Daily Kos: Play Hillaroullette!

Play Hillaroullette!

It's election day, and that means the weird spin of ever-moving goalposts can't be far behind! It's just more proof that HRC will be ready on Day One to continue the present administration's successful policy of changing the goalposts on Iraq, the economy, fighting poverty in America, preparing the country for disasters, and securing ~~telecoms from lawsuits~~ our borders.

Join us below the flip to play the interactive game of Hillaroullette, in which we try to identify the spin on the results of today's primaries.

TheCrank's diary :: ::

Rules:

(1) One spin per person, unless you're the candidate, in which case you get to keep spinning the wheel over and over even when you're out of chips.

(2) If you don't get a winner, blame the media for not reporting your opponents' flaws after winning the last 11 contests.

(3) If you have bet red, and it turns out black, you may claim you were in favor of black all along.

(4) Even if the house rules forbid it, you may spin again in Michigan and Florida.

Here we go!

Or insightful...
Or thought provoking...
Or productive...
Or informative...
Or original...

But that's just my opinion.

Thanks for having a go at it though. I'm sure we could have many enlightening discussions in the future, but from the looks of it not until after the primaries ;)

Premature schadenfreude (0+ / 0-)

Although, if schadenfreude were a dish, it's true that many Obama supporters know the flavor quite well already.

You're like the drummer from REO Speedwagon. Nobody knows who you are.
