Houston area Democrats settle primary battle once and for all

With a Clinton vs. Obama tug-o-war.

Well that was easy.

Democrats in Senate District 11 near Houston appear to have had it with this crazy long primary season and all the party infighting.

Over the long weekend, they decided to settle things with the ultimate tie-breaker: tug of war.

Here's the sarcastic (we think) description from bounder77062 who posted the videos:

"Texas SD 11 Democrats, tired of waiting around, take the nomination into their own hands in a TUG-O-WAR!...In the hot Texas heat who has strength to win?...Democrats of Houston Texas strongly recommend Tug-O-War as prossibly the most meaningful way to make a decision at this point!"

There were three rounds. Clinton won the first one. The second went to Obama.

Here's the thrilling final match-up. Clinton supporters are on the left. Obama supporters are on the right:

Note: There was no violence, cursing, name calling, mud slinging, firearms, nor ambulances standing by. How could that be possible you ask? Simple. Because in real life most supporters of both sides aren't batshit crazy.

3. They did sound like they were having a great time.

Amazing how that could happen when they're supposed to be at each others throats, isn't it? ;)

I'd get on their butts about the missing invite if I were you. It be a shame to miss such good company in the future. :)

2. Hilarious! I'm glad some people can keep some perspective and have fun.

Also this quote from that site is funny:

"Can't tell who won- but if the Hillary side won you can bet that Terry McAuliffe will be citing this as a reason for her to stay in the race."

Sad, funny, and true.

Personally, I believe most people have kept their perspective just like these folks.
