KOEB Meeting: 01/03/08 -- Caucusing The Night Away With Keith, Pt. 1

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, everyone! Let's snuggle in for a long winter's night, shall we?

[SharonRB]

1. Hey, Pats!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

3. I'm following along with Cenk and Ben at Brave New Films

http://bravenewfilms.org/election?utm_source=rgemail

[GigiMommy]

50. Hi Sharon!!

I'm following them on

http://www.theyoungturks.com/

:hi:

[SharonRB]

56. I was getting sensory overload

so I turned them off and put cspan on the computer instead.

[GigiMommy]

96. I've got Keith and TYT on the computer...

it's smokin"

[bleever]

160. Nice new pic, Sharon.

You guys could almost be sisters.

[SharonRB]

163. Thanks, bleev

You're the first one who's noticed I changed it last night. Who ever woulda thunk the guy would be the most observant?

[bleever]

171. LOL.

Must be because I'm baking bread that I have my sensitive side goin' on.

[marlakay]

85. Thanks Sharon

now I can listen at work!!

marla

[SharonRB]

89. You could stream cspan, too

[Patsy Stone]

4. Hi!

It's finally here! Thank goodness.

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

2. C'mon Edwards!!!

:woohoo:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

10. Come on, Democrats!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

5. With Keith??? You bet!!!!

He even put on a new green minty Christmas tie and you've lit the Yule Log! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

8. You could make your thread

part two. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

11. Maybe I will, later.

I liked your title better.

[Patsy Stone]

14. As in

"to caucus". :)

I do like that tie.

[ralps]

6. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone! Come On Down John Edwards!!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Hi Pats and everyone!

I'm strapped in and ready to go!

[Patsy Stone]

12. Have you flipped over to C-SPAN?

The Republican rooms look like they're at a wake. :hi:

[SharonRB]

13. I did for just a minute right before KO

They had different captions on the two CSPANs, but the places looked the same. I was very confused.

[SeattleGirl]

16. I was flipping back and forth between CSPAN 1 & 2 before KO came on.

And you're right. The Republicans DO look like they're at a wake, and you know what? They probably are!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

20. Has anyone

checked on Fred recently to see if he's still standing?

[SeattleGirl]

23. I think I saw him this morning, curled up in a ball in the corner,

snoring loudly. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

32. Refreshments?

Irish Coffee?

[SeattleGirl]

36. Ooooh, I'll take one!

:9

[Berry Cool]

41. Me too!

I think I picked the wrong night to stop sniffing glue!

[Patsy Stone]

48. LOL

I just served you upthread.

[Berry Cool]

40. He went to bed early.

Forrest Gump: "Ah'm pretty tared. Ah think Ah'll g'home now." :boring:

[Patsy Stone]

209. Please do not miss:

[GigiMommy]

58. Giggles!!!!

[WolverineDG]

17. I see white people!!

:wow:

SRO at the Dem caucus, :boring: at the Rep

dg

[SeattleGirl]

19. White people in Iowa???????

:wow:


:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

26. Damn, I need 2 more TVs!!

Center one on Keith, the other 2 on CSPAN 1 & 2. :crazy:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

29. Definitely! I wish I had a whole bank of TVs!

And AAR on the computer.

[Patsy Stone]

34. Time to move to Best Buy

:)

[SeattleGirl]

38. There we go!

Let's all head out to the nearest Best Buy for the duration!

[Berry Cool]

69. I could get a new stove at Best Buy

Sounds good to me!

[SharonRB]

39. I just brought up cspan on my computer

but I can't post and read here, watch KO and watch the span. I need four sets of eyes!

[SharonRB]

9. More like the longest 306 days

And I wish they'd bring back the smoke-filled rooms so we could get Gore to run.

[Berry Cool]

15. Fasten your seat belts, it's gonna be a bumpy night.

Keith's developing quite the pastel tie collection. He has his baby-blue Barack Obama tie, his baby-pink Donald Trump tie, and now his minty fresh tie. All he needs is a yellow one and perhaps a pale lavender one, and he's got the whole collection.

[Patsy Stone]

18. He doesn't have a purple solid shiny tie?

I thought he did. And don't forget the off-white solid shiny tie, too.

ed: Because spell-check is my friend.

