Poll question: Will you be watching the WV Election Returns on Television on Tuesday?
Edited on Mon May-12-08 12:52 AM by FrenchieCat
Cause, I won't be.

I'm not going to listen to shit the pundits have to say. They are part of the problem.

I will not watch them spin this shit and talking about "race" all night.

They offend my senses.

I ignored them during the Rev. Wright Pastorbating marathon, and it seem to work;
as most everyone else must have ignored them too based on the election results.

1. I'll be hanging out here, maybe we can share some popcorn.....
:popcorn:

and watch all the gloating before the cold reality that she STILL won't have a shot at it.

but that's about it....

9. Just about everything he says is personally hurtful to me......
The fact that he dares even pastorbate makes it worse....considering that Rev. Wright is more sane than Pat.

13. The fact that Buchanan worked for Nixon is the only thing one
needs to know about him. I do not hate easily, I might actually hate him.

He is racist, elitist, sexist and a religious bigot. The perfect republican.

A reptile.

2. My dear FrenchieCat!
I will not be watching because Tuesday nights are when I go to the weekly poetry reading at the local coffee house!

And that is a lot more important to me than what the pundits have to say!

:P

5. Nope, It Doesn't Really Matter
It is over as far as I am concerned. Time to move on and make our way to the White House.

8. I just think that the fewer of us watch, the less spinning they will continue to do
till May 20th!

In fact, I rarely watch as it is......more like I flip through, as I can only take a small amount of bullshit at a time, especially since I can't answer back. :)

6. Yes - so I can see Hillary's spin in her victory speech
I think that Hillary might end up doing more damage to herself with the superdelegates than good for herself. I like CNN and MSNBC because I enjoy hearing the opinions of David Gergen, Jamal Simmons, and Roland Martin (CNN) as well as Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow (MSNBC).

47. local newspapers
and the WV secretary of state website

I know that Obama is going to lose by at least 20 points and you know what, it will make the voters of WV look bad

If Edwards was still in the race instead of Obama, Hillary would get her wig waxed by the voters

15. No. I live in West Virginia. It's the laughingstock of the nation.
What else is new? :shrug:

I think I'll go see "Iron Man" instead.

20. No. Being bored by talking heads is a highly overrated pastime.
Particularly the puffed-up, self-proclaimed experts, on American TV.

28. I've called Tweety out on inaccurate claims about political history 5 or 6 times
And we're talking about stuff from when he was working for senators and I wasn't even born yet.

25. Well, first I'm gonna watch House, and WV will probably be called by the time it's over
So I might tune in to see if Obama gets some new superdelegates or something.

27. I would be watching on TV, but I'll be working...
Which means that while I'm attempting to run a karaoke show, I'll be constantly distracted by continually checking the results online.

I won't be watching. Whether it's 60-40 or 65-35 is immaterial.

32. NOPE! I have better things to do! I will be SO happy once tomorrow gets here
and ends! One more state and still not much headway by Clinton. Yeah, she will probably get her 70% win but she won't win the nomination. As long as Barack is the nominee, I really don't care about West Virginia or Kentucky.
