[Fist of Etiquette]

Tweeting the quick death of two campaigns. How perfectly vulgar.

[Rick Santorum]

Second!

[kilroy]

The host has disabled reader comments.

No joy.

[Joe M]

Look at this nonsense:
TEST RESULTS ONLY - NOT FOR BROADCAST OR PUBLICATION
Virginia - 2532 of 2532 Precincts Reporting - 100%
Romney, Mitt 899,359 65%
Paul, Ron 484,271 35%

[Pro Libertate]

Skew you!

[Joe M]

Someone forgot to add the <!--

[Pro Libertate]

Nudge, nudge, say no more!

[Auric Demonocles]

Tomorrow we have our monthly work party, which is called a Tuesday. It comes with free craft brews. That's a super Tuesday.

[rho]

Let me be the 132nd person to suggest that "X Tweets Y" is a horrible development and makes me hate the Internet.

[F Hart]

The only internet development that isn't horrible is free porn.

[Hugo Longbone]

^----fukken this

[AlmightyJB]

I've never tweeted or even seen a tweeted. I do not feel left out.

[Chupacabra]

Tweet

[Joe M]

...and the "event" is already in standby mode. Shoulda held off a couple more hours, until there was something to tweet about.

[Joe M]

They're tweeting about tweeting about Super Tuesday now. Reason, you play a dangerous game.

[CE]

And somewhere, some other twit is tweeting about Reason tweeting about their tweets about their Super Tuesday coverage....

[rho]

At some point we will reach the Hashtag Horizon, when unique human-readable hash tags will exceed 140 characters, and we'll be subjected by 3rd-party hashtag providers.

Where will our Twitters be then? Oh, the humanity!

[CE]

Just say no to hash tags. You are not a machine.

[Joe M]

Current CNN.com headline: Can Santorum stop his slide?

[Brian from Texas]

We were once a Super Tuesday state down here. Thanks to frivolous litigation we're stuck on the sidelines until late May and it really sucks.

[sloopyinca]

I'm gonna go waaaaaaaaaaaaay out on a limb here and say that twitter is making the world a dumber place by the day.

I love the reason staff and it is full of fantastic writers, and I wish they would abandon this twitter thing. It just flat-out sucks hairy balls (Malkin-style!).

I mean, seriously, what's next? Grunting?

[Gojira]

Since you didn't have an email link in your name like usual, I'm going to call you a spoof.

[sloopyinca]

I'll add it back and see if the goddamn spam filter lets me back in.

[sloopyinca]

stupid fucking spam filter keeps blocking my e-mail address.

Fuck you, webmaster.

[sloopyinca]

No, it's me Jim. The motherfucking banhammer has been dropped on my e-mail address.

Hey reason, WTF?

[A Serious Man]

I also find it vapid, but you got to admit that Lucy Steigerwald has the best twitter profile picture.

[Lucy Steigerwald]

Victory!

[Gojira]

It's alright. I guess.

[John]

It is great Lucy.

[db]

Agreed.

[Joe M]

Mm hm.

[Lucy Steigerwald]

Not dumber, terser!

[CE]

I mean, seriously, what's next? Grunting?

Hey, not a bad idea... if Twitter was the advent of micro-blogging at 140 characters max, our new Grunter service can be called nano-blogging. You get 20 characters to make your point, with a max of one hash tag.

[RoboCain]

How about a service that only allows haiku?

[omnibot]

a haiku-twitter would rule.
most people would forget to mention seasons

[juris imprudent]

I believe Stallone owns that concept.

[Juice]

Ron Paul is currently in second place in Virginia.

[CE]

at 41 percent of the vote

[Fist of Etiquette]

For the love of all that is good and holy, will someone please tell me who is winning right this instant.

[Joe M]

Numbers!

[CE]

Check here:

http://www.cnn.com/election/20.....s/20120306

[BakedPenguin]

Recumbent President Barack Obama is running uncontested in most states for the 2012 Democratic presidential nomination.

