In addition to the pokemon thing, Carson will also have to top the dead-rabbit-skeet-shoot ad, which remains my favorite thing from Cain's run last time.

And the smoking campaign manager ad, and having "awwwwwwwwww shucky ducky!" as a catchphrase, and a tax plan based on Sim City 2000.

I'm sure the Republicans will do their due diligence to keep us entertained next election.

You guys give the Republicans too much credit. Will they be crazy? Of course, they've had crazy poo poo going on since at least Ford vs. Reagan. Its going to be up to the open Democratic primary to push 2016 over the edge in craziness.

One of Clint Eastwood's conditions for making a speech at the DNC was that he didn't have to run it by Romney's campaign for approval beforehand. He just asked for an extra chair minutes before going on stage. One of Romney's advisers vomited backstage when he realized what Eastwood was doing.

ReindeerF posted:If it's anything like the last set of off years, they'll spend an extraordinary amount of time talking about Minority Leader Pelosi, then spread the rest around a cast of characters including Harry Reid, DWS, etc. Reid's tougher because he's a plain-faced, straight talking white dude, so you have to learn to hate him, but put someone like Pelosi or DWS on a GOP direct mail piece and the money flows in. Hell, even I find DWS obnoxious and difficult to sit through (Pelosi just seems like any soulless politician to me, no different than Reid). I had no idea who you meant by DWS until your last sentence, and then I figured it out, so I guess the feeling is mutual?

I'm always surprised when people are like, "What's so annoying about her?" It's like asking what's so annoying about Gilbert Gottfried or Mary Matalin or something. If you don't see it, I guess it doesn't exist for you, but man it hits me like a wave. Who is DWS though, since I apparently dont see their issue and so cant connect them together?

As much as I like terrible Dem campaigns, I'd hate to see Mark Penn being pulled away from his role in loving up all of Microsoft's consumer messaging. But I sort of want to see him translate his "Scroogled" mantra into something that can lose a primary to Biden.