[Berry Cool]

25. He has a silver one and a darker purple one, but not a light one.

Speaking of Emily Litella...problem solved.

I turned on the candle lighter, turned on the one burner and then held it way out and darted it quickly at the burner until it caught, then turned the ligher right off.

I would've used a strand of uncooked spaghetti, but I didn't have any of that either. :-(

[Patsy Stone]

46. I was going to suggest spaghetti

but I see the problem is solved and the spaghetti supplies are non-existent.

:thumbsup:

Irish Coffee?

[Berry Cool]

79. Thank you, I'll gladly have another!

Whew. I was just a little worried about making myself a candidate for the next Darwin Awards. You know, like the proverbial guy who holds up a match to his gas tank to try to see if there's any gas in it.

[Patsy Stone]

83. That will play better

on Oddball if you move to Florida.

[WolverineDG]

21. Nah, I wanna brokered convention

make things more fun in Denver. :evilgrin:

dg

[SharonRB]

24. That's what I really meant

I don't want it all decided before then. I want Al to ride in on his white horse to save the day.

[SeattleGirl]

33. Pisses me off that such a small state has so much power.

And I REALLY hate it that the candidates could be decided so freakin' early.

[WolverineDG]

43. You're talking to a Texan

We've got tons of electoral votes, but all the DLC wants from us is our money. fuckers.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

47. I hear you, DG

I think the DLC should just go ahead and implode or something.

[WolverineDG]

35. Yeah, & they'll have to make nice with the Texans

we've got tons of votes. :evilgrin:

dg

[Berry Cool]

100. But on the end, on election night

everyone will have to welcome their Ohio overlords. :-)

[RevCheesehead]

187. I, for one, welcome our alien overlords.

:hi: Thanks for the super-nice message, Berry! :hug:

[bleever]

22. What's all this I hear about a ruckus in Iowa?

Don't those people want to teach their children good sportsmanship? Whatever happened to...eh?...what's that? Oh..."caucus".

Never mind.

[Patsy Stone]

27. Emily?

:hi:

Irish coffee?

[bleever]

136. That looks faboo.

Gracias!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

140. Oh, hey bleeve

I didn't even see you standing there.

[bleever]

169. :)

I've been getting some bread started.

[Patsy Stone]

200. Whitehouse in the White House!

Please let me know when it's done. I'll bring the butter, shaped like a bust of Obama.

[SharonRB]

28. The sites are overflowing!

:woohoo:

[WolverineDG]

30. More in 2008 than 2004

Oh my, Timmeh, what does it mean? Oh, what does it mean?

IT MEANS WE CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF THOSE BASTARDS ILLEGALLY OCCUPYING THE OVAL OFFICE, THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS!!!!!!

dg

[Der Blaue Engel]

49. I wish he'd shut his bloviating face

"The more women, the bigger the bump for Hillary." :wtf: I guess since he always votes for the person with genitalia most like his, he figures everyone else does too?

[WolverineDG]

111. Hi DBE!

I have a kitty who looks like your calico!! :) Gave me a start when I saw your sig....

dg

[Der Blaue Engel]

117. Hi, DG

She does have siblings out there in the world. :)

But these days she looks more like this:



:D

[WolverineDG]

122. Here's a pic of Riki

Although most of the time, she resembles your sleeping kitty too.

Cats. :eyes:


dg

[Der Blaue Engel]

135. Wow, the same half-and-half head!

I haven't seen any cats besides Urdie with that color split before. :)

On edit, Urd has a more 50/50 split from the back, but I don't have any pictures of the back of her head. (Although you'd think I would, as she frequently gives me the back of her head as a protest against one thing or another. lol)

[WolverineDG]

172. Riki had a littermate who was her twin

except her markings were black instead of gray. I think that cat still lives at the house behind me. I haven't seen her in a while.

dg

[Berry Cool]

173. You ought to see my Harley.

I don't have any pictures of her scanned, but she's Harley because she looks like a harlequin.

[Der Blaue Engel]

192. Calicos are the best

:)

[Berry Cool]

159. Aw. What adorable cats!

[Greylyn58]

31. Howdy All

Very cold here in NC. Love the fire picture. Makes me wish I had a fire place.

