Bill Richardson can grow as many beards as he wants, he still looks like Horatio Sanz.

Nicole, Monday, 4 February 2008 20:35 (sixteen years ago) link

can he?!

roxymuzak, Monday, 4 February 2008 20:35 (sixteen years ago) link

He pastes them on his chin if he needs to.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 4 February 2008 20:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Curt1s and hurting, it's not too late to register to vote in November. You can expiate your sins (it is February, after all) by getting registered now.

The former president and Richardson planned to watch the game together at a private residence in Red River, a community of about 500 people in the mountains of northern New Mexico with a small ski area that attracts winter visitors because of the wang.

an insanely optimistic view for obama on tuesday:

http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat?pid=279743

it kind of reads like "if obama gets california, and massachusetts, and alabama, and alaska, and colorado, and the northeast, etc etc etc, he'll lock the nomination up"

there's no way i'm investing anything in this article.

Obama ahead in AP poll: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ijClHoidEl8XEJMJoUooHU1R_nmgD8UJJ8QG0

Send it to the patent office. That outcome is as guaranteed as a Patriots' undefeated season.

i'm just going to assume everyone has seen that will.i.am "yes we can" music video so we can just note its existence and move past it

Obama doing better against McCain across the board

gabbneb, Monday, 4 February 2008 21:12 (sixteen years ago) link

To be honest I'm feeling about as optimistic about tomorrow as I was about the Pats undefeated season. (Not very.) I guess I better start watching NASCAR, it's only a little over 2 weeks before the Daytona 500 and I don't have a favorite ever since Dale Sr RIP.

daria-g, Monday, 4 February 2008 21:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Super Tuesday is coming just in time, bcz if it was Friday I'd likely think Obama isn't worth it, and stay home.

“We’re only going to score 17 points?” Brady said before chuckling about it. “OK. Is Plax playing defense? I wish he had said 45-42 and gave us a little credit for scoring more points.”

Plaxico Burress: Plz to give the Patriots -- AND HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON -- a little more credit.

maybe it's best if Limbaugh and Hannity end up being the agents that really destroy the GOP.

i dunno about curits (is this yr first election?) but for hurting, if its anything like illinois where you are in jersey then you can show up at yr old polling place w/ proof of state residency and you might not have a problem??

deej, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 01:51 (sixteen years ago) link

https://voter.njsvrs.com/PublicAccess/jsp/PollPlace/PollPlaceSearch.jsp

see if you are still registered from last election

I don't know whether to be happy or sad that hard-core conservative radio hosts and pundits are unable to derail McCain's nomination.

Is it over for Romney tomorrow?

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 5 February 2008 01:53 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah McCain's almost certainly going to sew up the nomination tomorrow seems to be the consensus.

Clay, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 01:57 (sixteen years ago) link

Only chance for Romney is California, and the polls there have been wildly divergent. The one that had Romney up (Zogby, maybe?) may well be an outlier.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 5 February 2008 02:00 (sixteen years ago) link

i just hope obama comes out of tomorrow with some momentum for 2012 (to supplant pres. mccain) and that romney doesn't.

clinton camp reveals some thoughts on tomorrow's elections and its aftermath:

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/02/04/clinton-camp-expects-nomination-fight-to-go-on/

i'm sorry, but i think this michigan and florida stuff the clinton camp is trying to pull is complete bullshit.

Mark Clemente, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 02:28 (sixteen years ago) link

*their aftermath, not "its"

Mark Clemente, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 02:28 (sixteen years ago) link

obama and edwards weren't even on the goddamn ballot in michigan, come on!

Mark Clemente, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 02:29 (sixteen years ago) link

"making sure all votes will be heard" give me a break

Like my Dolphins when they hit their bye week, you're already looking ahead to next season.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 5 February 2008 02:32 (sixteen years ago) link

pres. mccain

Pres. McCain!@*! Blech.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 5 February 2008 02:34 (sixteen years ago) link

stuff the clinton camp is trying to pull is complete bullshit politics. winning the nom > not winning the nom lol

NINE MONTHS TO GO, people.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 02:36 (sixteen years ago) link

I posted this on Slog on impulse, so I'll post it here. Parenthesis denotes subsequent edit. I'll probably regret it, so tear it apart. The thread was about Hillary Hate in general.

Hillary is definitely waaaay over-hated, but it comes to two things, both of which are obvious, and one of which is really sad:

* Most men and women in the U.S. hate women (in position of power)
* Hillary comes off so much like Nixonian mother wagging her finger at you

Hillary is a smart candidate, but she's bringing out that inner rage most people have toward their nagging mothers. "You BETTER vote for me if you know what's good for you *scowl*" is the inner dialog bubble people are putting hovering over Hillary, no matter what actual good or bad comes from her mouth.

McCain is your fun although kinda-scary grandfather that you run to when you've had enough of Mom, so he can spoil you.

Obama is your sage hip cousin.

Mackro Mackro, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 02:38 (sixteen years ago) link

Panic is setting in among Democrats and hard-core conservatives. The world is a funny place.

Who's going to be the Van Driessen that unites us both in peace and harmony and sings us "Lesbian Seagull"?
