That reminded me of something. Have you ever seen Sanders with his family? Come to think of it, have you ever seen him in the same room as a mirror?

Too early here to start drinking, not even 5pm :) but I sure could use a glass of something. I'm taking a drink every time Fox news pumps up (nonexistent) Marco Rubio "momentum". The caucus hasn't even started I might already have alcohol poisoning...

Generally when folks screw up, they have voted and then blown it in another way. They vote, then write a note. This counts as two breaches. Sometimes they just blow the vote.
Of ten problem votes last night, there was one duplicate. Only the last vote was counted. I allow this.
Then there were seven votes amount the nine breaches.
Two were Cruz and five were for Trump. None of those counted. 5-2=3, so this would have swung vote a little more than 0.5% more for Trump. If you look at the spread, you quickly realize that would not be significant at all.
Trump lost out last night, but I honestly don’t count each night.
I’m so concentrated on looking for breaches, that I don’t even see the names, even though I look right at them.
I’m looking for infractions and when I see them I take action and the candidate doesn’t register.
In my workup, I have the candidate’s name in two columns. In the right column I write the infraction, breach (of protocol), duplicate, or vote out of the time window.
These as well as the candidate’s names are automatically tallied above.
You see the results in the top graphic on the results page.

Opuses will rain down like locusts in Egypt. LOL. Yes but locusts were just one of many plagues. We have so many others to look forward to :)

Phil Robertson for president! He’d shut down the government during duck hunting season, which could only be an improvement.

Wonder where Milt Romney is lurking tonight..?

Actually, it’s nearly midday on the East Coast (Sydney) in Australia, not midnight.

There is no such thing as too early to start drinking.

Yes, those much ballyhooed evangelicals. There must have been a thousand articles posted here on how the evangelicals are going to flex their muscle and propel another dark horse candidate to a brief shining moment in the sun, before they run up against the rocks in New Hampshire.
Just another 2-3 hours and I can put Iowa in my rear view mirror for another four years. Nothing against the people of Iowa but I'm just plain tired of hearing about Iowa.

Yes, and I must say I was surprised to see that.

>> I’m taking a drink every time Fox news ...
If you’re watching fox news, you don’t need an EXCUSE to drink; you need to drink prophylactically.

I just realized though, that he/she/it flames, logs back with a different profile, and watches the action ensue. And then right back to agitation.
