The big question when constructing this drinking game: will Dan Rather be doing the marathon commentary thing from 4 years ago?

I'm actually planning to host an election party, and I think vast amounts of alcohol are the only way to make it all tolerable. So keep going!

Sympatico (shmuel), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 06:51 (twenty years ago)

Fox News attempts to make it look like Bush might win an obviously blue state: mix and drink a long island iced tea.
