I figured Bush would be the best guess, because it doubled my chances of being right! :D

Michale.....

From 3/11/92 USA Today, quoting George H.W. Bush about the Super Tuesday election results versus Pat Buchanan:

"It's weird out there, man," he said at a White House photo opportunity. "When a 40-point win isn't considered a victory, I've got to know what the hell is going on out there."

Heheh. I can't either, but I think it would be funny.

And I looked back at your article, Chris, for the date on Super Tuesday. 1980. I guess Nixon is out. So I'm going to switch to Reagan as a 'darkhorse'.

Thanks for the movie recommend, Michale!

It's a killer movie. It even prompted the wife and I to have a political discussion... Something we rarely do...

But I really want to hear ya'alls reactions when you see it.. It opens up some real hard-ball philosophical questions...

CW,

"It's kind of weird out there, man."

I am gonna say Bush... I can't see Nixon putting "man" at the end of anything, unless it's a McCoy-esque, "Good god, man!"

Michale.....

As for the Super Tuesday quote. That's a tough one. A President, you say? My first thought would be Clinton, but since you said we wouldn't guess, I'm not going to guess Bill.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Nixon. But maybe just because I want to picture him saying that :)

Well, it probably wasn't Rahm Emanuel, from what I heard he was saying that night...

Um, Sarah Palin? Sounds like her scansion, for some reason...

Here's my favorite quote from a president after a previous Super Tuesday (I noticed this while researching this article, but couldn't find a way to work it it):

"It's kind of weird out there, man."

Bet nobody will guess who uttered that line...

I was a little disheartened by Blanche Lincoln's establishment win but am taking comfort in how close a grassroots movement came to beating an establishment candidate.

This is more of what needs to happen so that Dems in office don't act like Republican-lites!

Quiz for the day. Who said the following after the "Super" Tuesday elections?

"These candidates have the courage to stand up for their convictions, fight for what they know is right for their states and our nation, and buck politics as usual in order to put government back on the side of the people."

I have since come across an op-ed piece that explains, quite accurately, exactly how Obama actually might be able to pull a win in 2012..

I knew everyone'd be up watching the returns anyways...

Uh.... yeeeaaaaa That's what I was doing. :D

I was watching DayBreakers. Pretty kewl movie if you like blood and guts and gore.. :D

Speaking of movies... David, Liz (and anyone else who is interested), ya'all have GOT to watch UNTHINKABLE with Samuel L Jackson.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0914863/

It's VERY apropos to some of the discussions we have had here on CW.COM

I would love to hear your input on it once ya'all see it.

But, getting back on topic...

CW, do you have an analysis on what the wins and losses mean for the upcoming mid-term elections? :D

Michale.....

Hey, it was still Tuesday out here when I posted it!

:-)

Even though, you know, sometimes the column gets posted on a Wednesday ...
