Alpha's Alaska-Washington-Hawaii Primary watchers thread.

Hi guys!

I missed the last couple primaries on here due to a combo of personal and a family members health issues so I figured I would check and see if someone had already jumped in to fill the void while I was gone. Smile

If not, we can do it again tonight on this thread or if someone is doing a better one just let me know and I will jump in!

Regardless of local, I look forward to watching the returns with you tonight! (Although I don't know if I will make it through to Hawaii being EST, lol!)

See you soon my C99P Peeps!

that Sanders only won by 72.7% and not the 73 I was pining for I suppose.

Think that would be humble enough to avoid being buried in flags? Wink

record, I literally spent 13 years interacting daily with murders, child molesters and some of the most viscous gang bangers you could imagine, and even in them I seldom saw levels of actual giddiness over killing.

Lets see how the Media spins that to suit the narrative tomorrow.

Or, I guess they could just do like tonight and do reruns about Jeebus!

They seem to be more comfortable with Fantasy over Reality, so it could very well be the latter.

I wanted to give a big thanks to you Alpha. It take more than a little fortitude to see our dreams being realized.
I'm going to stay until the first official counts are posted. Then I may just make it an all nighter just for fun. It's been a whole month since I've seen the sun come up twice without a nap.

Pirat XO Reserve, neat, for this ne'er-do-well.

Mom-of-AB's maiden name was the same as a dastardly Frenchie who made quite a name for himself plying the briny blue in the Caribbean during the 17th century. It was spoken of as fact that he was a privateer, not a pirate, please.

They have an amazing one, in a great solid corked decanter with a TON of character for a silly cheap price!

When I can find it they have a pretty amazing Scotch for around $35 a bottle that is better than some of the stuff I have had at 3 times the price.

The also have an amazing Vodka that is cleaner than Grey Goose or most of the other "Top Shelf" ones for like $18 for a 1.75L bottle.

Costco is such a great company with solid products that treats their employee's well so I love pimping their stuff. Smile

Started buying back when I lived in the Reno area.

Was way easier to get both there and NJ than down here in Florida. 3 years now and EVERY time I get to Costco they are sold out of the Scotch. It's so good it just doesn't sit on the shelf long down here compared to when I lived in NV or NJ for some reason. I even offered to bribe the clerk to put aside a case for me but no joy. Damn ethical people.... Smile

Next time I go home if they have it I am buying a case and just shipping it down here. Smile

That's amazing! The error in Alaska was about 3%, which is pretty amazing in itself. They missed Washington by 8%, but that's still pretty good for self-reporting.

I am so proud of the work all our fellow citizens have done to keep us all informed in the face of the #MediaBlackout.

Seriously, much love to all of those that shared information and added to the unofficial spreadsheet, it was truly an amazing feat considering the accuracy and quality in the face of a total lack of "official" information.

No wonder this whole "intertubes" thing has the PTB in such a tizzy.

The fact that we can inform ourselves quite accurately without them has to have them in a bit of a panic.

Nobody likes to feel unneeded or irrelevant, and the MSM is rapidly proving they are both!

Man, today is a good day to feel the Bern. I am gonna go to sleep with happy tears in the corner of my eyes when I finally manage to wind down enough to do so. Smile
