Re: New Hampshire Primary - early prediction thre (none / 0)

The situation is so volatile its like trying to predict the pace of the annual wildebeest migration. Will it snow? Which way is the wind blowing? Who said the voters weren't like sheep? Who said Newhampsters where all flinty eyed rock solid contrarians? The MSM are setting the agenda. Popular frustration is being poured into the Obama template. Clinton has been painted into the old guard corner. Edwards is a nice guy who will do what nice guys do. Obama is the answer - now what was the question?

Sure, but it's like betting on the oil price on 12/31/2007, without champagne...

Well if it results in the Republicans being voted out in November, I'm sure everyone will be happy to buy their own champagne

Re: New Hampshire Primary - early prediction thre (none / 0)

That could either be great fun or ultimately depressing

Re: New Hampshire Primary - early prediction thre (none / 0)

It's the first Thursday in November sometime isn't it

(and if it all goes wrong it's depressing just about everywhere)>

Re: ET special US elections meet-up (none / 1)

Any american themed bar is gonna be crawling with people. Which means that you probably won't get a seat unless you arrive at about 18:00 Paris time.

It might be better ot get in touch with Democrats Abroad : Paris via one of ET's US contingent and finding out where their party will be. Judging by the UK branch it will probably be quite a do with some pretty important local politicians.

Re: ET special US elections meet-up (none / 1)

Whut? No, no, no! The only way to do a European US-elections all-night watch thingi is to gather in a private venue and get completely sloshed! I'm not thinking wine here, either. Pure grain alcohol and distilled water only!

Champagne? Sure, for those who would expose themselves to such reckless endangerment to the purity of essence of their precious bodily fluids.

No (decent) beer : no Helen

I don't like spirits so it would be pretty dull for me. And nobody can spend all night drinking wine.

I think Geezer's boat would be the most fun.

Re: ET special US elections meet-up (none / 0)

This is probably the best solution yet heard. Pie in the face on camera typically condemns a politician to loss and failure. However, it must be a mergaine pie (oh spell it yourself) or else the pie in the face routine will not work.
