama and John Edwards and Rudy Giuliani finished 6th amongst republicans with 4% of the votes.
Now I know Rudy Giuliani didn’t spend much energy on Iowa but 6th place?!? Are you kidding me? He finished behind Ron Paul! And Ron Paul didn’t just beat Rudolph; he crushed him with his 10%!
Fred Thompson finished 3rd and why not considering he didn’t do …read more

John McCain is tied with Mitt Romney for the lead in New Hampshire!? Huh? When did the media decide that John McCain still had a chance to be president?
Isn’t the point of polls to predetermine the eventual winner of the respective nominations? How are people supposed to decide who to vote for if they don’t already know who everybody else is voting for? I’ve said this before on this site-I don’t want to vote for a loser!
I want to have bragging rights amongst friends that I voted for the eventual winner. But right now, I don’t have a clue! This …read more