:hi: Patsy and :hi: to my fellow KOEBers!! :grouphug:

[Patsy Stone]

37. I wish I had one too

For the one night a year I need it. :)

:hi: and WOOF!

[Berry Cool]

45. Well, if I hadn't been extremely careful with the candle lighter and my stove

I could've had a fireplace. It would have been the whole apartment, but hey, it'd be toasty warm.

It would also go great with the Christmas-afternoon fire we had on the first floor. Good thing I was away at the time. Damn floor still smells like smoke. My apartment did, too, all that night when I got back.

[Greylyn58]

129. Jeez Berry...be careful out there

Glad you are ok. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

179. I really need to move.

Between careless residents who throw lit cigarette stubs down the trash chute (thinking it's an incinerator--it's not) and those with appliances that short out, this place is a tinderbox.

[Greylyn58]

228. Ouch!!

Then really be careful, hon. :hug:

[Der Blaue Engel]

42. Blast from the past, here, checking in

:hi:

I haven't stopped by the KO forum in ages, but this seemed like a really good time. :)


:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

52. Hi DBE

:hi:

[Der Blaue Engel]

60. Hiya, SG

:hi:

[SharonRB]

62. Hi, DBE

Welcome back!

:hi:

[Der Blaue Engel]

74. Thanks, Sharon

:hi:

It's nice to be catching it in (almost) real time since I'm working from home today (TiVo's about 15 minutes behind for maximum commercial avoidance).

[Patsy Stone]

57. Hey, Hey!

Welcome back! Great to see you!

Please stop by anytime.

:hi:

[Der Blaue Engel]

Thanks, Patsy

Good to see you all. :hi:

(I haven't been in charge of the remote since Mr. Engel moved in last February; today was a rare opportunity and I thought I'd jump on it.) :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

102. I just bought

a TV for the bedroom. I am a happy girl. Soon, when the channel flipping begins, (Okay, not kidding, it's just begun... LOL!) I can go in the other room and watch Keith to my heart's delight.

Yay, me!

[SharonRB]

103. Hurray!

Now you don't have to deal with hubby walking back and forth in front of you while you're trying to watch KO.

[Patsy Stone]

108. It's happening as we speak...

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

110. He's pacing even in the bedroom

or are you not in there yet?

[Patsy Stone]

113. Not there yet

:)

[Der Blaue Engel]

114. Heh

Mr. E watches Keith, too, but he's usually home when it airs and has watched and deleted it by the time I get home. :cry: (He used to leave it on the TiVo, but there was never a good time for me to catch it since the our living room is the bedroom and the t.v. is in it.) :)

[Berry Cool]

182. Too bad.

Nothing beats Keith in bed.

So to speak.

[RevCheesehead]

202. I'll drink to that!

Unless, of course, you have TWO Keiths. ;)

[Greylyn58]

68. Welcome back DBE

Come around more often.

[Der Blaue Engel]

105. Hi, Greylyn

Thanks for the welcome. I'll try to to wrest the remote from Mr. Engel more often. :D

[Berry Cool]

84. Hi there, DBE

:hi: Great night to see you again, when we're caucusing like it's...2008.

[Der Blaue Engel]

120. Yes, I'm all atingle

Nice to be here, where everyone is always so warm and welcoming. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

185. Why, thanky.

We always do our best.

[bleever]

143. Howdy, DBE.

Happy Caucus night. :hi:

[Der Blaue Engel]

150. Hey, bleever

Feels like a good night to believe. :hi:

[GigiMommy]

44. Hi All!!!

Lots of milestones...
300th post!
The presidential run OFFICIALLY begins!
And IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

[ralps]

53. Congratulations & Happy Birthday GigiMommy!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :party: :toast: :bounce: :grouphug: :woohoo: :patriot:

[GigiMommy]

70. Thanks Ralps!

[Der Blaue Engel]

54. Happy Birthday and Happy 300, GigiMommy!

:party: :toast:

[GigiMommy]

80. Thanks Der Blaue Engel!

:hi:

Is that "The Blue Angel" in Deutsch. I SAW that movie!

