Primarily Peeved

I’m tired of the election already and we don’t even know who’s running. The way the media have treated Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich prevents those on the left and the right from being able to affect their party’s platform.

The nominee on the right will be Romney, Huckabee, or McCain. At least there are distinctions that can be made among those three. Do you want a slick corporate tool with somewhat bizarre yet personal religious convictions, or a religious fundamentalist who wants a new constitution because god didn’t get enough input on the first draft, or a hardened veteran with right wing views?

On the left we will have a choice between a guy with a razor cut and a polished manner who will turn everyone off because he’s a lawyer and he talks like one, or a woman with a past, or a man with a future.

    Explanation: Two of the counties in Nevada came out as a draw. So by Nevada’s rules the delegate choice for those counties was made by drawing cards. In both cases the representative of Obama drew a higher card than the representative of Hillary, thus Obama gets more delegates than does Clinton althought she won the popular vote.
    The losing respresentative of Hillary was called Kuntz.

    Jeez, Frank, do I have to explain these crazy Nevada rules to Americans too? It spoils the joke :-(

    “Three statisticians go duck hunting. Their dog chases out a duck and it starts to fly. The first statistician aims and takes his shot, it misses a foot too high. The second statistician aims and takes his shot, it misses a foot too low. The third statistician says, “We got him!”"

    I was concerned that you had fallen prey to some bizarre German form of Tourette syndrome.
