This is the primary that will never end...aah!
I think that we should re-think our primary/caucus process. It has been going on over a year now. We have two great candidates. I am so tired of the mudslinging that I am starting to think that constitutional monarchy might be a good idea...Norway, Denmark and The Netherlands...they seem to be doing pretty well!

:P

Before the inevitable flamewar, let me say I am joking...somewhat


:think:

1. OK, but only if I'm king.

2. Oh great...now we can have this argument

The King/Queen will be decided by a game of Trivial Pursuit, in addition to an obstacle course and essay contest.

It might be arbitrary, but is it really more complicated than Super Delegates?

4. I'm totally down for that.
I never lose Trivial Pursuit, the obstacle course was my best event back in junior-high-school Olympics, and I'm a writer by trade.

The crown is mine!

But don't worry. I will be a benevolent monarch. I ask only for your unconditional love and unswerving loyalty. And in return ... Mardi Gras will now be celebrated throughout the month of February, followed by the month of St. Patrick's Day. We'll also be having the month of Oktoberfest and the month of New Year's Eve. I'll come up with others while jetsetting to Monaco with the rest of the royals. :)

5. I'd vote for you
Except you don't vote for a king, it's all decided in some farcical aquatic ceremony.

6. Real royals consider the Monagasque royals to be euro-trash!
You must have your own yacht to compete with the Crowned heads. The British got rid of Britannia a few years back - maybe we can buy it from them :7

8. Did I say Monaco? I meant St. Moritz.
And I'll travel there by fucking hovercraft, baby.

9. Looks to me like we may end up with a Constitutional Monarchy:
Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, maybe Clinton, maybe JEB, etc.