Vermin Supreme, I am disappoint.

[Lurker from NH]

He makes up for our disappointing senators.

[Joe M]

Early VT: Romney 33%, Santorum 31%, Paul 27%. I like that. Gives me hope for ND and AK later.

[CE]

Paul passed Santorum, 26 to 25 percent, with a full 7 percent reporting

[Fluffy]

If Paul doesn't win my town I am SOOOO going to violate the NAP on people around here.

[Fluffy]

Two-thirds of Romney's lead right now is coming from Essex, right outside of Burlington.

What the fuck, Burlington?

I would have thought Burlington would be more liberal than anywhere else in the state.

If Romney wins Burlington or Middlebury I'm going all Paulbot and calling vote fraud.

[John]

Essex is a bedroom community to Burlington. It is not where UVM is. This is the Republican primary. I would imagine Essex is full of the few mainline Republicans who live in the Burlington area.

[Fluffy]

But those people claim to be the most liberal of ALL.

Although I imagine the Progressive party enrollment there is very high. Those people would never take the GOP ballot in an open primary; they'd faint dead away.

[John]

I think the people who are most liberal are generally demoralized right now. They just don't have the energy to go vote in an open Primary. So that leaves the actual Republicans.

[Fluffy]

57 Vermonters voted for Perry so far.

Kick those fuckers out, man.

[Brian from Texas]

Newt apparently just won Georgia but that's expected.

[A Serious Man]

CNN has Romney up 59 to 41 on Paul with 3% reporting. Vermont surprisingly close.

[db]

IIII'M Super,
Thanks for asking!
All things considered I couldn't be better I must say!

[Joe M]

I'm gonna call it a win in VA for Paul if he gets over 40%.

[Fluffy]

If Paul pulls that 43% number, Paul could win a district and get some of VA's delegates.

[Joe M]

Just checked it out. 13 of the delegates are at-large and obviously Romney's. 33 are divided into the 11 districts, so Paul would get them in groups of 3, if he gets any.

[Fluffy]

There are a handful of Paul counties on the Google map. I guess it's a matter of where the congressional district boundaries are.

[A Serious Man]

He's doing fairly well so far in that regard. Maybe 45% is possible.

[Brandybuck]

More SnorgTees Girls!

[Eduard van Haalen]

It's false advertising - the girls are actually extra. Kind of a disappointment.

[Eduard van Haalen]

I mean, it's a major surcharge.

[A Serious Man]

Two things that bother me: one, that Ohio voters think Santorum and Gingrich are more electable than Paul in spite of the numerous polls that show otherwise, and two, that everytime I post a comment the page refreshes and I have to sit thorugh a YouTube ad for 'John Carter' to restart the twitter stream.

[Joe M]

I am looking at the stream on the main H&R page so I don't have to restart it here.

[John]

I am getting a Marine Corps commercial with some bad ass looking black dude from Detroit.

[CE]

The biggest disappointment in every state has been that Ron Paul doesn't win a huge majority of the vote among those who think the deficit is the most important issue.

[John]

That is insane.

[Joe M]

CNN VT exit poll indicates Paul is going to come in a strong second there. VA exit poll shows that Paul kicks the shit out of Romney in the 44 and under crowd, getting about 2/3 of those voters. But Romney gets 5/6 of the 65+ crowd. Old people suck.

[A Serious Man]

Sometimes things won't change until the old people die off. Reminds me of this debate I saw on YouTube between socialists and volunteerists. The socialists were relics of the 60s and 70s while the volunteerists were all in their 20s to early 30s. Shows where things are headed.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Are you people seriously telling me that I am not winning any of the Super Tuesday races? None? Embarrassing.

[Lucy Steigerwald]

Besides the one in my heart?

No, wait, sorry, the numbers are coming in. You lost that one, too.

[Fist of Etiquette]

My campaign suspects fraud.

