I’ve spent a good portion of today on the toilet.
I wanted to go out and watch the primary returns tonight with some friends, but, as there was a high probability that I’d end up shitting myself, I stayed home.
As a rule, I don’t go anywhere if there’s more than an 8% chance of my shitting myself.
There are exceptions; most notable are German festivals and all-you-can-eat buffets.
Speaking of the returns, it looks like Obama might be winning Texas. I guess Hillary’s fear mongering didn’t pay off. (It also doesn’t help, I guess, when you make the people in the press covering your campaign file their stories from tables next to urinals.)

Okay, I was eating pizza when I read “high probability that I’d end up shitting myself”, and I almost chocked :D
Hope you feel better.
Somehow she won Texas and Ohio:

I know I can’t be the only one wondering this, but I wonder just how much of her vistory was Democratic support and how much is Republican tinkering by jumping party lines and voting for her in hopes she will be the nominee for the dems.
But then again, maybe Clinton’s (whether direct from her campaign or through surrogates) fear mongering worked. Despite my best efforts, my own mother has fell hook line and sinker for the “is Obama really a Christian, do we really want a Muslim running America?” line of crap. Sigh.
Hillary’s plan – to make him “blacker” – has worked.

I think Hillary will probably be the Democratic nominee. She should win Pennsylvania by 8-10 points. It’s Ohio only worse: Rendell, old people, racists in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, machines in Phil Pitts Scranton, white Unions, white gun nuts, and ethic catholics. So Obama won small states early and H won big states late. Every delegate not nailed down will be pressured to go H.
Q: Will Michigan get some sort of re-do? We should as we are a key state that could go R in the general election — unlike say Tx which there is now way a D wins there in the fall. Same goes for Florida, will they get a re-do?
I shit 8% of my pants watching the returns last night.
[As I own 50 pairs of pants, that means I shat 4 of them.]
Obama’s campaign manager puts yesterday in perspective:
I’d seriously consider whether the German festival or all-you-can-eat buffet was the cause of your lower intestinal distress.
I’d just like to point out that Obama has won more Texas delegates than Clinton and will win more as caucus results keep coming in. It’s a crazy system but I think if Obama has the most delegates then he’s the real winner in Texas.
