2. Great news!

Wasn't she up around 13points before this debacle? Sure hope MN6 closes the deal and throws her sorry ass to the curb.

Awesome to see first hand how effective internet activism can be.

3. The pathologies of those 43-44% are so virulent as to be breathtaking

:P

5. Go, er, Elwyn!

(Seriously, Elwyn Tinklenburg? By jove, what a silly name.)

6. I hope he has a normal middle name

"Hussein" would be good.

This is definitely the year that John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt would have a great shot at office!

11. LOL !!! Wow I used to sing that at camp. About 40 yrs ago.

'...whenever he goes out
the people always shout
there goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. na na na na na na na
(repeat)
----------------

hmm, I've been thinking of changing my DU name, anyhow.
May I shoudl create DU Poll..
But I can't do the graphic box with the little checkmark boxes.
Maybe I'll just ask for some ideas first.

12. You can't change your name - that name is MY name /nt

[Blaze Diem]

14. YOU are John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? Here on DU??

Nice to meet you in that case.
Did I mention that I really like your theme song?
lol.. Blaze D

[jberryhill]

17. You should hear them scream and shout whenever I go out! /nt

7. There is a God. n/t

9. Hey Michelle, you know all those anti-American/anti-Patriotic talking points

the Bush/Rove team told you to say to assure your place in Congress?
Um, well they just made it up.
You were duped.
"Anti-American" is so yesterday, Michelle.
The American people have moved beyond the Bushco 'anti-American' mantra?

Maybe there's a place for you in Sarah Palin's AIP World.
Palin, Hasselbeck, and now Bachmann.
Palin must be selecting her Cabinet for her 2012 Presidential Victory.

13. Thanks. I'm keeping my eye on one of the best investments I've ever

made. The best of course is Obama, but this one is running a close second.

[endthewar]

15. It's going to be a long election night indeed

just not for the presidential race. :evilgrin:

16. Gives me a Tinklenberg sensation up my leg