[jj]

+1

[AlmightyJB]

Burn:)

[Extra Sausage]

This is like the worst chat room ever.

[TomD]

OK, I can't take it anymore: What's the genesis of this thing, anyway?

[TomD]

All righty, I waited 140 minutes... So nobody knows how this whole "worst chat room ever" meme sprung up?

[omnibot]

it's just a rectal thing

[TomD]

Sorry -- not good enough! Need more.

OK, so a Google search reveals the earliest instance of this phrase at Hit & Run to be in February 2011, by a commenter named "Sorry."

It made no appearance for another 54 days, when it popped up on March 27, by the commenter "Tommy."

It then appeared a couple of times in May -- by a "Dumb Bunny" and an "Again" -- largely disappearing through the summer before showing up frequently from the autumn through the present.

Who started it; what did it mean on initial use; and what is the intent of its subsequent, and seemingly ironic, use by others?

[hurts donut]

This is like the worst chat room ever.

[655321]

It isn't ironic. It's an irrelevant insult by an irrelevant person who has a severe mental disorder manifesting as a fixation with Hit & Run.

[I]

Who started it; what did it mean on initial use; and what is the intent of its subsequent, and seemingly ironic, use by others?

I started it, because calling this place a "chat room" irritated some of the lifers who insisted (at first) that H&R was not a chat room. Evidently, chatting incessantly is a girly sort of thing, and the manly adolescents here resented the implications.

I use lots of random names when I repeat it, and no, I'm not "rather." Sorry.

[I]

PS

This is like the worst chat room ever.

[Seer]

How many of the people at these Ron Paul events are groupies? 2,000 people in North Dakota is a huge number?

[sloopyinca]

It keeps blocking my fucking e-mail address.

Seriously, reason? Whose leg do I have to hump to get posting privileges around here?

[John]

MNG. He is the keeper of all things true Scotsman.

[Banjoopy]

Whose leg do I have to hump?

Ahem.

[John]

Rather, you are back.

[sloopyinca]

Oh, joy.

[John]

rapturous I tell you.

[Banjoopy]

Hump, puppets!

[John]

You need to be a less angry troll rather. You would be happier.

[rather]

fuck off John, that's not me

[sloopyinca]

I'm being banhammered, apparently.

[sloopyinca]

Looks like my e-mail address is getting the banhammer for some reason.

I wonder what I did this time.

[hurts donut]

*flips through word of the day calendar*

[sloopyinca]

About fucking time. Whoever fixed the glitch, thank you.

[sloopyinca]

And the spam filter strikes again...

[Berr]

Paul leading in one Virginia congressional district, #3. Barely, with 60% counted.

[Fluffy]

Isn't that Norfolk?

I guess the squids down there must be some of those "Ron Paul Military Voters" we always hear about.

[John]

Yes. And most of Richmond.

[yonemoto]

it's nice to see ron paul winning in charlottesville and blacksburg (UVA and VA tech)

Ron Paul: the little racist who could.

[John]

NO that would be Eric Holder.

[Max]

Arf! Arf! Arf!

[Olive Oyl]

Oh, Popeye, you know you shouldn't laugh at Hit & Run drivers, they might run you over.

[John]

http://volokh.com/2012/03/06/l.....civil-war/

great post at Volokh on Libertarians and the Civil War.

[TomD]

Wow, a page at the Volokh Conspiracy that actually loads in less than three minutes. It's a fucking miracle.

[John]

It is at night and the traffic is down.

[TomD]

What happened to that place, anyway? I used to visit multiple times daily. A couple of years ago the page-load waits became excruciating... I'll rarely even click a link to it anymore.

Is at least commonly acknowledged there that their server sucks?

[John]

I don't know. I think it got popular and never upgraded their server to handle the increased traffic. But yeah, it is slow.

[Robert]

It's gotten slow, but still faster than here. Every time the browser window displays the tweet & share buttons, it loads the Encyclopedia of Tweeting.

[Ted S.]

