Godt dammit, it just keeps getting funnier

ETA: I got paged the result below and did look at the website referenced to verify the results, and should have also verified the date but didn't. The GOP result in Maine was from the 2^nd, not from today. Damn! In my defense, the supposedly current result on CNN shows 68% returns counted, so you can see how I was confused. Anyway, please ignore the below.

Mitt Romney, who suspended his campaign (withdrawing from the race) to give Senator McCain a clear shot at the Republican nomination before the convention, has won the Republican Caucuses in Maine today. Convincingly. I'd call that a statement. As I would Huckabee's possible-sweep of Saturday caucuses.

Man. The base hates McCain so much. This is a laff fuckin' riot. I wonder if Romney will un-suspend his campaign just to keep Huckabee from gaining more traction?

I still want "none of the above" as an option -- if that wins, start over but none of the above can run.

It would be fantastically entertaining for my tax money.

I'd support that.

Yes. Yes, it is. Something about "he who lives by the sword" comes to mind.

I hate to break it to you, but the Republican caucus was Feb 2nd. Today was just the democratic caucus. Mind the the wins from Huckabee are still funny, but Romney's win was when he was still in the race.

In my defense, CNN mislead me by showing 68% returns counted as current.

I'd still like to have enough dosh to finance the proverbial Wrench Across The Perceptual Power-Leads..... ^_^ guess I need to sleep with some network execs, or something....

I notice how friendly Colbert is to Huckabee. At least some of that is because he's a pretty good comedian and a very good sport (his message at the end of the three-way Steward-Colbert-O'Brien fight last week was hilarious) but I am thinking Colbert is trying to stir up trouble for the GOP by keeping him popular.