[Der Blaue Engel]

97. Ja! Das ist korrekt!

:hi:

One of my favorite movies, and favorite actresses.

[SeattleGirl]

61. Gigi! Happy 300th and Happy Happy Birthday!

[GigiMommy]

86. Awwwwwww!

Thank you SO much!

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

91. You're most welcome, Gigi!

:hug:

[Patsy Stone]

63. Yeah!!

Happy Birthday, GigiMommy!

[GigiMommy]

101. Blowwwwwwwwww!

Thanks! I made a wish.

:loveya:

[Greylyn58]

64. Happy Birthday GigiMommy

:party: :party: :party:

Time to party!! and have a howling good time.

[GigiMommy]

118. Thanks Greylyn!

I got a foot bath full of licks from Freckles and my 8 year old took me to dinner.

[Greylyn58]

134. Is that a younger version of your 8 yr old.

Two cuties in one post. :)

[GigiMommy]

177. Why yes it is!

I miss her as a baby but she a lot of fun now. She's discovered Nintendo (playing it as we speak).

[SharonRB]

186. She's adorable, Gigi

I'm sure she's still adorable as an 8-year-old. Hope your hubby was home to take you to dinner.

[GigiMommy]

199. On a train to Toronto...

wish I could have gone.

[SharonRB]

208. Bummer

:(

[Berry Cool]

213. Lucky hubby.

Pity.

[SharonRB]

65. Happy birthday and happy 300 posts!

Quite a day, isn't it?

[GigiMommy]

121. Thanks Sharon!

I could use a nap now.

[Berry Cool]

88. Happy birthday and happy 300th, GGM

but lay off the smokes, willya? :rofl:

Aw, Keith, does Tweety HAVE to join you????

[GigiMommy]

126. Thanks BB!!

[RevCheesehead]

216. YAY!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday!! :party::toast::party:

[GigiMommy]

236. Thanks Rev!

:hi:

[Graybeard]

51. Russert says,"Here candidates have to answer tough questions"...

....he even said "that is great to see." Well they sure don't get tough questions on MTP do they you fat pantload?

[Berry Cool]

55. Can you believe we have to listen to Timmeh? And did THIS guy just call Keith "Chris"?

*sigh* I love what Keith said about Hillary being "possibly evitable...not to be confused with 'Evita'-ble."

[Berry Cool]

59. And who's reciting their times tables over David Gregory?

Looks like it's amateur night on MSNBC. Who's next, a Baba Booey?

[Patsy Stone]

73. That was freaky weird

and the voice sounded creepy too.

[WolverineDG]

75. Maybe if I had a recording of David reciting times tables

I would have done better in math. If Keith had done that, I bet I could have gotten As!!

dg

[Graybeard]

67. Pardon my manners...didn't say Hi y'all!

They should just let Keith and Rachel Maddow anchor nights like this (sort of a Huntley/Brinkley deal.)

[Patsy Stone]

77. I am so down with that!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

82. Ooooh, I love that idea!

:bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

94. Yeah, Tweety was saying it was going to be like Huntley/Brinkley tonight

but I wanted to ask him who the hell he thought he was that he could be one half of that!

Please!

Oh, hi Graybeard!! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

66. I loved what David Gregory said

Great turnout in a Democratic caucus in a Republican area.

:woohoo:

[ralps]

71. So far here are the Iowa Democratic results

http://www.iowacaucusresults.com/

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Graybeard]

87. Thanks ralps, early numbers but encouraging.

[Der Blaue Engel]

90. OMG, I am in love with your banana

(Please don't take that the wrong way!) :rofl:

[bunny planet]

72. Gawd, I'm multitasking now

watching Ben and Cenk, finally got my internet rebooted, and watching Keef and now talking to youse guys.
Hi all.

:hi:
I'm only watching until Tweety comes on. Can't stand him, can't watch him.

[GigiMommy]

165. Hi Bunny!!

:hi:

Doing the same thing. Have some cake.

[SeattleGirl]

76. Hey, y'all see this from GD?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2583593

Yeah, it's very early, but as an Edwards supporter, I like what I'm seeing!

