Obama May Still Lose! Doomsday Scenarios that Would Cost Him the Nomination.

[Frank Booth]

I was compelled to post these because they're funny. Slate ran a contest where people came up with scenarios that would cost Obama the nomination.

Here are a few:

Obama photographed raising pinky while sipping latte!

Pictures of an 8-year-old Obama in his local neighborhood bomb-making class with William Ayers and other Weather Undergrounders.

Hillary goes back in time to kill Obama’s mother

There is only one unforgivable crime in America … dogfighting.

The reason he doesn't believe the government created AIDS is because he did.

Hillary appeals to the Supreme Court, which, based upon a 2000 ruling, decides that the candidate with fewer votes wins the election.

1. Bill gets caught cheating again, ensuring a Hillary wins rest of the primaries in a sympathy vote

:shrug:

2. My favorite

Hillary Clinton must parachute into Pakistan while under heavy sniper fire, infiltrate al-Qaida using a fake beard, putty nose, and duct tape, and capture Osama Bin Laden, whilst singing the “Star Spangled Banner” with one hand over her heart and an American flag lapel pin prominently shown on her outfit. She must film all of this in HD and create a montage scored to Lee Greenwood's “God Bless the U.S.A.” Meanwhile, Barack Obama must publicly convert to Islam and change his name to Osama Hafez al-Mohammed Hussein Ayatollah Obama, while burning an American flag in the Crystal Cathedral as he replaces the crucifix with a do-it-yourself Piss Christ, while performing an abortion on the exhumed body of Terri Schiavo. He should also be naked. It should then rain frogs. That ought to do it.—

5. Yeah, that's a good one. Though the do-it-yourself Piss Christ seals the deal.

Without that happening, I think Obama's still got it.

18. Duzy stuff here. :=D

[Johnny__Motown]

23. He would still have more pledged delegates, the GE would be lost but he might STILL beat Hillary

[rucky]

3. The heavens open from the sky...

[silverweb]

4. Great stuffl!

:rofl:

[RichardRay]

6. I completely agree with the pick for #1

yes, Senator Clinton could still become the nominee, just as spontaneous quantum tunneling could occur sometime before the heat death of the universe.

[taterguy]

7. Shut the fuck up Walter

[SlipperySlope]

8. Trips on stairs...

He trips walking down the stairs...
...unfortunately lands face-first on one of his daughter's gerbils...
...photo captured by a paparazzi...

Headline runs: Obama bites head off live rat!

[msallied]

10. I could think of another scenario with gerbils that might not go over so well...

2 words: Richard Gere. lol

[msallied]

9. Or if he screams at the top of his lungs:

"This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!!" And then he takes a baseball bat to her campaign bus.

[Frank Booth]

11. You've got a date Wednesday, baby!

[msallied]

15. Can we go to the In and Out Burger? lol

[AllentownJake]

16. That would be priceless.

[Window]

12. Too funny.

[LSK]

13. Obama hired Bin Laden to shoot JFK, wait till Hannity gets ahold of that one

:crazy:

[nomaco-10]

14. Well, she would already be the nominee if ....

we were playing by republican rules. Know that. I swear she's becoming more demented by the day.

[AllentownJake]

17. However

Its important that every state get a voice....

[Johnny__Motown]

24. If we were playing by those rules he would have used a different strategy, and still won.

Look how close California was, and that was a huge stronghold for her.



I disagree with your assumption that Obama would have lost if the rules were different

[anigbrowl]

19. Obama breaks promise to earthlings, runs for leader of Galaxy

[whistler162]

20. Now if he was from Honolulu Hawaii that would end it.....

:evilgrin: :silly:

[IDemo]

21. Goes for a drive in the country with Dennis Kucinich and they both are abducted by a UFO

Or attempts to windsurf in a bowling alley and is sent to Latte Looney Institution.

[Better Believe It]

22. K & R

Sorry. Didn't notice that you had posted this information until just a minute ago.

I duplicated it with a slightly different caption.

Not sure what can be done.

[democrattotheend]

25. They discover the black child

27. Hey, and he sleeps with a black woman

Don't forget that.

[democrattotheend]

28. Scandalous!

[melody]

26. They could avoid the convention and use rock, paper, scissors instead

:silly:

[AtomicKitten]

29. And Barack wins!

[melody]

30. But of course :) n/t

[laughingharder]

31. Puhlease

If pigs fly, he will lose.

[Gore1FL]

32. I think a better way of putting it...

is if all of his delegates ride flying pigs to go ice skating in Hell.

[TragedyandHope]

33. PLEASE, PLEASE, Obama, don't have a dog fighting ring in your past

:rofl:

[Bullet1987]

34. An astroid lands on top of him...that could end his quest for the nomination
