Is it wrong?

[Separation]

So I'm in bed with the wife and watching Bill Maher and he is interviewing a guy that deals with statistics, and asks him what the chance is the Obama would lose the popular vote but win the electoral. The guy responds slim, he will win both more than likely.

So is it wrong that I think the tears of the right would taste delicious if Obama lost the popular but still wins the election?

1. I would like to see President Obama win 60-40

just to prove all these polls full of shit


the polls are trying to be the news

3. That is also what I wish for.

2. Not 'wrong;' you are welcome to your 'delicious,'

but THINK of the uproar!!! BAD enough from the p.o.s's if PrezO wins both, but LOSE the popular and WIN notwithstanding?

4. There would be some kind of satisfaction in saying, "eat shit! Obama is

still President and he's still black!" Even though they brainwashed enough morans to win the popular vote. That and reminding them that Gore won the popular vote and we were stuck with Bush.

I hope that doesn't happen though. I hope he wins both handily along with gains in Congress. He really needs to win the popular by a little bit anyway. You can't expect the right to be good sports about it like we were when Gore lost. It would add even more legitimacy to their obstruction tactics.

6. +1

Your probably right. While it would it initially would be funny as hell to listen to them cry at first, it would end up as fun locked in a closet with three colicky babies.

Besides Obama is my president now and still will be time next year.
