    Yee-Haw! My Vote Cancels Out Y'all's!

    By Moneyline et al
    February 4, 2008 | Issue 40•03

    Well, damn, man, it's pretty soon gonna be president election time again, and that means we gotta start thinkin' about who's gonna be the one we want to be president. That's some important stuff, who's president, because whoever's president will be in charge of the whole dang shootin' match. And, if y'all are like me, you know America's president needs to be the kind of old boy who, in the first place, kicks him some damn ass, and in the second place, don't listen to all that bitchin' about how he shouldn't be kickin' so much ass. And, if you ain't like me, guess what? My vote cancels out y'all's!

    Now, you probably waste a whole lotta good-fishin' Saturdays readin' yourself the papers, watchin' all the talk on the TV, and sittin' around thinkin' real hard about which way you gonna vote. Well, it's a real shame, then, ain't it, that all that time you spend in real careful considerin' don't count for nothin', once my vote runs y'all's right off the road.

    Shoot, neighbor, if there's one type'a guy you don't want in charge, it's some damn weaklin' in the White House what won't kick enough ass. Bush, that guy we got now, he kicked him some ass in that old desert. And Bush's daddy? He kicked him some ass, too. Reagan? Kicked all the ass he could, and some they said he shouldn't! But Clinton? Barely no ass-kickin' at all. Just got his ol' joint tugged by a fat girl, and hell, I could do that down by the Dew Drop Inn off I-78. What's the damn use of bein' the Commander-Chief if that's all you're gonna do? Face it, bein' president is a job of work for ass-kickers, and if you say otherwise, hell, I got a vote here what totally negates yours.

    So maybe you ain't a patriot like I am. Now, when I say patriot, I'm talkin' about most of our athletes, country-music stars, and guys like me what agree with them. So, say you ain't a patriot, and you're fixin' to vote up a candidate what's some limpo what'll give in to the crybaby liberals, the damn screechin' women, the commies at the United Nations, and the other America-haters. Fine by me! I got a vote here that does just as much good as yours, and mine's marked "No Limpos!"

    Or say you wanna take away the money we need for our Army tanks and rifles and fightin' planes what let us keep our eternal vigilance of freedom by invadin' other countries. And say you want to give it to the damn schoolteachers, which let me tell you never done old Duane any damn good, and still, they most times drive a newer car than I do. I learned all I got from my daddy—another guy without any fancy book smarts, by the way. If he didn't need them books, then why do anybody else? Well, hey, I might not be educated, but I do got me a big ol' flag, $300 from the government, and a president that, like I told you before, kicked him some ass. It's things like that what make me happy my vote gonna meet y'all's toe-to-toe and take it down!

    Plus, what's more, I got to see Saddam get his ass throwed in jail. That's a big ol' switch-a-dilly from a few years ago, when Saddam was runnin' around free while Moneyline was in the tank, let me tell you.

    So maybe you think what we got here is one a them Mexican pissin' matches, what with my vote and your vote both bein' worth the exact same. But I tell you what! There's all the guys workin' down here at the budget-transmission shop with me, and the guys at the body shop across the way, and the car-battery dismantlin' yard. Plus, there's all our pals at the Dew Drop off 78, and all our other pals at the County Dragaway, and our big ol' families, and our wives, for those what have 'em. Read me? In this next election, whenever they set it to come around, we gonna go up agin' all you guys at the coffee shop and the library. Now, if you ain't noticed, we got a lot more parkin' lot space down at the racetrack and the Farm & Fleet store than y'all do out in front of your bookstores and muffin shops. All of us add up real quick, and our votes do a damn bunch more than just cancel out all y'all's!

    Shit, somehow we do it ever' time we need to keep the damn school board from gettin' uppity on us.

    So hey, man, have fun readin' up and debatin' and thinkin' on what you gonna mark down on your votin' papers this year. Moneyline ain't thought too much yet about which way his vote's gonna go. But somethin' tells me, friend, it ain't gonna be the same as y'alls!

      Clearly the OP lives in the East (but not in Connecticut)!

      It's harding a landslide for Bill's wife. In fact the popular vote between Clinton and Obama is about even, the lady up by a measly 20,000 votes nationwide.

      Still miles to go.

          What's funny is the Democratic party thought she would have it wrapped up after today.

                Clinton underperformed and Romney flopped tonight. Mitt's exit will likely come after he loses again next week. For Hillary, this could be the beginning of a very slow downhill slide to an astonishing loss at the Democratic Convention. Her losses tonight in Connecticut and Missouri can only be seen as stunning to her strategists and now she has severe cracks in her game plan. At this point I think Obama is going to need to misstep in order to thwart the impending momentum he is gaining.

                  ...then you will be among the many betting the Repubs at a large plus price we presume?

                  Do the math people, going into today Hillary was still favored to win the nomination and the Dems were still up around -200. Even if Obama winning the nomination would imply him as a lock for the presidency, that still leaves a hefty chance that Hillary is your next president.

                  Plus, you underestimate how many of us despise all bible-beating Republicans after these last 8 years of disaster.

                      I think you underestimate how many Democrats, Independants, and Republicans despise Hillary Clinton. If Bush were running again, you'd have a solid argument but he isn't. It appears that you are impressed by the odds as if the linesmakers employed by sportsbooks have some incredible insight as to how this contest might play out. When November rolls around there will be a completely different political landscape and the odds will have been revised thousands of times. Thinking -200 is a mandate 9 months out is foolhardy when evaluating US politics. New England was -435 right before kickoff (in an event where linesmakers have considerably more expertise) and look how things worked out for them.

                        Didn't Kerry destroy Bush in California?

                        The whole nation counts, and unlike general elections, Democratic primaries split their votes based on congressional districts so Obama will capture plenty of delegates from California. Closer evaluation of tonight's results show an equal divide among Democratic voters and Obama is trending up which is dragging Clinton down. In addition to that, Obama just raised 32 million in January vs 14 million for Clinton. I'm afraid things are not looking good for her as we speak.

                          True regarding NE, and yes, I remember Kerry soaring to a huge minus price on election day 4 years ago too. However the Republicans on this board keep saying the same thing - that Hillary can't win. I'm just wondering how the line of Dems-200 could be holding so steady over the last couple months if this is the case. Either these people are not gamblers or Spiro & others are running charitable operations and not moving their price.

                          It's just another manifestation of people using the word "lock" on everyday games that are far from certain. Of course she CAN win the presidency. Will she? I dunno.

                            Now all of that I agree with. This contest is by no means a lock on any side of the equation.

                              This thread's title might be the most off-target since the "Poor Performance by the SEC" thread.

                                This thread is way off. Obama was the big winner last night. More states and more delegates and more momentum and more money and favorable states in the next 2 weeks. Obama is going to win the nomination.

                                  Current results have Obama now in the lead in overall Delegates 838-834, though Clinton expected to come out ahead once everything's counted.

                                  This will all come down to the superdelegates -- which means, once again, our votes don't count.

                                    I thought Obama had a huge night. Hillary needed some separation to remain in control. Obama has the momentum and more money. He might be able to pull it off.

                                    Clinton was saved by Calif., NY and NJ. Huge wins that she desperately needed.
