TIME Magazine posted its drinking game suggestion:

  • “Ground game.” The key is to pace yourself. Drink one sip.
  • An incumbent is described as “embattled.” Drink three sips.
  • A Taylor Swift reference. Drink three.
  • “It will all come down to turnout.” Finish your drink.
  • John King doodles on his Magic Wall. Drink one.
  • A network presents publicly available information as an exclusive. Drink three.
  • Hologram sighting. Finish your drink.
  • A Democratic dynasty candidate loses. This includes: Mark Begich, Jason Carter, Andrew Cuomo, Mary Landrieu, Michelle Nunn, Mark Pryor, Mark Udall. Drink one. Let’s not go crazy.
  • Democrats win a battleground state: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Hampshire or North Carolina. Finish your drink.
  • A winning candidate thanks God. Drink one.
  • A winning candidate thanks his or her big donors. Drink three.
  • A winning candidate thanks Barack Obama. Finish your drink.
  • An anchor or correspondent cites an obscure, “crucial” county that may determine the fate of a race. Drink one.
  • You’ve heard of the county. Drink three.
  • Because you’ve heard of the county, you know the person touting its importance just mangled its name. Finish your drink.
  • A Democratic pundit points to the history of midterm losses for a sitting president. Drink one.
  • A Republican describes a win as a “mandate.” Drink one.
  • Newt Gingrich uses an out-of-proportion superlative. Drink three.
  • A media pundit advises Obama to “hit the reset button” or fire people who were in no way responsible for anything that transpired on Election Night. Finish your drink.
  • A winning candidate praises an opponent that he or she has been brutally savaging for months. Drink one.
  • The number of American flags on stage at a candidate’s victory speech exceeds the number of Electoral College votes in that state. Drink three.
  • A winning candidate is not wearing a flag pin. Finish your drink.
  • The number of on-screen pundits discussing the political impact of the Ebola virus exceeds the number the Americans with the Ebola virus. Finish your drink.
  • Someone notes that there’s only 730 days until we do this again. It’s time to call it a night.

Idle question: I know Dem candidates always choose union printing shops. Do Republican candidates explicitly choose non-union ones, or do they just pick whatever?

They go for the one their friend owns. Like Democrats, except the friend has to have a union shop for your printing in order for your candidate to get the printing union's contribution and endorsement. If friend's contribution>value of union's kickback and endorsement, then go to friend.

However, most other unions look poorly upon this practice, so if you need union endorsements to win your district, it might be cheaper to go with a union shop. If you don't need union votes and endorsements to win, then you go for whoever benefits you more.

This will be our third opportunity to reject Scott Walker the Carpathian. Also known as Scott Walker the Cruel, Scott Walker the Torturer, Scott Walker the Despised and Scott Walker the Unholy. (Potentially also Scott Walker the Butch, though this is unconfirmed.) At this point, it's our own drat fault.



It doesn't help that the Wisconsin Democratic Party is completely and utterly inept. Their chair, Mike Tate, is just a loving moron.