Volokh isn't nearly as bad as H&R in that regard.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Well, it was different when Postrel was here.

[TomD]

With certain browsers, Hit & Run (and all its widgets) can take awhile to totally resolve. But it's nothing like Volokh, where the page will just sit there blank for half a minute until anything even starts to appear.

[Ted S.]

Says you. If I accidently open H&R in the background and don't stop loading immediately when the text all loads, it freezes up Opera. And trying to open a new page in the same tab as an H&R page freezes up the browser something fierce.

I don't have problems anywhere near that severe with Volokh.

[TomD]

Hmm. I'm an Opera user too, and H&R doesn't give me anything like that problem.*

In my experience, it's Firefox where H&R really sucks ass.

(* I will say that pretty much anything involving Flash has been fairly miserable with Opera lately.)

[Ted S.]

I have plugins turned off by default (or, the setting where you get the giant gray play button and have to click on it to see it). I also visit H&R with only cached images set to load (which also means I get to see the alt-text before seeing the image). And yet I still have problems

The problems seem to have gotten worse with the advent of Google Minus.

[TomD]

I hear ya.

Well, nice to meet a fellow Opera-ite, at any rate.

[BakedPenguin]

Jesus, don't summon libertymike.

[omnibot]

WAIT
What can this mean?

[PantsFan]

SO...
anything good on Netflix?

[RoboCain]

I wonder if Paul will ever win a state?

[omnibot]

only the...

agricultural city-STATE

[db]

the coveritlive app for some reason is unworkable in several browsers on my machine. There's a big black square obscuring most of it.

[BakedPenguin]

Do you have Flashblock?

[db]

not enabled...

[db]

Strange. Same behavior on two different browsers on a completely different machine running a different OS.

[rather]

I'm bored with this one
-Mitt has it and Obama wins

 

 
Drunk flying or why I love lawyers.
I can't wait to see the 'I'm not drunk because my body is just a container for the booze' defense

[Fist of Etiquette]

This is all good fun and whatnot, but let's all understand that there's only one thing that will stop Mitt Romney from being sworn in as President of the United States next January. And after seeing this I realize the Mayans are so full of shit that we might as well all get ready to start bitching about President Romney now.

[John]

Well team blue will start caring about civil liberties again. So there is that.

[RoboCain]

More like pretend to care.

[John]

And the tears over the failed promise of the Obama administration and the thumb sucking about how America has returned to its dark night of racism will be yummy.

[Lost_In_Translation]

To be fair its not as bad as "The Day after Tomorrow".

Of course I'm setting the bar so low an ant couldn't crawl under it.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I don't know, that one at least produced the South Park episode "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow".

[omnibot]

What about Battlefield: Earth?

[Lost_In_Translation]

that bar melted in the earths core.

[supra tk society]

Thank you for sharing.

[supra tk society]

Well team blue will start caring about civil liberties again. So there is that.

[hurts donut]

what does bart simpsons hair have to do with this?

[Almanian]

Calista Not Flockhart's Forehead is on the TEEVEE right now. She scares the FUCK out of me. What material is her hair made of? Her forehead is clearly some advanced thermoplastic. But that HAIR.

*shuuuuuuuudder*

[omnibot]

it's the hair needed to impose the future.

[Almanian]

Soylent Green is people.

Clitastic Gangrene's hair is....???? NEWTONIUM! YES - NEWTONIUM, a new and dangerous element, found only in the deep south. It transmogrifies and shape shifts, taking the form of whatever its host's weakest point is.

Creepy stuff - NEWTONIUM

[RoboCain]

Calista's hair looks like a helmet.

[Almanian]

Maybe the UN should make helmets from her hair.

NO! Motorcycle helmets! A little padding - never have to worry about a puncture with whatever material that hair is....awesome mcycle helmts.

[RoboCain]

I think it's moon rock.

[Fluffy]

When she turns in profile she looks like a raptor.

I couldn't fall asleep with that looking at me, I tell you.

