    He's Speaker of the General Assembly, and there's no way they'll lay a glove on him. Quinn is the governor, and he's too hokey to be corrupt.

    I really wish the state rundown was announced by someone who does not give a fuck. "Okay, now for the state that's dressed like I do when I've had rye for breakfast: Hawaii." "Next state, Idaho, what does the corn say?" "New York, go fuck yourself."

    I know that Obama ran unopposed, but at the RNC when they did roll call, was it 100% Romney, or did the delegates reflect the primary vote?

    oh my goodness look at those adorable kids from Iowa.

    Somebody stuck that boy's finger in a socket.

    I love it. He reminds me of my brother.

    Oh no, his voice cracked on national TV. That breaks my heart for him.

    They refused to seat the delegates that Ron Paul won, basically.

    Yeah the Paulites mentioned their votes, no one marked them down at all.

    Is that common? Seems kinda like kicking your support base in the balls.

    Hilariously, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and a couple other states didn't get their full delegations seated because they voted for crazy white people (felons!).

    They changed the rules on the spot so that they did not have to seat them. It's uncommon.

    Bum,

    Why are the vote totals off? is that for super delegates? Kentucky's graphic said 73 votes, but they only cast 72. And i've seen that happen a few times already.

    On the other hand, I just looked at Ryan Williams' twitter. God damn, that's weak.

    Some crazy people got delegates in some of the more... well, racist states. Louisiana was like 17 off because a sizable minority of them didn't vote for the President.
