The Other 2008 election.

· · 🌡️ 33°F

Have you heard? It is virtually impossible for Clinton to get the nomination? Reports of Clinton's Demise are Greatly Underexaggerated.

But let me talk about a few of my favorite candidates for Senate seats in other states.

First, Scott Kleeb. He is running for Chuck Hagel's empty seat. I will miss Chuck. He was GOP, but he is in a small club of prominent Republicans I respect. I know virtually nothing about Kleeb, other than he ran for Congress in a blood red district and damn near won. One thing I am positive about is that he is abso-freakin-lutely adorable.

it may be 20 degrees out, but things are getting steamy in here.


Next, let's go to Oregon. Gordon Smith is up for reelection. A Republican in a blue state with a strong independent streak. Gordy seems like he would be more at home in a more traditionally red state, but this is a wacky election. Environmental Activist and Lawyer Steve Novick is running for the Democratic nomination. Here he is holding a picture of Gordon.

Yes, that is a hook hand. Novick was born with a few physical impairments and has a very compelling story. Unlike Bob Dole, he does not hide his physical impairments, in fact, he flaunts it. His campaign slogan is "The Candidate With a Strong Left Hook".

Want to support him? Well go to his site and order a bottle of 'Left Hook Lager'. Buying beer to support a candidate seems to quintessentially Oregonian.

Think I am kidding?

Buy a bottle and support him.

    Great Article about the Clinton Campaign James, That's kind of what I was trying to say last week. They put it in good perspective. Wish I would have thought of this one;
    "In other words: The notion of the Democratic contest being a dramatic cliffhanger is a game of make-believe."
    PS. my Father in law is going to Pennsylvania to work for the Obama Campaign next week.

    Jbeatty: I know the last two presidential elections beer washed a lot of disappointment down.

    dcoffee: I have been trying to articulately say the same thing with difficulty as well. Usually I would just throw up an endless stream of polls, delegate numbers, and bile.

    ps. Your Father in law is awesome.

    Did you watch his campaign ads on youtube (scott)? They are pretty bad. That picture you have of him looks like a photo from a playgirl spread. Maybe they can make him an offer if things don't pan out for him in the political arena.

    I was hoping to see him animate in "Nebraska Butt Packers 6" but if he has terrible internet adds I will watch them gladly.

    Speaking of making offers if politics don't work out. Our disgraced Governor has been offered a sweet deal to pose for Playgirl. :::link:::

    Me-ow!
