Super Fat Tuesday updates
I’ll be updating this thread with primary results and other information as it comes in over my teletype.
- First results of the day: West Virginia goes to … Mike Huckabee? That’s 18 delegates for the Huckster. UPDATE: Reason is reporting that the Huckabee and Paul camps cut a deal to keep Romney from winning the state.
- Rush Limbaugh weighs in (and he has a lot to throw around) against McCain.
- What’s left of the Grateful Dead endorse Obama, giving him an edge in the critical “50 year-old burnouts who will probably forget to vote” demographic. The Dead also gave Obama some campaign trail advice, saying he’d better “watch his speed” and “sometimes the cards ain’t worth a dime if you don’t you lay ’em down.”
- Political markets show Clinton and Obama in a statistical dead heat.
- From Politico.com: Clinton is the projected winner in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Obama takes Georgia and Illinois. Romney wins Massachusetts and … nothing else so far. Huckabee projected winner in three states. McCain currently leading the Republicans with four. I’m going to the bar. Full write up tomorrow.
In the end, I don’t think it will matter who the delegates are. Word on the street is that construction on the President’s new planetary space station is nearing completion. I understand the President’s right hand man Darth Cheney is overseeing the final stages. There will be no more need for delegates or elections. Fear will keep the other parties in line. The dark side really is stronger. And gets cooler costumes.
Death to Hillary the Hutt.