[WolverineDG]

92. Oh god

MSNBC, CSPAN 1, CSPAN 2, & NOW iowacaucusresults.com? :crazy:

dg

[marlakay]

78. Hi Patsy everyone...

I am at work so not watching but love the fire graphic, great for when I am not sitting by one!

Marla

[WolverineDG]

81. They're still checking in Republicans

Most are putting up a fight because they're also handing out enlistment forms. :evilgrin:

dg

[bunny planet]

93. C'mon Edwards.

[Greylyn58]

146. Amen Bunny

From your voice to the Iowa Caucus goers!!

[SeattleGirl]

dg

[Berry Cool]

107. Keith is loving this "Polk County Convention Center" stuff.

Gives him a chance to show off his knowledge of James K. Polk.

Tweety's gonna be pissed if he keeps THAT up all night. :rofl:

[bunny planet]

98. There's lots of corporatists out there really pissed off they couldn't head

i heart Huckabee off at the pass.

[WolverineDG]

104. Dontcha love it?

All the corporatists who courted the rabid righties now all getting their panties in a wad because now the righties are in charge. Couldn't happen to nicer people. :evilgrin:

dg

[bunny planet]

112. I do, in fact

LOVE IT.

[bunny planet]

115. As long as the vote stealers don't get the chance to use 'the values voters'

as their cover in the theft of another election in the general.

[Graybeard]

130. And Rightie Christianists to boot!

[Patsy Stone]

106. ...and one is fighting for

"Hey! I didn't suck so bad tonight!" :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

109. I love Keith.

Time to break for a bit and eat. My cooking is done.

[WolverineDG]

116. Dems getting rowdy

Republicans hitting folks up for money. Figures.

dg

[Berry Cool]

119. Oh MYmymymymy!

Keith gave LOVELY KOOS during that little teaser!

Gave a whole new meaning to the "tease" concept! :loveya:

[ralps]

123. Here's the MSNBC Iowa Caucus page

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21229206

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

125. Great link

Thanks!

[WolverineDG]

131. They need to update their leader

it says Obama is atop Clinton & Edwards...yah, well, maybe in Upsidedown Land.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

133. If you notice

there were all of almost 200 total votes. A sure indicator. :)

[WolverineDG]

147. Holy hell, look at this

Senator John Edwards : 32.52%
Senator Barack Obama : 32.43%
Senator Hillary Clinton : 32.22%

513 precincts reporting

:wow:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

153. Unbelieveable!

I'll bet somewhere on DU right now, someone is declaring this a decisive win.

[WolverineDG]

157. Brokered convention

we wanna we wanna

brokered convention!!

dg

[SharonRB]

162. Yes, yes, yes!

I want what she's having!

Come on, Al, get ready to be called upon to serve your country and break the deadlock.

[bunny planet]

124. Yes Noron, you sure do want someone who cares about you.

Its the rest of us who need a different candidate.

[Patsy Stone]

127. LOFL!

:loveya:, bun!

[bunny planet]

132. She's always wearing those power red suits.

She really irks me. She really belongs on Fox, can't she please go over there. You know you want to Nora.

[Patsy Stone]

139. I'm thinking

working the front of the house at the husband's restaurant. Far away from me.

So, tonight Chris has decided that the winner of Iowa "wins it all". :eyes:

[bunny planet]

I'm only staying just a bit longer here because of the charming company

Tweety makes me hurl.

[Patsy Stone]

155. How about a big piece of construction paper

taped on the left side of the screen?

[bunny planet]

176. what do I do about that voice, and the idiotic drivel he spouts

that he fancies as political discourse.

[SharonRB]

180. Turn the sound off.

[bunny planet]

184. then I don't get to hear Keef. If only there was Tweety mute button on my

remote, I might use it more often.

[Patsy Stone]

181. White noise

It's like white noise to me. Can't understand the words...

[Graybeard]

166. "Republican Red" and don't you forget it!

[bunny planet]

128. As Cenk and Ben said, their always talking about the young voters

and they mysteriously never materialize.
Hope springs eternal. I sure hope they do this time.

