. . . candidates get when they lose.
Comments on McCain sparked this, but I also remember watching Dole on Letterman after he was defeated and thinking he may have one if he acted more like that.
Gore got a lot more friendly after he got beat--grew a beard, put on weight, smiled more, and started talking about global warming more.
Maybe the conventional wisdom about how to behave in a campaign isn't so wise!

When Obama wins . . .Category: football
. . . you can thank/blame the Steelers, for beating the Washington Redskins.
. . . Or McCain, for speaking at halftime with EMPTY SEATS and DISINTERESTED PEOPLE behind him. Hey John--this race is televised!
Did you see this? It's like he wants to lose!

Yeah, dammit, the Skins blew it of course. I'm still mad at the Steelers D for handing me a loss in FFL though.
I don't think it's the end of the world if Obama wins, but it is the end of the world if the left wing gets a supermajority.

I have never seen an ad like that at that site.
It's interesting that my home state is in play. It has been blue state for the past two elections (at least). For a really good analysis on the crazy electoral dynamics of PA, check out This American Life:

Sorry I missed you. I was running a gaggle of 10 year old boys with short attention spans. We were on the other side of Elmwood. After working that side of Anderson, Atlantic and that side of Lexington, they were losing it and this Zombie needed a beer.
Go Steelers

comment became a postI told tiny that my comment was too long and became a post, so now I have to back it up.
But I was lying.
The party was fun. Now I have to begin my novel.

What is the general plot outline of your novel, does it have murder?

I agree. It sort of seems that as candidates these people become some type of weird pod-people. It doesn't make any sense. Despite evident intelligence, Gore was the most dry, uninteresting thing running, like some lifeless drone. Later, after the run, he was actually funny in some of his presentation, and I kept thinking: "Where the hell were YOU a few months ago?"
