Re: My Iowa Predictions (none / 1)

Bush won't be waiting up with you. Which should make you feel a little better about it, right?

I think it's telling that the White House press secretary doesn't seem to have a clue what time the results will come in. But then, we've already established that she doesn't have a clue about much, anyway.

Oh yes, I feel much better. Having a greater attention span than a thick plank is most comforting...

Re: My Iowa Predictions (none / 1)

For some reason that made me think of Bush and Derrida in the same sentence.

I think my brain may have just melted.

Ow.

Well if he's not waiting up because he's going to declare himself caesar before the end of the year so it doesn't metter, that might not make me feel better.

Re: My Iowa Predictions (none / 1)

Even the Caesars knew they had to fear the people. I don't think anyone can provide that much panem et circenses.

Anyway, here's my prediction:

Huckabee
Romney
McCain
Obama
Clinton
Edwards

/will stay up tonight

Re: My Iowa Predictions (none / 0)

Damn, I missed the Dems by 0,2% (Edwards beats Clinton) and the Reps by less than 300 votes (Thompson beats McCain). Had anybody Thompson in third place?
