Poll question: What Democratic presidential candidates will say about the Sopranos final show

[Red Zelda]

1. GREAT fucking poll!!!

2. Meaningless to me

I have never seen a single episode of the Sopranos, and will never see the reruns.

3. Ralphie didn't kill the cat, although he wanted to

Cat is seeing very much alive and well after Tony left Ralphie outside the pork place.

As to the ending of the show... I thought my cable went out!

[Zodiak]

5. Paulie hated the cat

Ralphie Cifaretto died two seasons ago, choked and beaten to death by Tony.

At our "Sopranos" party, we all speculated that the cat was the spirit of Adrianna.

4. I have never watched The Sopranos

but having been an Idol fan, I can understand getting hooked on a show.

6. I think this article answers your question best :

"The Sopranos" goes dark
David Chase gives fans the finale they deserve -- one they can argue about for years to come.

By Heather Havrilesky, salon.com

Excerpt:

Instead of taking Tony down out of karmic retribution, Chase got his karmic revenge on us for caring too much about this "jack-off fantasy on TV" in the first place.

And yet... is it possible that we're witnessing Tony's last moment alive? What did Bobby say to him on the boat, in the first episode of this last run? "You probably don't even hear it when it happens, right?" Maybe the abrupt ending is Tony getting shot, without even realizing it?

That's probably wishful thinking, like hoping that there really is a Santa Claus simply because it would make the holidays much more interesting. We've never seen things from Tony's perspective, so why would we start now? And wouldn't we at least know who killed him?

No. Tony's story simply ended abruptly. Since we didn't have to a chance to say it before, we'll say it now: Goodbye, Tony. Looks like you won't go to prison (not yet, anyway), and you won't rat, and you won't finally get your come-uppance, dying in a bloody heap. You'll be immortalized eating onion rings, chuckling, focusing on the good times... Just like the rest of us. Going to hell in a red leather booth, with Journey playing in the background.

The answer to your poll is more "global" than your poll would indicate. I reiterate: "Just like the rest of us. Going to hell in a red leather booth, with Journey playing in the background."

btw: I highly recommend this article. It is well worth the read.