[John]

Maybe that is why Harrison Ford has aged so poorly. Maybe he can't either.

[omnibot]

what did you just do? I saw it

[RoboCain]

Harrison Ford?

[John]

I was confusing my Calistas. Nevermind

[RoboCain]

"Ford began dating actress Calista Flockhart after meeting at the 2002 Golden Globes, and together they are parents to her adopted son, Liam. Ford proposed to Flockhart over Valentine's Day weekend in 2009.[34] They married on June 15, 2010, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Ford was filming Cowboys and Aliens."

[John]

For some reason I saw Calista and thought her. I forgot Mrs. Titties was also named Calista.

[RoboCain]

It's an easy mistake. Flockhart is Mrs. No Titties.

[TomD]

Don't worry, that whole "Calista Not Flockhart" thing up there had me confused too. I couldn't figure out why the Ally McBeal actress would be on the election news tonight, or why her forehead would be of any import.

[Almanian]

Good call. And when she turns sideways and gets that raptor look, I hear the same clicky throaty growl that The Predator makes....

Scary

[Fatty Bolger]

Turn around...

[Lucy Steigerwald]

Clever girl!

[sound of British man being devoured.]

[Almanian]

I WONDER WHAT THE URKOBOLD HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS....

Did I say that out loud?

[SIV]

Newt comes out to Hulk Hogan's theme. Does the cheering crowd know he's now a member of the nWo?

[Almanian]

NEWTONIUM. NEWTONIUM. NEWTONIUM.

Huh, they said if you see it three times, he,.asA\RF]EPWIRN,.

[Almanian's Ghost]

I wonder who Wu Tang Clan is supporting. Cause it can't be Obamster.

They strike me as Paul guys. Whatcha think?

[Almanian's Ghost]

This presser is a lot more fun with the sound turned off.

[omnibot]

and the vodka turned up

[RoboCain]

Newt is still trying to sell his Lincoln-Douglas Obama debate.

[shrike]

Newt is so full of shit on energy.

Those ignorant hicks actually believe him too.

[John]

If only he were like Obama. And could get people to vote for him thinking he would not start any new wars, close GUTMO, and respect civil liberties and maybe refrain from killing American citizens. If only, right Shrike?

What is it like to be the dumbest person on earth Shrike? Tell us.

[shrike]

When Romney finally wraps this thing up he will have spent all summer gaffing and the GOP convention will be like a fucking morgue in September.

Obama is a 3-2 favorite over your field with the bookies.

[John]

Obama is going to lose big. But don't worry Shriek, President Romney will just allow you to pretend you give a shit about civil liberties and wars again.

[Drax the Destroyer]

Whoever wins (sans Paul), we Lose. Welcome to the world of Brazil.

[Robert]

I can hardly wait for the dreams.

[Hugo Longbone]

My field is the American Redoubt. I can't wait for this fucking kabuki theater to end. You, your ilk and the retards in the loyal opposition want more tribute? Best be ready to pry it from cold dead hands.

[Ted S.]

Newt is so full of shit on everything.

[Olive Oyl]

He is shit on energy. That describes Newt to a tee, energized shit.

[omnibot]

If I sent someone to a website to watch a thirty minute speech on Newt's gas plan, they wouldn't really be a 'friend' anymore.

[Joe M]

New current CNN.com headline: "Santorum gets on the board"

[Lost_In_Translation]

ewwwwww, someone get a garden hose and some lysol.

[omnibot]

Ron Paul may have won North Dakota!

[CE]

CNN has him at 21 percent, with 6 pct reporting

[Joe M]

CNN.com saying Paul got 3 delegates in Virginia.

[Max]

Choo, choo, choo, choo

[CE]

Not surprised Ron Paul is only at 5 percent in Georgia, but 7 percent in Ohio is disappointing. I didn't know there were so many neocons there.

