DCision Video 7: Delaney Speaks!

Ted Scheinman — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 23:20:32 +0000

Update from Ward 6: Don't miss this hard-hitting tell-all, in which Arthur Delaney (a.k.a. Sir Pants-a-lot) holds forth on his incredible dark horse campaign, the resonance of his message, his umbrella woes, and the perils of picking Glick.

Don't be fooled by the blazer, folks. Arthur Delaney may look like your typical District politico, but he drinks his beers one at a time. Just like the rest of us.

DCision Video 3*: McCain HQ in Crystal City

Ted Scheinman — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:29:30 +0000

In which we speak with Mary and Pam, two McCain volunteers who predict an upset victory for the Republican ticket. Mary doesn't trust polls, while Pam thinks Virginia and Florida are going to break decisively for McCain.

An Obama victory, Pam adds, might signify that God requires "penance" from the U.S. For something.

Plus: will Prop 8 turn California red?!?!

Um...probably not.
