Of Freekin’ Course We’re Having a Contest
Sing along, now. I don’t care if it’s Daddy or Momma, ‘long as I got my plastic Obama riding on the dashboard of my car.
Okay, so I tried to get Oprah to give us a car as our prize in honor of the Michigan primary, but the best I could do is a Dashboard Obama for your American made car.
Yes, Folks and Folkers, this is a genuine plastic official Barack Obama Dashboard Doll brought to you by the fine makers of pretty much everything plastic.
You guess the outcome of the Four Horsemen of the Republican Apocalypse – Gingrich, Santorum, Romney and Paul in order of their finish in both the Michigan and Arizona primaries. Then you guess their percentages.
In case of tie, names of the tied guys will be written on pieces of scrap paper and ceremoniously placed in a plastic cup, where a winner will be drawn by Verdelia, this year’s official ceremonious drawing queen.
This contest ends at noon on Tuesday. And, yes, you may enter more than once in case Romney gets attacked by a dog on Monday or Santorum gets swooped up by a an alien spaceship and taken to HappyLand …. again. However, entering more than twice is considered rude. I don’t you don’t care, but Momma does.
Good luck and may the best crapshooter win.
I think Santorum will win at 32%
Romney will be so-o-o disappointed with his 29% that he’ll make a mess similar to his dog and have to be hosed off.
Paul will get a respectable 25%, and it will be just about the only respectable thing about him.
Gingrich probably won’t be able to extend that line of credit at Tiffany’s with a poor 12%. Too bad, so sad.
1My car really, really needs a plastic Obama on the dash, so here goes my wild guesses:
MICHIGAN
Santorum……….40%
Romney……….39%
Paul……….12%
Gingrich……….9%
ARIZONA
2Romney……….40%
Santorum……….34%
Gingrich……….16%
Paul……….10%
Trying to give the good Republicans of Michigan a bare benefit of the doubt.

Won’t try for the contest, but nice to see the Obama dashboard decor – I have his cousin, “Shave-Ice Obama,” riding around on the back dash of my vehicle. Such a cheery fellow! My 2-year old granddaughter LOVES to bobble his head. One of my most treasured Obama items (I have many, including a 2008 blank ballot, a duplicate sent to my daughter, and my Obama-themed Spiderman comic), and it’s one of my fave car decorations EVAHHHH!!!!!

Winner in both should be “What do you mean these are the only choices?”
The GOP is going to get the candidate it deserves. What scares me spitless is the possibility that we may ALL get the president they deserve. I look at these clowns and think that most American voters couldn’t possibly go for any of them, but I’ve been wrong before. Well, 2000 wasn’t the majority of voters’ fault, but it still shouldn’t have been anywhere near that close.

16Hokay, I checked in wid da Yoopers an’ dey’re sayin’ cripes, it’s snowin’ again. S’posedta be cold an’ snowy tomorra. Dere’s on’y aboot 150,000 voters up dere an’ mosta dem are, ya know, Dem. Or caribou, and we know what hoochycoochy-libs dey are, right? Anyhoo. So, turnout, oh cripes, not so much, ya know?
As for the rest of the state, I’ve checked the weather, reviewed everyone’s guesses, listened to radio, pored over Real Clear Politics averages, rolled out the talismans in my juju bag, flipped coins, and drank a whole bottle of whiskey (okay, I’da done that one anyway.)
All of that says Romney’s gonna win, except for the whiskey, which says Santorum. Mr. Daniels, I’m going to trust you one more time.
“ManOnDog Catcher” Santorum – 40%
“Dog’s Worst Friend” Romney – 38%
“Dog in the Manger” Paul – 12%
“Nothin’ but a Hounddog” Gingrich – 8%
Meanwhile, in Arizona, where Gov. Jan Bruja is still angry about that house falling on her sister, where conditions will be clear, warm and dry (duh!), where headless messkins litter the desert, then rise at night to steal jobs and, if they can’t find any, vital services, where only Joe “Pinkie” Arpaio stands between you and Latino zombies…
…well, I don’t know what to think about that “state,” either. The one thing my gut tells me is that for Gingrich, the writing is on the adobe, and his supporters may stay home, or switch allegiances. Bruja’s BOLD endorsement after the contest was all-but-decided may add a point or two to Mitt.
Mitt the Chameleon – 46%
17Rick the Snake – 35%
Newt the Newt – 11%
Ron the Fastest Mouse in all of Arizona – 8%

Okay, so that #1 entry above is Michigan. I spent a couple of decades living in different parts of Arizona, and don’t believe there are enough sane people out there who actually vote to make a difference. Not as bad as here in Texas, though (the sane people voting thing.) So here’s my AZ prediction:
Romney 35%
Santorum 34%
Paul 15%
Gingrich 9%
None of the above the remaining 17%
There’s a reason why people on the Left Coast call ‘em “Zonies.”

OOOHHH, I sooo want that bobblehead–and I don’t even own a car! I spose I could carry it around from Zipcar to Zipcar, but my luck in these contests is just putrid. So, I’m betting there are enough Dems in Michigan who will merrily go and vote for Frothy, just to throw a wrench in the Rethugs proceedings:
Frothy 40%
Mittens 32%
Paul 16%
Nootie 10%

I’ve seen that plastic Obama with my own eyes and I WANT TO WIN HIM for my very own. So I’m gonna go all crazy since everyone else has relatively sane votes and say:
25Mich/Zona
Santorem 34/35
Paul 28/28
Mittster 26/26

Oopsie, too late. Reading instructions has never been my forte.
38Okay, I am never taking you people to Las Vegas with me.
It boiled down to this: James saw the gap in Arizona but predicted a closer race in Michigan. Austin Hat Lady almost nailed Arizona and came close in Michigan. Uncle Dave saw the gap in Arizona and also came close in Michigan, and did Bo Leeyo. Margie saw the gap in Arizona but missed Michigan. Ted was the other way around. James nailed the numbers in Arizona but saw Michigan as a closer race.
I put James, Austin Hat Lady, and Uncle Dave’s names in a hat and …. ta da, the winner and reigning champion is Austin Hat Lady. However, if James and Uncle Dave will send me their addresses, I will send them an Obama 12 cap.