Vermont: 25 percent
Virginia: 41 percent

[Drax the Destroyer]

When an economy is destroyed by unions and overall incompetence, a large percentage of the people join the military, or at least worship it, because it's the only thing they are vaguely attached to that can "win" anything. And by win, I mean blow up Tusken Raiders (includes women and children) with sky steel.

[Fluffy]

Paul should pick up 3 or 4 delegates out of Vermont, too.

[omnibot]

I keep reading this as stupidville, Ohio

[db]

The Derp of the 'Burgh!

[Peyton Manning]

Enough with this primary crap. My man Paul has as much a shot as I do winning another Super Bowl for Indianapolis.

So where do the Reasonites want me to go?

[omnibot]

MIAMI

[Fluffy]

Hell

[Ted S.]

Damn you, Fluffy!

[Ted S.]

Hell.

[John]

Kansas City. You watch. It is another Midwestern city. They have a good defense. Good talent at the skill positions on offense. And play in a weak division.

[Ted S.]

It's outside. I don't see Manning playing outside unless it's someplace warm like Miami.

[shrike]

Redskins make sense. Not that I care about them. They are on the verge and need a QB.

[omnibot]

He's not going into a division against his brother, dumbass

[shrike]

You've got to have an owner stupid enough to fork out a lot for a guy at the end of his career.

There are not many of those.

[John Thacker]

Snyder certainly qualifies on that front.

Although it does appear that Peyton has been even better in his career than people realized, considering how much Indy sucked without him.

[shrike]

All the Skins have is Rex Grossman.

I'd bet a grand on the Skins against any other single team right now.

Or 10-1 against the field.

[DK]

If you want the easiest path to a Super Bowl - Jets or Niners.

[Niner Fan]

*Crosses fingers*

[Robert]

Got this recently:

Our team is the original American football team in the Czech Republic, we play in the Czech league and we have a non-league game set up against a team in Germany for this spring. We have a young team, that is chucked full of potential and talent and a solid QB is the missing piece for us this Spring. As far as what we are offering, here is the run down of that.

? roundtrip ticket to the most beautiful city on the planet

? housing

? daily meals 2x

? $700/month for three months, with potential of one more month if we make the playoffs.

? Gym pass

? help the original football team in the Czech Republic return to it's proper place!

? get the opportunity to work with a good solid core of young players!

[Robert]

As long as I can post >900 chars. now, here's the preamble to the above:

Thank you for getting back to me. We are against the wall a little bit here, as we have had two guys flake out on us. We have a Wednesday deadline with this, so we need to get moving. Here's what we are looking for in the QB

? Character guy & Solid leader, as we have a young team, that is full of potential!

? Quality Passer and Runner - we run a form of Spread to Run offense, so the ability to be a threat with our Zone Read is key!

? Ability to coach other QBs

? teachable and coachable

[Robert]

And the postamble:

I'm attaching our head coach to this email, to include him in the conversation. Thanks for your help in advance!

[TomD]

I can't believe that CNN still hasn't fixed that glaring Virginia error (that Ron Paul isn't on the ballot), as noted by Jesse Walker in the tweet stream.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/06/.....index.html

Paul is actually pulling 40+ percent in Virginia, head to head with Romney. That's a pretty damned strong showing, actually.

[John Thacker]

Yes and no. It's going to likely mean no delegates, because Virginia becomes winner-take-all (by district?) when a candidate pulls 50%+.

It's still an interesting test case.

[TomD]

I don't know the nuts-and-bolts of Virgina's delegate allocation (I'm seeing posts at the DailyPaul that say Paul will be gaining a handful because of certain county results), but that wasn't really my point anyway: By "strong showing," I just mean it's pretty cool, and pretty telling, that Ron Paul can garner 4 out of 10 votes in a matchup against Romney.

[Joe M]

Paul got a majority in one congressional district, so he wins three delegates in Virginia.

[John Thacker]

Ah, one of the Appalachian mountain districts.

Romney runs poorly in the same places where Obama runs poorly.