[Berry Cool]

138. Oh, great. Keith had to bring Tweety in early.

I doubt it REALLY was "his great pleasure." :puke:

[Patsy Stone]

144. I dare say

it's better than Musto.

[Berry Cool]

190. In another half hour or so

I may be crying for Musto.

[Patsy Stone]

193. Rachel's here

to make it all better.

[Greylyn58]

161. I'm with you Berry

Keith can't get a word in edge-wise with Tweety in the room.

YUK!!!

[bunny planet]

137. Isn't the closeness of this Icaucus, kind of, I don't know,

like, historical?

[SharonRB]

142. Probably

It's what I've been hoping for. I want it to stay like this all the way to the convention, so you know what can happen. Of course, when they apportion the second place votes it could change. I guess not much, though, since hardly anyone is voting for anyone else.

[bunny planet]

148. I'm cueing up the Lovin Spoonful with

'What a Day for a Daydream' doll. Don't think our guy is going to ride in on that shiny steed.
Sigh!

[SharonRB]

152. I'm going to dream all the way to the end of August if it stays like this.

[bunny planet]

154. Aww, you're so cute.

[SharonRB]

158. Delusional,

but cute.

[Berry Cool]

145. Keith just looked at Tweety blabbering about Obama being a "son of Kenya"

as if to say "What the F are you talking about? He's a native-born American, or he couldn't run for president!"

[WolverineDG]

151. Is it too late to FedEx donuts to 30 Rock?

she asks hopefully....

dg

[SharonRB]

156. Maybe you could call a Dunkin' near 30 Rock

and have them delivered.

[Berry Cool]

195. I sure hope not.

And oh no, we get Rachel, but we also get Pat Buchanan!!!! :cry:

Tweety, why don't you just stop beating around the bush with this Kenya crap. Whisper it nice and loud: "In case you haven't noticed, Obama is BLACK."

[SeattleGirl]

222. I was just listening to AAR, and Lionel (whom I really don't listen to)

said the SAME thing about Olbermann's reaction to Tweety: "What the F are you talking about?"

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

141. Ok, ladies, Tweety's here, and I'm out.

First Nora, now him, this bunny can't take it.
Back to Ben (:loveya:) and Cenk.

[Berry Cool]

149. Poor Bun-Bun. She couldn't take it.

Tweety IS hard to take, but I do it for Keith's sake.

[Berry Cool]

167. Tweety just said the NYT was "proven wrong" about Rudy's "Sex On the City" scandal.

Is he right? Or is he just jumping the gun based on that earlier story?

[SharonRB]

168. Stick around on the thread

but without the teevee.

[RevCheesehead]

164. Is something going on tonight?

DU seems all a-flutter.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

170. There's a big ruckus in Iowa

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

175. Figures.

I guess that's why the wind is blowing in that direction. :)

[Patsy Stone]

188. With all of the hot air coming out of there

it would be more advantageous if it blew your way.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

191. You ain't kidding!!

Driving home last night, the car thermometer said 6 degrees. :scared:
But it did warm up as I got closer to home.

:hi:

[Greylyn58]

178. Howdy Rev

Glad to see you tonight!! :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

183. Hi, Grey!

How's your furry companion tonight? :hi:
:woof:

[Greylyn58]

189. Warming my feet here in chilly NC as we speak

It is really cold here. Brrrrrrrrr! 26 degrees and dropping...supposed to get down to 14.

[RevCheesehead]

197. Believe me, I feel your pain.

And the damned cats really don't care about MY feet, either! :)

[Berry Cool]

203. Hey Rev!

:hi: Something happening in Iowa. Some guy built a baseball diamond in his cornfield.

[RevCheesehead]

214. I have a sudden urge for 60's protest literature.

What is this baseball you speak of? Some kind of religion? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

233. For Keith, yes.

[Greylyn58]

174. WTF!!!! Damn the MSM....

I freakin hate when they do this!!!!

While I am less interested in the Repugs right now, I still hate when the MSM feel like they have to do this early call crap!

STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!!!

:rant:

Okay, I'm calm again!!!

[Patsy Stone]

207. Let it out!

I'm with you. I hate it too.

[bunny planet]

194. Freaking Huckabee declared the winner on the R side.

Oy. Don't know whether to be happy or frightened over that one.

