Title: Since I'm the only one who lives in Iowa
Post by: ChelseySuzie on Jan 04, 2008, 12:12:34 PM
I participated in the caucuses last night.  It was a retarded process I must say.  I was in an elementary school and we basically had to go split up and stand in the designated areas of our candidates of choice.  Then they counted everyone in each section, whichever candidate had less than 15% of supporters were not viable so they were to either be convinced to go to another group or try to get more supporters.  I just sat there and made small talk with some people around me.  I'm too shy and I hate confrontation though it wasn't a hostile environment since the only people there were Democrats.

That was just the Democrat caucus, the Republican one requires a lot less work which I'm jealous of.

Some crazy dude got kicked out right at the beginning because he was yelling things like "When are we going to get to vote?  I have things to do!  Is there going to be a Republican rebuttal?" etc.  We cheered when he left.  Apparently five minutes was waaayyy too long for him to wait.

I guess at my boyfriend's precinct, a fight nearly broke out because the Hilary supporters lost and wanted a recount.  There is a lot of room for human error, especially since the place he was at was a bar/restaurant and people were going to the bar to get drinks and not getting counted.  This is the kind of town I live in.  Any sort of gathering requires alcohol.


Obama won the Dems and Huckabee won the Republicans.

Then I went to my friend's house and played Rock Band.   :guitar:

Isn't democracy great?

"Go stand in this corner to vote for your canidate."

I guess Diebold machines are old school now.

The idea of a "President Huckabee" frightens me to the very core of my bones.  Merla laughed when I told her this and I gently reminded her that Dubya is ending his second term in office.

I'm still for Clinton '08... the one without the penis. I'm glad she didn't win Iowa. They never pick the president.

Hmmm....wonder what replacing the backhand shot with the bitchslap shot would do for hockey ratings?

Yeah, it does tend to stay out of the headlines, but what do you expect with such a boring bunch of guys playing it?  No one shooting up steroids, no rapists, nobody torturing animals....

Except they fucked with the Dems.

Go McCain!

I would love to see McCain win the nomination solely because the Bush camp tried to paint him as being mentally screwed up from his years as a POW.

Well...

But he is the only Republican I'd vote for... but I'm still Hot for Hillary.

Ditto.  Except for being hot on Hillary.  More like warm.  Obama is leaving me chillier and chillier every day though.

My first choice is Kucinich... but he has the same chances of winning that... well I could make an insult about Faye, IDE, Doug, or even Rama, but you know how fucked he is.

Hillary's been the most honest, and she's alluring. I want her as a leader.

Romney won the Republican side. McCain almost won, but Romney came from behind with the surprise buttsecks.


Hillary won only because her name was the only one on the ballot for the dems. The Democratic National Convention didn't like the date of the primary so told all the candidates to take their names off the ballot. Everyone did except for that wrinkly-face joweled old bitch. That might explain why only about 10% of people in the state voted. I voted uncommitted, which was the other option.

Now Michigan won't be a factor in the election. Wonderful. We'll have some crazed religious nutjob or crazy bitch for a president.
