Hey all. I have recently begun reading Game Change and have as a result decided that a 2008 timeline would be a very efficient use of my time, especially if my 2012 timeline totally bombs. Anyway, said 2008 timeline is due to come to this thread very soon. Smiley

I don't like where this is headed if you're gonna kill of Johnny M.  You'd make me a sad panda Sad.  In all seriousness, there will be hell to pay if a folksy Alaska governor doesn't get the vp nod, and if Christ gets it, you don't wanna know what I'll do.  I might vote that this thread is okay, even if it's good (which, in all seriousness, it is so far.)

Just 1 complaint: less results and more info please.  And more Paul; the media blackout is extending to the forum Wink

I mean, you kind of have to assume that there is going to be a twist in it so killing off John McCain (which doesn't seem like where this is going) would be a solid POD. But I see where this is going, Edwards wins the primaries and his sex scandal blows up in his face about a month before the election and he loses to McCain.

Criticism considered! Next update will be pretty news related. And don't assume anything. After all, Romney has swept all of the GOP contests. Wink