[Bee Tagger]

NBC Breaking News: there is no news from Ohio. These are the things you do when no one watches your Must Watch TV.

[Brian from Texas]

I guess Gingrich is going to stay in the race and be a figure of our ridicule seeing as how he won on his home turf, as if no one saw that coming.

[omnibot]

People really are stupid if they'll vote for the guy just cause he's from there.

Chris Matthews, classy as always:

(paraphrasing)
"Look at Mitt Romney there, have you seen anyone look less tea party? Look at him, looking all genteel and calm and letting his wife finish her points. He couldn't be further from the tea party."

[Bee Tagger]

Mitt looking to keep the Ron Paul alliance rumors going. He praised his campaign much more heartily than Santorum's or Gingrich's.

[omnibot]

Ron Paul up to 27% in ND, 49% reporting

[omnibot]

OT: My beer label has some arabic script on it.

Not all arabs are muslims.

[shrike]

Romney-Pawlenty ticket.

T-Paw earned it and he is mid-western and more boring than Milt.

[Bee Tagger]

He would be foolish to not make a run at Rand Paul. I'm a disgusting Northerner so I don't know if Kentucky is legit South, but Rand's accent sure sounds legit enough to pull some Southern love Romney's way.

[shrike]

RP = better ideology.

But Romney needs Rust Belt help bad.

[Bee Tagger]

Mitt Romney, representing the party of personal responsibility:

"You have not failed, your President has failed you."

It's the anti-JFK but just as statist.

"I will cut taxes for job creators."

If they cut back to the MSNBC talking heads right now, I will be shocked if there isn't blood coming from their ears and eyes.

[Fist of Etiquette]

But the government doesn't pay taxes.

That's what MSNBC calls tax cuts.

Tom Brokaw thinks people that would realistically ever vote for Romney cared about his multiple Cadillacs comment. Hard to believe the world has passed him by with such incisive analysis like that.

[Lost_In_Translation]

now if he had multiple 60's Cadillacs...

[omnibot]

I now hate you North Dakota.

[nicole]

ND is kind of creeping me out, actually. Not many places where you find Paul doing super well where Santorum is the one winning...is something weird going on with which districts have reported or just...a thing?

[Lost_In_Translation]

They thought they were voting in the Canadian parlimentaries for the MP of Saskatchewan.

[shrike]

What is the voter turnout in ND? About 2500? Easy to corrupt a small batch.

[Fluffy]

What I don't get about ND is that the Google map shows the Fargo vote already counted, but there's only like 150 votes total.

It sure looked like a lot more than 150 people at the caucus site where Paul was speaking live earlier.

[Lost_In_Translation]

You have to be able to recite the Canadian national anthem to get a ballot. Weird rules those NDians.

[A Serious Man]

I wouldn't mind one bit if Canada were to annex North Dakota.

[Lost_In_Translation]

Would anyone notice?

[omnibot]

Read up on NW Angle.

[Bee Tagger]

I hate to blatantly mimic George Carlin but I can't help but root for chaos at this point. I want to see everything up in the air when they get to the convention.

[omnibot]

can someone else win if the convention is up for grabs, legally?

[A Serious Man]

If no winner is declared after the first ballot then the pledged delegats are released and we see some good ol fashioned wheeling and dealing. So presumably anyone can be nominated at that point.

[Lost_In_Translation]

A pox on all their houses...

[Bee Tagger]

Can anyone name a real person who likes Chris Matthews? He's giggling like he's in on some constant inside joke throughout MSNBC's coverage.

[nicole]

If by "constant inside joke" you mean "really bad drugs"...

[Max]

Ron Paul is such disappointment. All that neo-Nazi cash, and he can't break through.

[Mr. FIFY]

Got a paper trail for "all that Neo-Nazi cash", Max?

Stupid bastard.

[Bee Tagger]

Who knew! Michael Moore was free to show up on MSNBC.

[omnibot]

I'm sure he has something wise to add.