[Patsy Stone]

198. Ron Paul and John McCain are tied.

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

201. That's hysterical!

[bunny planet]

205. What I don't get is why the Republicans elevated their outspoken anti-war candidate

but ours doesn't even show up on the radar. Weird. When I was in North Carolina this summer I saw Ron Paul campaign signs everywhere. Guess its that combination of anti-war and getting rid of all taxes (sure that'll work) that floats their boats.

[Greylyn58]

212. Tied? What together?

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

204. I know.

I'd like to think he will prove so repulsive to the neocons that they won't be able to tolerate him, but otherwise he scares me.

[Der Blaue Engel]

206. Yeah, it gives me the wiggins

Everyone was relieved when GWB got the nom in 2000, thinking he was too much of a buffoon to carry the conservative vote....

:scared:

[SharonRB]

196. Bring. him. on.

The more religious their candidate is, the better we'll do in the general.

[Berry Cool]

210. I hope that is true.

But as DBE says, we didn't think * could get it either, did we?

Oh, no wait, he didn't. But that didn't matter in the end. *sigh*

[bunny planet]

211. Cenk and Katrina Vanden Heuvel are saying a win for Huckabee is really a

giant win for McCain. Because, it knocks Mr. Morman I tied my dog on the car during family vacation out of the running, and leaves a wide open spot for Johnboy to move into. All of a sudden, in New Hampshire now, everyone says hmmm, McCain's still around, I forgot why I didn't like him, so I'll vote for him.

And Obama's projected to win IOWA, oh my gawd!

[Berry Cool]

217. Time for a new thread, children?

What you say? I'll go make one.

[SharonRB]

220. Works for me

Tweety just called it for Barack, too.

[Patsy Stone]

235. Oh, my yes!

Thanks!

[Patsy Stone]

221. NH

really likes McCain. This is a win for John, in that screwy if-my-team-loses-next-week-but-wins-the-next-two kinda way.

[GigiMommy]

215. The Young Turks are calling

Obama the winner in Iowa. Gosh this is interesting.

[SharonRB]

218. His good friend Joe LIEberman

:puke:

[bunny planet]

219. Holy Guacamole

Its OBAMA
As Chris Rock says, who wants to wake up the day after election day being on the wrong side of that vote.
Obama as the nominee makes it much harder for them to steal the general election, that's my theory anyway. They can't deny the groundswell of black voters who will turn out, some perhaps to vote for the first time, and they won't be able to say, in any way, shape or form, that they voted for anyone else. My two cents, and I'm sticking to it.

Edwards, is he second?

[SharonRB]

223. He and Hill are still fighting it out for second.

[Patsy Stone]

224. MSNBC

has Obama then Edwards and Clinton tied. But what I don't understand is, it says 61% of the preceincts are reporting, but there are only 1500 votes? What happened to the record turnout?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21229206

Barack Obama 571 35% 0
John Edwards 504 31% 0
Hillary Clinton 500 31%

[SharonRB]

226. That's not the number of votes

It's the number of delegates.

[Patsy Stone]

229. No

the delegates are their own column I didn't post, and those are all zero.

I think they haven't updated the site yet. Huckabee has over 14K votes.

[SharonRB]

232. Oh.

I thought you were posting the numbers they were showing on MSNBC.

[Patsy Stone]

234. Nope

I think Keith and Chris have more information than they're posting.

Irish Coffee?

[SharonRB]

237. Sure -- looks yummy!

Are you coming over to the new thread?

[Patsy Stone]

238. Yes'm!

Be back in sec. Maybe you're right after all about the delegates, because I can't see why else the numbers would be so low. I haven't heard any explanation.

[SharonRB]

225. Good one, Rachel!

Two-thirds of the voters will have voted against each of them. You tell him, Rach!

[RevCheesehead]

227. Who the frick invited the 9/11 asshole to the show???

:puke:

[Berry Cool]

230. I started a new thread...come one, come all!

Oh great, Tweety AND St. Rudy of 9/11. Just what we needed.

Please. Join me in the Off-World Colonies.

[SharonRB]

231. Let's move over to Berry's new thread

See you there.
