Election-induced glee

Antoine is live-blogging the politician thingies over here. I asked him via email if Hillary was doing as bad as I hoped, and he said she isn’t quite dead yet. I pouted over this. In an effort to cheer me up, he replied:
Think of the wasted cash, the insults, the hate, the venom, the lifelong friendships ruined, the stabbings.
Now I do feel better. Yep, I’d be gloating over the self-destructing Republicans if they were as interesting. I mean, the DRAMZ!
John McCain will reach the number of delegates required for nomination as Republican candidate. The same may not be the case for a Democrat for, let me see… six months if the lawyers get involved?

Whoa. I totally thought we were of one mind on this one. Fabulous, maybe a Scrabulous and political debate is in the works?
I care more about Scrabulous than I do about politics! But considering that you’ve never beat me at that, I’m confident we could go round-for-round in politics, too… [insert wink smiley here]
It’s like a less rational version of The Apprentice, with guns and lawyers. And right now, we don’t know how one of the finalists is going to get picked.
I think part of the appeal of elections is that, unlike a TV show, we don’t really know what’s going to happen.
I mean, who predicted the California Democratic party primary of June 5th 1968 would end with the front-runner gunned down? Depending on who you believe, even Sirhan Sirhan didn’t see that one coming.
Yea! I’ve got to be able to win SOMETHING, right?
Per Antoine’s comments: I love elections — such a geek here — because of the excitement and the unpredictability. I mean, honestly, who predicted that W. would get elected twice? His father, who was probably a lesser divisive man, was only elected once.
But then there was Ross Perot. But who thought his big ears would fly him that far?
You’re making me miss Dana Carvey’s Bush Sr. and Perot impersonations. “NAAA GAAAAAAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!”