[Chupacabra]

I bet he brought a truckload of twinkies.

[Michael Moore]

The truck was half-empty before it got pulled up to the loading dock.

[Michael Moore;s Diet Coach]

Why do I keep passing out? And why do my shirt collars smell like chloroform?

Mitt Romney is dominating Idaho. What are Paul's chances for Alaska?

[Lost_In_Translation]

*reads the tea leaves*

you don't want to know...

[Captain Obvious]

What are Paul's chances for Alaska?

Idaho. Alaska.

[Baked Alaska]

A tasty dessert.

What did Delaware?

"Half this country is not part of the 1%" - Chris Matthews

[omnibot]

I am not staying up past 11 watching this.

[Hugo Longbone]

I look for the collapse of the state and life in the world to come.

[shrike]

Santorum money moving long on Intrade.

Romney just fell $6 in half an hour.

[John Thacker]

Huh, Obama really isn't winning that much of the vote in OK in the Dem primary. Randall Terry, the Operation Rescue guy, is going to get enough to win some delegates.

[John Thacker]

Results here.

56% for Obama, 18% for Randall Terry. Jim Rogers has 14.17%, needs 15% for delegates.

[SIV]

I was drinking with a bunch of Operation Rescue people in a Florida bar back in the 80s. It was right after a high profile (national news covered) clinic protest. I recall they were defying some new law. I didn't discuss their "single issue" at all but I did a 180 to the positive on my opinion of them. Randall Terry was in town but not hammering scotch and beers with us.

[omnibot]

if only Santorum had attended Milford Academy.

"I think that's the wonderful thing about America, a lot of people voted for the first African-American, they just weren't talking about it" - Chris Matthews, discussing the "silent majority" concept

Ohio's looking to be a photo finish

[Bee Tagger]

Rachel Maddow was smart to sit beside Matthews, Schultz, and ODonnell. It makes her look downright professional.

[shrike]

You must love MSNBC.

I'm CNN. I like guys from both teams fighting.

[Bee Tagger]

I figured not many others would have the patience to sit through it and I felt like I could fill a need.

[Mr. FIFY]

I smell bullshit. Must've been shrike's post just above.

[Drax the Destroyer]

She definitely has the biggest cock of that bunch. Kudos Rachel. Kudos.

[Gus C]

Rachel is a funny name for a boy.

[shrike]

Fuck. Romney only 2000 down in Ohio. He will pull this thing out.

[nicole]

WTF is happening in Wyoming? Okay, only 13% reporting, but Ron Paul gets 3% to Santorum's 41%? Wyoming, I want to live in you! Stop it!

[Richard Cheney]

grumble grumble

[Drax the Destroyer]

The amazing thing about states that terrorists will never attack is that the citizens of such states are so fearful of terrorist attacks that have rained down on some of the most liberal areas of the country that they will inherently support the same system that has promoted such attacks while claiming (incorrectly) to curb such attacks. What a bunch of pussies.

[shrike]

Romney wins Ohio. Dammit.

[cynical]

I always suspected you had a fondness for Santorum.

[Bee Tagger]

I assume MSNBC is aware that the more they criticize Santorum, the more it convinces conservatives that he's actually a conservative and tea party-friendly. Assuming this, what does it say about their focus on the absurdity that is the Rick Santorum campaign? A conspiratorial effort to make Obama's re-election easier? Or just an inability to hold back their shock that someone like Santorum can do so well in this day/age?

I was gonna vote for Ron Paul, but then I got high.

[Idaho Barry]

I was gonna vote for Ron Paul, but then I got high.

I remember there used to be one thing positive about Ohio.

Ron Paul hasn't won shit! What happened?

[omnibot]

Henry Winkler will always be best known as Barry Zuckerkorn. If anyone disagrees, there will be a fight.

[omnibot]

not everyone can pull off pink jeans like Buster Bluth.

[Mr. FIFY]

I had to take an epic shit. Did I miss anything?
