So far... Mike Huckabee's won in West Virginia, much to the relief of fundie Walker: Texas Ranger fans everywhere. Elsewhere, Obama looks like taking Georgia in his never-ending battle for a stalemate with Hillary.
Elsewhere...
Cyman: Don't forget Ron Paul's policy that we're all descended from a guy who fucked his own rib.
warrenellis: Why are people still talking about Ron Paul?
Cyman: Haha. Point.

Walnuts? Wonkette reminds us of key points of John McCain's campaign.

What was that thing about a "good day to bury bad news"?

Matt Frei has just compared the "poetry of Obama to the hard prose of Clinton" on News 24. I think he just called her a Cylon...

ABC News is projecting an Obama win in Illinois, to the surprise of no-one with eyes, with McCain taking New Jersey and Conneticut. (Source, 01:04)
Results - Clinton projected to win Oklahoma for the Dems, McCain for Illinois, Romney for Massachusetts.

Orwellseyes: [WGN] reporting that the storms in arkansas knocked out power to Huckabee headquarters. God is apparently not happy.

tikistitch McCain is starting to look kind of inevitable. Interesting that this doesn't come 'til he's 8,467 years old. I wonder if he'll be our first president who's a head in a jar.
FyreBryhte: Better than his head in an ass. I mean his ass. Oh never mind. It was funnier in my mind.
Cyman: McCain would be the oldest president ever; but his mother is still kicking at 95, and he seems fine healthwise. I can't see why his age would be an issue for 4 years. His insanity, though... another story.
What does he do with all that rage? I imagine that the lasting image 90% of people have of Howard Dean is of his infamous scream speech in 04, so when I see him talking all monotone and unshouty I can't help wondering if he has to kick a kitten on his way home. (02:56)
Genuinely Terrifying Thought, courtesy of a Romney supporter who told the BBC's correspondent in Boston that if Mittens didn't get the GOP nod, she'd have to vote for Hillary. Ringing endorsement, that. (03:09)
Genuinely Terrifying Thought #2 - Mike Huckabee needs three microphones? (03:10)
Political speechwriters aren't WGA-affiliated, are they? Huckabee's at the microphone, and he was doing so well up until he mentioned the Second Amendment and...didn't really have a point to go with it. He's ended up quoting what I assume are college football chants. Which is why you should stick to the autocue. (03:15)
Genuinely Terrifying Thought #3 He may have been sticking to the autocue. (03:16)
Sweet creeping Jesus - if Romney wasn't in trouble before, he bloody well is now. His son's incredibly confused expression during the whole values/large military/RONALD REAGAN/America will become a second-tier power meander was surpassed only by that of his wife. Mittens! Mittens! Mittens!
Also noting that clearly "private sector" is a crowd buzzword up in Boston tonight, "wonderful military" not so much. (03:40)
Sam Seaborne? - Barry's got some awesome speechwriters hidden somewhere.
