iowa caucases

[JohnnyNeptune]

anyone even want to pretend they understand?

i'm not sure how the views of 250000 shitkickers from middle america can be *that* important in the year long borefest that is the race to the presidency.

that mike huckerbee's a bit mental isn't he

[CaptainSambuca]

I've just been reading profiles of all of the candidates, more than half of them would be locked up in this country

is there a book open on this, I reckon a tenner on John McCain might be an idea

[fgrfc_dan]

I read quite a large article about the elections in the Times the other day and emerged absolutely none the wiser. The only thing I can say for sure is that the process is long and crazy.

[sideshow]

very crazy, it takes a lot of commitment to register your preference in them, so loon pressure groups like the pro lifers, gun nuts and fundamentalists end up with a disproportionate influence.
that's the sum total of my knowledge.

[Will_75]

it's really quite straightforward sithers

some states have a game of british bulldog, some have a primary

then there's an election, and the one who gets fewer votes wins.

the other gets fat, and gets the nobel peace prize for making misleading cinema

the end

I think it's great. It might look a bit mental but at least the Yanks actually know where their polling stations are.

Been thinking the same about McCain myself samby, especially if the Democrats decide on Bill er I mean Hilary as their candidate.

[CaptainSambuca]

there is one very good reason to vote for huckabee though

[turtle]

MmmmmMcCain

[nsn]

I've got an A level in US politics (well 50% of it was US politics anyway) but I've clearly forgotten everything I knew at the time.

Hopefully there'll be enough meat left on the caucases to make a nice soup
