If Hillary's Campaign Were Playing Football, They'd Insist Only Touchdowns Count Towards A Win
Edited on Sat Mar-29-08 11:51 PM by cryingshame
and screw the field goals... at least if the field goals were what put the opposing team in the winner's seat.

one last time- there is NO SUCH THING as the Popular Vote in primaries that involve caucuses.

And Texas is a two-part process.

The Primary and then the Caucuses.

Saying Hillary won in Texas is like saying you won a football game by only counting touchdowns in a game where field goals gave the other team the winning score.

1. Great post crying... And the audacity to come up with the electoral victory...
Edited on Sat Mar-29-08 11:24 PM by LakeSamish706
as the Clinton's did this past week... Yikes, now thats really moving the goal posts beyond reason.

Edited to explain:

Someone in the Hillary campaign came up with counting Electoral votes in this contest (Primaries)... Huh? What the hell does that have to do with the price of eggs in China for Christ sakes?

6. So why bother with the other states at all? Just make it a 10 state "primary"
and be done with it, right?

8. Especially if those are 'safe' Dem states
We won the easy ones with 16 years of name recognition, so you should quit.

4. More like they'd only want to count the touchdowns and field goals they were able to make
Sort of like, "Hey dude, can you spot me 20 points. No? Well then you have to be all time quarterback. k?"

5. If HRC's campaign was playing football, she'd be telling us about the 18 Superbowls she won....
.....while it snowing and an earthquake was going on and how she had to dodge bullets and keep her head down for each yard.

11. Only passing touchdowns counts towards a win!
Edited on Sun Mar-30-08 12:00 AM by dkf
Screw rushing touchdowns.

Oh, and of course, a return counts only if it was returned from the end zone.
