2004 US Presidential Election Drinking Game

Keio won the second game today, so classes aren’t cancelled for tomorrow. That doesn’t matter, though, because I’m going to a Do As Infinity concert! Too bad it’s way the hell out in the boonies.

The election is tomorrow, which actually means the day after tomorrow for Japan. Wednesday is a national holiday here, so I plan on playing the 2004 US Presidential Election Drinking Game. The rules are (tentatively) as follows:

• Whenever they predict that a state will choose [candidate] with [x%] confidence margin, take a drink of beer. (If the state is a swing state, finish your beer.)
• If the prediction is reversed for any state, take a shot.
• Whenever they show any candidate’s election HQ party thing, take a sip of beer.
• When a candidate mispronounces something or screws up a saying, finish your beer.
• When a candidate thanks his or her supporters, take a sip of beer.
• When they ask an “expert” about anything, take a sip of beer.
• For reports about election fraud, finish your beer.
• And finally, if Dubya wins by a clear margin, drink all of the booze in the house and move to Canada.

This could be a dangerous election.

P.S. Huzzah, computerized voting machines!
